By Wally Some thoughts on the world of college football following a day of conference championship games: -- Cincinnati was lucky to get by Pitt in a barn-burner 45-44. So the Bearcats will be the 4th ranked team in the land when the rankings come out Sunday and headed to a nice BCS Bowl.

So Long, Charlie!
ND football has just hit a new low. And although he may not have been fired just yet, Charlie Weis just took one step out the door with Saturday's unbelievable head-scratching loss to Navy. The only thing that can save him now is to win the next 3 games (at Pitt, UConn, at Stanford) AND the bowl game. But right now, the chances of that miracle happening look quite slim … [Read more...] about So Long, Charlie!
