10 Overhyped/Underperformed Games of 2008

Ten most overrated/overhyped College Football Games of 2008

10. LSU- App State - Michigan needs to pull themselves out of the crapper. App State apparently is not as good as once thought.

9. UGA - ASU - This game had all the hype, until ASU lost the week before to UNLV. Even so, it was the first time UGA was west of the Mississippi since 1960. I went to this game and even though the game was never close, it was worth going.

8. Penn State - Michigan State -- It's the (not so) Big 10. Michigan State had a share of their conference title on the line, then forgot to show up.

7. Alabama - Auburn - The annual rivalry game failed to generate any interest because Auburn was so terrible this year. Even so, I expected a fair showing from the Tigers, but I was wrong and they got handled.

6. Oklahoma - Missouri - This could have been a great story line for Mizzou, but instead, they decided to fold and get utterly distroyed in the Big-12 championship game.

5. Alabama - Clemson - This is the game we found out how good Alabama was going to be and how terrible Clemson was, despite the top ten ranking.

4. Alabama - UGA - 31 - 0 at the half, are you kidding? I was at this game and wish I would have sold my ticket. The second half was reasonably entertaining though.

3. Oklahoma- Texas Tech - This had national title implications all over it, then Texas Tech remebered that they don't belong.

2. USC vs Ohio State - Ohio State, big game, flop.

1. UGA vs Florida - This was also a big flop by the men in the silver britches. This game started off bad with missed field goals. Ended worse.


Best under the radar games/games that lived up to hype
Notre Dame - Syracuse - Did Syracuse beat Notre Dame? I bet that Lou Holtz still thinks Notre Dame should be ranked in the top 4.
USC - Oregon State - Great game. Always enjoy seeing USC go down to a mediocre team
Texas - Oklahoma - Opposite of Auburn - Alabama
Alabama - Florida - SEC title game generally is a fun game to watch, this one lived up to the hype unlike Oklahoma - Texas Tech
Penn State - Ohio State - Entertaining to see Ohio State lose.

WTF Auburn?

Bookmark

In a surprise move, Auburn has decided to tap Gene Chizik as the next head coach of the Auburn football team. I think this is just plain silly. Chizik had a superb record as an assistant coach both at Auburn in 2004 and Texas in 2005, but as head coach, his resume is quite suspect. At Iowa State (without playing Texas, Texas Tech, or Oklahoma this year) Chizik is 5-19 in his two seasons and ended this season with a 10-game losing streak.

I knew once Tuberville left, the head coaching job at Auburn would be a tough sell, but this is ridiculous. Auburn needs to remember where they came from and they should have found a more qualified coach. The Auburn athletic powers have forgotten their good football tradition. How can anyone expect Chizik to perform against Alabama or the SEC for that matter? He will not unite the fan base, he will not succeed, and he will not outperform Tuberville. Read Full Article!

War Eagle no more, Tuberville is out the door at Auburn. Dirty South is the first to report this fresh off an insider email received today.
