Yep, it will be the Florida Gators, NOT the Michigan Wolverines, NOT the USC Trojans and obviously, NOT the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Many expected the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes to be at the NCAA College Football national championship game come January. The question there however is who will face them? Many pretenders surfaced like the West Virginia Mountaineers, the Trojans and those Scarlet Knights.
But after weeks of anticipation, it’s finally official, it will be Rex Grossman’s former team, the Florida Gators. Of course, not everybody agrees with it.
The Florida Gators’ march to the SEC championship impressed voters and, in turn, the computers enough to bump the team ahead of the Michigan Wolverines and into the No.2 spot in the final BCS standings behind the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes. The Gators and Buckeyes will square off in the NCAA College Football title game Jan.8 in Glendale, Arizona.
The BCS National Championship will be hosted by the…

Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan are hands off more than just underwear these days.
The old new best friends (of one another and the paparazzi) have outdone themselves lately with celebrity party photos far skankier than strip poker pictures. The latest pics come not only with nipple slips and drunken walks of shame but the added bonus of Britney’s crotch-exposing upskirts, owing to her new-found love of nights out, undies down.
I can imagine the Crotch Queen’s desperate 
urge to feel liberated after being married to someone like K-Fed; however, for many of us, the joy of snacking while online is now forever ruined.
It seems the gal pals are stripped beyond panties. Lindsay Lohan, for one, is also hands off booze, or so her mother says. Mom Dina Lohan told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM Los Angeles radio show that her woozy daughter is attending AA meetings. Make no mistake: she wasn’t outing Lindsay’s drinking problem, saying Lindsay is just going along with friends.
“A lot of people she hangs out with go, and it’s a positive thing,” says Dina, now that she’s made Lindsay’s rendezvous with reforming alcoholics not so anonymous. “She’s 20 and I’m not gonna say, ‘Stay home and don’t go out.’ That’s a ridiculous thing to do.”
Right. I suppose this means visiting American soldiers in Iraq with…

Tonight, Jay Cutler becomes the next Broncos quarterback that no one in Denver will like because his name isn’t “John Elway.” Well, that might not be true. They could end up liking him. Denver had Super Bowl hopes as recent as a few weeks ago, so all Cutler has to do is rescue the floundering team, put the franchise on his back, end their two-game losing streak, overcome a 2-game division deficit with the Chargers and/or hold of the Chiefs for a playoff spot. Then they’ll accept him. Sounds easy enough. No pressure at all.
The Seahawks, meanwhile, look to build on their performance Monday night against Green Bay in which Shaun Alexander once again wore his big boy pants. The Seahawks looked awfully scary in the second half against the Packers, but again, it was the Packers, so who knows? It is still perfectly reasonable to think that the Seahawks could end up being the best team in the NFC.
So if you’re going to enjoy the renewal of an old AFC West rivalry, you might as well do it here, among people who can’t see that you’re still wearing a Jake Plummer jersey.

• The Texans beat the Raiders. I feel like taking a baseball bat to my television, and I didn’t even care who won this game. I don’t even think anyone in Oakland or Houston cared about who won this game. Ron Dayne, the man whose career would not die, carried the ball 18 times for 95 yards. David Carr finished with 32 yards passing. Really. 32 yards. And won.
• The good Jaguars showed up this week, which means they’ll probably lose by 30 next week. They beat the Dolphins 24-10, getting a career day from Matt Jones, with six catches for 128 yards. David Garrard threw a couple of touchdown passes, and Joey Harrington threw a couple of TD passes. Today did see the rare big day from Chris Chambers, though, catches 8 balls for 121 yards.
• Here’s Martin Grammatica right now, for a game winner for the Cowboys. The Giants call a timeout to ice him, and now he’s praying. 46 yarder for the Mike Vanderjagt replacement. And he nailed it. Splits the uprights, had plenty of distance… that kick was cash. I did not see that coming. :01 on the clock. Bill Parcells is positively gleeful. Terrell Owens probably still thinks it was a bad idea to let Vanderjagt go. Squib kick, a couple of laterals… and we’re done here. Cowboys win, 23-20.

• Last week, Mathias Kiwanuka had Vince Young wrapped up for a sack, and let him go… this week, Kiwanuka intercepted a pass, and them fumbled it right back to the Cowboys. It’s as if he wants Tom Coughlin to kill him in his sleep. Eli Manning is sort of outplaying Tony Romo right now. Romo’s got 2 interceptions, and no touchdowns. Manning has a TD and no INTs. It’s 7-7.
• Curious about how the Raiders new offensive coordinator is doing? Well, the Raiders just had a 4th-and-43. You may be surprised to learn that they didn’t pick up the first. Fortunately for them, though, David Carr has been a turnover waiting to happen. Oakland just took a Carr fumble to the house to take a 14-7 lead.
• Every single one of these afternoon games is pretty brutal… but I think this one’s the ugliest. Pittsburgh has sucked less than Tampa Bay so far. The star of the game is Jerame Tuman, with 1 catch for 2 yards and a touchdown. It’s 10-0 Pittsburgh.
