The first week of December is fever time in Columbus. Didn't you tell me that the entire Fall season was kind-of feverish with that silly game of football? Oh, yeah! but having spent the whole quarter watching and cheering for the Buckeyes, students realize at the end of the quarter that they haven't done anything worthwhile, and now it's too late to go back and read the first lecture when final exams are just around the corner. For many courses, the final exam is the make-or-break session - those 2 hours decide where you are going to end up in class.
That still doesn't take away the attention from football. The season-ending BCS rankings were released on Sunday evening. The Florida Gators have been picked as No. 2, ahead of Michigan, to play the top-ranked Buckeyes in the BCS Championship at Glendale, AZ on Jan. 8. Though people have been crying foul over the unfair system that left Michigan high and dry, we at Columbus are focussed over our next No. 2 ranking opponent this season. The Buckeyes have already faced 2 No. 2 teams this season - Texas early season and then Michigan in the season-finale. No other team in College football history has defeated 3 No. 2 teams in a season, and if we are able to dump the Gators, pretty much like we did with all other teams this season, that will surely establish the Buckeyes 2006 team as the greatest in college football history.
BCS...here we come! Meanwhile, I'll get my flu shot.

Bloogy gators go through because they played a game extra. My heart goes out for wolverines (MSU is among my fav univs)
buckeyes got a beating of their lives!! Now I cant even say Gators got through by lobbying, especially after michigan got smashed by USC in rose bowl!!
