Bowl Championship Series rankings tend to leave heads spinning, dizzy from trying to decipher the decimal points that determine postseason destinies.

The Heat are a mess. The Bulls are a mess. The Nets are a mess. Those three, all thought to be legitimate playoff teams, were 18 games under .500 entering last night, with Miami, less than two years removed from an NBA title, holding down the cellar. None would even make the playoffs if the season ended today.

It will be different this afternoon for Boston College. No Atlantic Coast Conference opponent, no pregame buildup. And, in a real sense, it will be different for the fans coming to Alumni Stadium for the matchup with Army.

Call the Bowl Championship Series flawed. Call it a bogus way of crowning a national champion. Call it nasty names that can't be mentioned here.

It was just another Bowl Championship Series selection Sunday, as unhappy teams from coast-to-coast once again sparked debate about the BCS, even if there were mostly agreement that USC and Oklahoma

Where to now? That was the question everyone at Boston College was asking yesterday after the 17th-ranked Eagles laid a colossal egg in Saturday's devastating 43-17 loss against Syracuse. It cost BC the Big East title outright, a berth in the Bowl Championship Series, and a likely New Year's Day bid to the Fiesta Bowl.

Good morning, Lloyd Carr and Charlie Weis, coaches of the No. 1- and No. 2-winningest programs in the history of college football. How does it feel to be knocked out of contention for the national championship before Labor Day?

College footballâs 3 1/2-month regular season has come down to this: Three critical games. And a couple of critical votes. Unbeaten USC, Oklahoma and Auburn remain 1-2-3 in Mondayâs Bowl Championship Series

The Bowl Championship Series standings underwent a shakeup yesterday, but the top two teams -- Southern California and Oklahoma -- remained the same.

Question 1: How many weeks did it take for the BCS to once again prove it was a fraud? One. Let&#39;s pretend for a minute that this was December 6th and not October 19th.

OK, so the battle for the Bowl Championship Series national championship between No. 1 Southern Cal and No. 2 Oklahoma was a competitive flop. The Trojans' 55-19 victory over the Sooners in Tuesday night's Orange Bowl settled the issue of who's No. 1, which is what the BCS is all about. Isn't it?

It didn't take long. First poll, first controversy. Or at least mini-controversy. If you had taken the wisdom of the two human polls, the first Bowl Championship Series rankings that were released yesterday should have been a no-brainer.

Well, at least it won't be Boise. That may not be much of a consoling thought, but it's about the best anyone can come up with after the Boston College Eagles eliminated themselves from ACC championship consideration by losing a 17-14 decision to Miami at the decrepit Orange Bowl last night.

Actually, I just finished looking at the final BCS standings and could use a boost. More to the point, I could use an aspirin. So let me get this straight: Pittsburgh loses to Nebraska and Connecticut, narrowly

Things are getting tighter, contenders are dropping like flies and conference races are coming down to the wire. Ahhhh, it&#39;s a good time to be a college football fan.
