We're at that point in college football's annual B-movie horror classic when the monster staggers back to its feet for the umpteenth time.

Texas will be left out in the cold again, USC&#39;s free ride and a break down of who should play in the Orange Bowl. It&#39;ll take nothing short of a loss by California or Utah for Mack Brown and Texas to get into the BCS.

Don't be too dazzled by the new-and-improved model of the Bowl Championship Series coming to a newspaper or TV outlet near you. It will have to go back to the dealer soon enough.

Bye-bye, Bowl Championship Series. I&#39;d say it was nice knowing you, but it wasn&#39;t. Given what we know about the BCS and its cast of stubborn characters, nothing is certain.

Let the arguments begin. The first Bowl Championship Series rankings are due out in a few weeks and the number of unbeaten teams is shrinking rapidly.

It is all a matter of perspective. For Boston College, a trip to Disney World and Friday's Champs Sports Bowl against Michigan State had to be sold a different way. The Eagles, who have won seven straight bowl games - but none of them New Year's Day quality - had their sights set on the ACC title and an Orange ...

It has happened every year since the BCS was formed in 1998. One way or another, whether by blowing its chance or by another team not providing help, Texas finds itself at the Cotton or Holiday bowls.
