UF President Slams Greg Oden, Big Ten, BCS

Actually, you can add Michigan and Jim Delany to that list.

Here's the full story. University of Florida president Bernie Machen has been pushing for a playoff system for college football since before Florida was selected to play in the BCS National Championship against Ohio State. In fact, he started putting the wheels in motion before Florida won the SEC championship game against Arkansas in late '06.

That he still campaigns for a playoff today, despite the fact that Florida ended up being lucky enough to get selected to the title game instead of Michigan, says volumes about his passion for the subject. And in this recent CBS Sportsline interview, Machen used both barrels of his verbal shotgun to express his thoughts.

More after the jump. (You'll be entertained, I promise.)

Ohio State vs. North Carolina Preview

Jamar ButlerI'm certainly enjoying the Buckeyes 6-0 start and #1 ranking in the Coaches Poll, but I've kind of had the feeling so far this season that the Bucks might be a little overrated. They're a young team, and their best player won't be joining them for at least another month or so. I think they're going to be a force in March, but I'd kind of mentally chalked up tonight's game and next month's game against Florida as losses.

But then I read this blog entry by Big Ten Wonk, one of the best college basketball bloggers around, and I took heart. Wonk thinks the Bucks are championship caliber, and he's extremely impressed with Mike Conley Jr.. He also says this years Buckeye team reminds him of the 2005 Illinois team, but with Greg Oden. I'm thinking I'd take that.

North Carolina is an awfully good team in their own right, but they're young as well, which makes it tough to really know what's going to happen. I still feel like tonight's more than likely a loss (it is in Chapel Hill after all), but who knows? A win here would be pretty huge as a confidence builder for all these Freshman.

GO BUCKS!
