Is the season over? The dragging out the "excitement" until well into January is one of the worst decisions ever made by the television executives truly calling the shots. Dumb. Half the country has already moved on to the NFL playoffs, while the other half may give the game a decent rating but has signed off on the games played between 1/1 and tonight.
College football should take over Christmas as the NBA and college football have two different audiences. If the NFL can have a triple header on Thanksgiving then college football can up the ante on Christmas. New Year's Eve can also be better utilized and the lesser games can be used as first games of double headers with the BCS games. And do not be afraid of the last Sunday night NFL game as that game is usually meaningless or, like this year's "battle for the NFC West" not carrying too much import even when a playoff berth is riding on it.
As for tonight I have like Oregon all along and do not see a reason to change. The game should be fun but not as high-scoring as people think. Don't get me wrong, both teams will reach the high 20s, but it will not end up 45-44. Enjoy.
