Top 5 busts of the college football season

They were going to prove the Irish were back. They were going to prove Notre Dame was a contender. They were going to prove they could make shiny helmets. Well, at least they got one. After falling 0-2 to South Florida and Michigan, they had the crowds saying Hail Mary’s again. Notre Dame managed to go 8-4, but coach Kelly talked a big game and came up with a medium result.

3. Stephen Garcia

C’mon man. You’ve had 28 second chances. Stephen Garcia was reinstated again before the beginning of the season to lead the Gamecocks to a possible SEC East championship. After just a few games, the ol’ ball coach was tired of Garcia again and kicked him off. Again. Connor Shaw showed some light this year, though as the Gamecocks finished up the regular season 10-2 (6-2 SEC).

2. Oklahoma

Preseason No. 1. They had it all. They had the Heisman candidate QB. They had the receivers. They had the defense. And they had the experience. But Tommy Tuberville led his Red Raiders to a victory that wasn’t as close as the scoreboard said. Oklahoma later let RG3 throw for 479 and run for another 72. Add injuries to the list and Bedlam looks scary to the Sooners, who finished the year 9-2 (6-2 Big 12).

1. The BCS

Just look at what has happened again. We’re at the end of the season and we’re talking playoff format. Alabama, OSU, Stanford, Virginia Tech and Houston are all right there knock knock knocking on the Superdome’s door. Who’s going to get the invite and who will file a formal complaint? Again, what a season. Who would have predicted it? Not a single one. OK, maybe the BCS.
