No. 4 Oregon Ducks vs. No. 5 Kansas State Wildcats Jan. 3, 8:30 p.m., ESPN University of Phoenix Stadium (Glendale, Ariz.) Line: Oregon -8 Oregon is metallic uniforms, office hot tubs and, well, Oregon cheerleaders. Kansas State is cheap Cotton Bowl windbreakers, Bible study and a dude in a luchador mask.

In Monday afternoon’s 21-7 Sun Bowl loss to Georgia Tech, the USC Trojans not only put up one of the truly pathetic efforts of the entire bowl season, but also concluded one of the most disappointing years in recent college football history.

As the saying goes… If you can play football, it doesn't matter what you do off the field. We've seen examples of this happen across the college football landscape for years now and on Tuesday we got another one as now-former Auburn defensive back Demetruce McNeal is back on the football field just under 72 hours […]
