Just two days till Saturday


Phillip Fulmer is fat. I'm just going to come out and say it. He's really fat. Like he just sits down to breakfast and all he has is a giant bowl of bacon. You would assume in the rigors of coaching the finest athletes money can buy that he would get in a sit-up or two, but he's not alone. Charlie Weis seems like he keeps two of the Patriots Super Bowl trophies in his prodigious double gut. These two are making Ralph Friedgen look like Kate Moss. These three have had pockets of success, and "bowl of bacon" Fulmer did win a National Title. They all seem to pull recruits in not with favors, or sorority girls, but purely the gravitational pull of their gigantic frames. If Florida State wants to regain its swagger and begin beating teams better than Duke it could hire Jabba the Hutt.


The collective fortunes of Notre Dame, Michigan, and Florida State may make the average fan gleeful, but it also points toward the realignment of the college sports world. Big time BCS football is becoming much like Major League Baseball. The big money schools like Ohio State, USC, and Florida are the wave of the future. Steve Spurrier can only go so far on the charms of Columbia before you realize Tennessee has a jet and Florida has more money than Warren Buffet. Boise State may shock the world but Florida and Southern Cal will win the titles.

Poll Position will continue it's live coverage of SEC Football and will be in Gainesville for the Florida - Tennessee rumpus as we where for the Georgia - South Carolina skirmish. We're still looking for someone to cover that Mississippi State - Auburn game.
