Biggest hoaxes of the college football season ...

*Southern California's long-awaited end to SEC dominance. Forget about a national championship, the Trojans dropped six games and lost to Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl. Quarterback Matt Barkley's Heisman campaign and spot as the top pick in the 2013 NFL Draft were byproducts of this elaborate scheme.
*Arkansas' long-awaited end to Alabama's and LSU's dominance of the SEC West. With Bobby Petrino riding off (and crashing) into the sunset, the aimless Razorbacks, who started the season ranked No. 10 in the Associated Press poll, fell early to Louisiana-Monroe before going on to drop eight games.
*Notre Dame's return to prominence. From Manti Te'o's Heisman campaign to Lennay Kekua to the Irish's vaunted defense to a beatdown in Miami Gardens. Apparently, none of it/them really happened. After all, it isn't real unless Notre Dame tells us it is.

Good stuff from Rick Telander of the Chicago Sun-Times:

Makes you wonder how far Te'o's Heisman campaign would have gone on the truth alone.

Florida's offensive struggles were Charlie weiss's fault.
West Virginia has an elite coach and elite qb. Preseason talk about Brando and holgerson drinking at flora bama and how great a guy and coach he was disappeared when his team crashed back to earth. His qb went from greatest ever to overrated the second he quit playing Baylor.

*For the first time post-Colt McCoy, Texas has figured out its quarterback situation.
*Ellis Johnson is the man to lead Southern Mississippi after Fedora's departure for UNC.

Oklahoma or West Virginia will play for it all. Geno Smith is a real heisman candidate.

Actually, they did finish 3rd in the West, which is only about 1 spot higher than most people picked them. And that was before the Bobby Petrino/Arky meltdown.

True, but who had them winning 11 games?
