College Football This Weekend

With Ohio State not having to play a championship game this weekend, I figured I would help them and their fans out with what to watch this weekend (all times Eastern):

ACC Championship Game:
(6) Va. Tech vs. (11) Boston College 1pm on ABC

SEC Championship Game:

(14) Tennessee vs. (7) LSU 4pm on CBS

Big 12 Championship Game:

(9) Oklahoma vs. (1) Missouri 8pm on ABC

I know that we have discussed the complete mess the BCS is and how incredibly backwards it is that a team like Ohio State can waltz into the National Championship game without having to first win a conference championship game and loosing to an unranked team. I will never seriously consider the argument that the Big Ten is the best college football conference until they institute a championship game.

I realize that we are anointing Ohio State contenders in that game when Missouri obviously still has the upper hand. However they have to beat a team that has beat them 6 games straight. I hope that Missouri can pull it out and West Virginia can handle Pittsburgh so that we can be enthralled with the slobbernocker that is Missouri vs. West Virginia. Talk about a ratings grabber.

lso, I am not a huge college basketball fan. I will watch if it is on HD but other than that, I will tune in come March. However, http://www.thebutlerduo.blogspot.com/ is very good about covering basketball. Head over there if you want your dose of college basketball action.

The man pictured to your left is none other then Auburn Cornerback David Irons. He is done playing for the football powerhouse Auburn University and is trying to impress NFL GMs and head coaches at the NFL Combine. Part of the process is taking the Wonderlic Test and according to Wikipedia,

The Wonderlic is a twelve-minute, fifty-question exam to assess aptitude for learning a job and adapting to solve problems for employees in a wide range of occupations.

Each year it seems that one or two players gain notoriety by performing so badly the media can't help but talk about it. This year that honor goes to David Irons who scored an impressive 4 on the test. The lowest score ever was a 3, so David at least is in the Top 95%. It looks like David will not be adapting very well any time soon.

If you are interested in seeing if you are smarter then David Irons you can Go Here for a sample of the Wonderlic Test. Thanks to Deadspin for the link.

Update: I just completed the sample Wonderlic test and scored an impressive 8 which is equivalent to a 44 on the real test. I am the smartest man in the World!
