What’s the buzz from the world of sports? Here are some items that will have people talking:

Wouldn’t it be nice to settle in this morning for a day of four college football playoff games?
Think about it. Your day could start with Ohio State at TCU, followed by Arkansas at Auburn, Wisconsin at Stanford, and finish with Oklahoma at Oregon (will the Ducks start the game with an onside kickoff?).
With the winners advancing to the national semifinals, interest would be huge.
Instead, we wait four more weeks for Oregon and Auburn to shake off the rust and decide our BCS champion.
But all is not lost.
Today we get BYU v. UTEP, Northern Illinois v. Fresno State, and Ohio v. Troy!

If you want to see today’s titanic tussles in the New Mexico Bowl, the uDrove Humanitarian Bowl, and the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, there’s one place to tune: ESPN.
The cable network will show 32 of the 35 bowl games, including the BCS championship, on its “family of networks.”
Your family can’t afford cable or satellite television in this challenging economy? Your mom thinks TV is evil and sticks you with rabbit ears?
Tough Tostitos.
Fans with old over-the-air TV can see the Hyundai Sun Bowl (11 a.m. Dec. 31, CBS), the Outback Bowl (10 a.m. on New Year’s Day, ABC), and the AT&T Cotton Bowl (5 p.m. Jan. 7, FOX).
The Rose Bowl? The Sugar Bowl? The Orange Bowl? Cable-bound all.
Seems there is something wrong with this picture.
