If Mike Freeman is the WORST person in College Football [see this post] then let me introduce you to the Worster and Worsterest persons in College Football.

The WORSTER PERSON title goes to…Kirk Herbstreit. Here’s how out of touch this guy is with the ESPN fan base. On today’s Good Call/Bad Call, Kirk blessed us with his infinite wisdom…

Question 1: This season proves college football needs a playoff system. 77% say Good Call. Kirk’s response…survey says…Bad Call. What the F? He just proved that he sold out to the deep pockets behind the BCS system and is becoming the spokesman for the BCS. I say shame on you ESPN.

Question 2: USC is the nation’s best team right now. 91% say Bad Call. Kirk’s response…survey says…Good Call. His reasoning is that USC is the best team in the country…right now. Huh? Funny that he says that because later in the broadcast he listed his Top 5 as: 1. Missouri, 2. WVU, 3. OSU, 4. Georgia, 5. USC. Kirk, leave the flip-flopping to politicians.

Question 3: Darren McFadden jumped Tim Tebow for the Heisman Trophy. 53% believe Tebow should be the front runner. Kirks response…survey says…Bad call. He rambled about McFadden’s effort against LSU. Hello Kirk, the Heisman encompasses the ENTIRE season. Granted, both players have been very impressive this year, but Tebow has been unstoppable. If he doesn’t win the Heisman, then it’s just as big of a fraud as the BCS proponents.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE

The WORSTEREST PERSON in College Football is….Mike Trangrese, the Big East Commissioner, for agreeing to a deal with the Gator Bowl and Big 12 officials that allows the Gator Bowl to pick a Big 12 team instead of a Big East rep this year. So instead of UCONN playing the likes of BC, VT or Virginia, they will be playing the ACC’s fifth or sixth place team in the Meineke Bowl. Either Texas Tech or Texas will be playing in Jacksonville on New Year’s Day, plus have a rep in the Cotton Bowl to boot. How does this benefit the Big East?

other things that i find interesting…another ESPN poll about if Hawaii deserves a BCS bowl if they go undefeated…the only states to have a majority voting NO were…Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. Hawaii is projected to play LSU in the Sugar Bowl. Are the Bayou Bengal faithful getting worried? Heaven forbid if another SEC powerhouse loses another “home” BCS game to a “lesser” opponent. The Sugar Bowl won’t be so sweet for the Tigers.
