This is it, everyone. This is the last year of college football shooting itself in the foot with a shi**y, underwhelming BCS national title game. Come next season, the sport will institute a playoff, and with that, a whole new era of college football shall begin. With better games! And even crazier fans! And more embarrassing losses by Notre Dame! And even more obscene amounts of TV cash that will only used to pad coaching salaries and build shiny new practice facilities that have &lory h*les in every study carrel! It'll be a giant leap forward in the crass commercial exploitation of emotionally vulnerable athletes. I couldn't be more excited.
But that also means we've come to the end of college football's provincial era....weird rivalry trophies, coaches voting for the best team, everyone turning a blind eye to boosters in cowboy hats paying Johnny Football six g's under the table, Steve Spurrier walking around shirtless, etc. The massive influx of television money has wiped out the charming, old-school corruption of CFB and replaced it with a more modern, soulless, corporate suit-wearing kind of corruption. And that makes me sad.
Kind of.
Not really. Everyone in this sport is a fu!!ing scumbag.
Anyway, to commemorate the end of the BCS era, this year's Hater's Guide to the Top 25 will take you on a tour of the single most hateable thing about each of the schools/teams/states ranked herein. Because at such an exciting point in the sport's history it helps to remind you that, even as we segue into the playoff era of college football, it is HATE and BLIND IGNORANCE that will always be the common thread, the one part of the sport that shall remain forever unchanged

Wow even trashing Northwestern LOL. Well I guess it is in Chicago....
Trust methe play off system will be nearly as bad as O care
The writer is evidently bereft of certain vocabulary.
equal opportunity hater, at least
I laughed too. I really do have a sick sense of humor.
Not very politically correct. I love it!
I don’t like the guys attitude. But I thought this was funny.
19. Boise State. The turf. It’s blinding. I know people love it as a freakshow novelty, but it literally hurts to look at. You will never turn to a Boise State game without feeling like a dog walked by your TV and licked the CONTRAST buttons. You might as well tattoo the field while you’re at it. IN MY DAY GRASS WAS GREEN DAG NUMMIT.
That Boise State field is a pet peeve of mine. If you want to compete in intercollegiate football, have a green field. It just makes the school look bad by using no class gimmicks.
But he is 180 off the mark regarding:______(Fill in your team here)_______
That field makes Boise State home games unwatchable.

You don’t like the Smurf Turf?
Right on about Lame Kitten.
There was a time when being in such proximity was a good thing, but that's been quite awhile back.
NU is in Evanston, on the Purple Line.
I was just there last month.
I guess I should have said “Chicagoland”
You must admit it’s pretty darn close.
Tho back in the early 80s it was much better.
Hoppin' the El to a Cubs game (or even the Sox southside!) or for dinner downtown or just to wander around was pretty nice and relatively safe.
Well if Mayor Rhambo would have deputized the Million Moms for Gun Control and sent them into the Chicago “hot spots” to clean out all the illegal weapons.....
