Mike Leach on Hot Seat for Not Accepting Extension?

The annual dance of the college football player is underway, better known as the NFL Scouting Combine. It’s the time of year when everyone is a prospect and arbitrary analysis turns into solid numbers. But beware the Mamulas.
SI: Cards Super Bowl Bid is Defense of BCS
The Arizona Cardinals are going to the Super Bowl, and if that isn’t proof enough that college football doesn’t need a playoff, then what is?
