After a weird game and an even weirder season, Florida's victory is going to have to do. Just what 2008 deserved.

Florida is No. 1 in the AP Top 25. Utah is perfect at No. 2, though not perfectly happy.

Test results show former NBA star Charles Barkley was legally drunk when police arrested him Dec. 31 on suspicion of drunken driving in Scottsdale.

A changing of the guard -- and tackles and running backs and receivers -- saw 15 first-timers make The Associated Press 2008 NFL All-Pro team.

Darius Miles cleared waivers and became a free agent. That much was clear Friday.

Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree is expected to announce at a 2 p.m news conference on Tuesday that he will enter the NFL draft, two people close to Crabtree said Friday.

The word "microfracture" may have alarmed Saints fans. But running back Reggie Bush says his recent knee surgery was not as serious as some believe.

And on the seventh day of their search for a head coach, the Denver Broncos huddled.

It only makes sense. The 'Legend' Tim Tebow opens his Florida career and possibly ends it with a jump pass -- the latter during the 24-14 national title victory against Oklahoma. Dennis Dodd says even if Tebow leaves for the NFL, Urban Meyer has himself a dynasty in Gainesville.

Where did the firepower go? How does Oklahoma make it to the red zone three times vs. Florida and come away with zero points? Yep, it was that ugly for the Sooners and Gregg Doyel isn't sure OU could even contend with Utah.

How do you make the playoffs even hotter? Strike a rematch. Or four. The Ravens, Cardinals and Chargers want revenge, but Clark Judge says the big grudge match is a third clash between the Eagles and Giants.

Gary Parrish interrupts you from the Tim Tebow love fest to remind you of college's other media darling, Tyler Hansbrough. He and his Tar Heels are on display this weekend against unbeaten Wake Forest.

Florida is No. 1 in the AP Top 25. Utah is perfect at No. 2, though not perfectly happy. Texas and Southern California also claimed to be the best -- but media voters didn't think so. The Gators received 48 first-place votes and 1,606 points in the poll released early Friday, after they beat Oklahoma 24-14 in the BCS national title game.

If it ain't fixed, don't break it. The cycle of whining and idiocy, that is. Now that the college football season is over and a new champ is, ahem, crowned, Ray Ratto says we'll prove in '09 that we didn't learn a damn thing.

Charles Barkley is taking a leave of absence from the broadcast booth. The announcement by Turner Sports came Friday, hours after police said the former NBA star was legally drunk when police arrested him Dec. 31 on suspicion of drunken driving.

A changing of the guard -- and tackles and running backs and receivers- - saw 15 first-timers make the Associated Press 2008 NFL All-Pro team.
