Just wanted to catch you up on some random notes/observations columns from around the South today.  Here are a few that kept my attention:

Mark McCarter of The Huntsville Times finds that the Big 12 and the SEC have a lot in common on and off the field.

Tony Barnhart of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that the BCS is creating strange bedfellows in terms of who’ll be pulling for who in the weeks ahead.  And don’t rule out the “Doomsday” scenario for the BCS.

A Big 12 tie-breaker could ultimately decide who Bama/Florida will play in a potential BCS title game, and, therefore the national championship itself.

College football’s decision to put the BCS bowls on ESPN (cable) and not on an over-the-air network starting in 2011 could leave millions of fans out in the cold when it comes to dialing up the season’s biggest games.

Here are five things that SEC fans should be keeping an eye on in the weeks ahead.

The race for bowl games is heating up around the league… and there’s still no telling where most of the SEC’s teams will wind up.  But here are all the possibilities.
