Today is an interesting day for fans of NCAA football. For most teams, such as my Virginia Tech Hokies, the regular season is over. The larger Division 1 Bowl Subdivision conferences are putting on their championship games sometime today. There are still some regular season games being played in some smaller conferences which don't have a championship game, and even a few makeup games, which had been postponed due to the hurricane that hit Florida earlier this year. Meanwhile, the Hokies and their fans get to take a breather until the bowl game, whichever bowl that night be.
