A couple weeks ago, I drew comparisons between the Boston College football team and a certain 2008 Senate candidate from Virginia. Well, ESPN.com has done me one better by pairing each of the top BCS Championship contenders with the 2008 Presidential candidate they most resemble. For example:

Ohio State: Hillary Clinton The Buckeyes don't make waves. They go out of their way not to be controversial, including not scheduling anyone this season who could beat them. They hope to bland their way to the nomination.

LSU: Rudy Giuliani The Tigers are strong on defense, and their fans aggressively promote their qualifications. They gloss over their past missteps, hoping everyone focuses on their willingness to take on anybody.

Oregon: John Edwards A good-looking team with an engaging personality, but the Ducks' stance on defensive issues is wanting. Do they have the substance to go all the way?

Oklahoma: Barack Obama Here's a team that looks like BCS material, and it has all the resources in the world. But its potential continues to outweigh its performance. Maybe the next race?

You can read the rest here and, of course, feel free to weigh in with your own comparisons. Personally, I'd like to know who college football's version of Dennis Kucinich is.
