At this point, I think only Cinci and Utah are going to be playing in 'modern' looks (assuming VT's seniors choose once again to wear the throwbacks in Miami) Florida, Alabama, USC, Texas, Penn St, possibly Ohio State (if they make it), and possibly Virginia Tech (if they choose to wear the throwbacks) all have great possibility for some good looks during the BCS. Yep, those new 'desiger' uniforms are really great for recruiting the top notch players in the nation......

I dont believe that Army should wear the camo's when they play Toledo, Holy Cross or Vassar. However, against the supremely superior Navy teams that Army has so graciously lost to the past several years, I see no harm in it. As a matter of fact, compared to some of the Evil Empire's other efforts, Army's uni is downright sleek. Make no mistake, lets hope this is a one time deal - y'know, too much of a good thing There is a long standing tradition with Navy-Army (I know its Army-Navy in the common vernacular, but I am a former squid) to wear one-off uniforms for this game, i.e. the Jolly Roger Helmets.

Oh, and wear gold pants instead of the camo. As far as color vs. color goes, no one has black & white TV's anymore. I say go for it!
