Now that the Christmas festivities are over, it’s now time for the Bowl season that takes place around New Years. Of course, almost every sport you can think of has a playoff. But NCAA Div. I college football does things a little differently. In fact, its playoff system only consist of 4 teams. How they’re selected I have no idea and I think it’s a very stupid system. Because the NCAA Div. I college system has it that a college football team can have an undefeated season but still not be championship eligible. Then there are the bowl games, many of which don’t really mean anything unless it pertains to the Rose Bowl or whatever other bowl game whether it be the Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, or the Sugar Bowl. It’s confusing. Anyway, if my dad had it his way, the Div. I college championship should consist of the top team of each conference in a playoff. And I have to agree on it. Because like the Electoral College, the BCS Bowl Series and Div. I college football championship system doesn’t make any damn sense. Whereas, March Madness certainly does. At any rate, since I did NFL food posts relating to the Super Bowl, so shall I do a treat post pertaining to college sports. But college football being what it is, I won’t limit myself to playoff teams. So for your reading pleasure, I give you an assortment of college sports treats. Most of these will be from Div. I naturally.

27. These Michigan cupcakes surely have the wolverine spirit.
Yet, they always refer to their colors as maize and blue. As if maize is a fancy name for yellow. Yeah, I know it’s ridiculous.
28. These Clemson cookies are surely delectable.
These consist of the C, paw prints, and bones. Yes, I know their mascot’s a tiger but that’s beside the point. Since Pitt beat them this year.

47. If you’re a fan of Oklahoma University, you might take to these cookies sooner.
You may also have to deal with constant references to the musical Oklahoma. But at least these Sooner cookies look delightful.

57. Of course, an Ohio State cake can always do with a few nuts.
Since that’s what buckeyes are, nuts. But these are probably made from icing.
58. A cake shows how one can be quite cavalier with Virginia football.
Since the University of Virginia’s team is the Cavaliers. Though the college was founded by Thomas Jefferson.

The Boilermaker Special is a train engine. And a damn good looking one at that.

Guess this is a fruit platter centerpiece. But it’s a nice carving.
64. At Texas Tech, the burgers are always made specially.
The burgers always have to have 2 T’s it seems. Yet, writing in ketchup is probably harder than it looks.

70. Nobody could ever believe this Florida Gator cake.
