The end of the 2011 college football season. In many ways, it has been anticlimactic. The season was often overshadowed by scandal and misconduct from seasons past, as well as discussion over additional conference realignment and revamping the national championship in the coming seasons. Regardless, the season finished with a great defensive battle between Alabama and LSU, with the Crimson Tide ultimately dominating the Tigers to be crowned the national champions. As for the insight and analysis provided by Randy and Eric this season, just how accurate were they? Eric 47-28 (62.7%) Regular Season, 24-11 (68.6%) in the Bowl Games for a 71-39 (64.6%) record on the season. Randy 43-32 (57.3%) Regular Season, 23-12 (65.7%) in the Bowl Games for a 66-44 (60.0%) records on the season. Not too bad really! In this final episode, Randy and Eric recap the highs and lows of this past season, review the BCS championship game and close out yet another season of college football.
