THE VEHICULAR METAPHOR EXTENDED PAST BOISE STATE

If Boise State is the "bus," Pat Forde, here's the rest of the top 25 done in a vehicular metaphorical fashion.

 

Oregon: The F-22 Raptor. Death from above at high speed and with an unbelievable rate of fire. Handling is indescribable. Is actually piloted by a highly intelligent and evolved Velociraptor.

Auburn: Tomahawk Motorcycle.  Fast, contains one driver, and no defense in event of emergency.

TCU: Elliot Ness's Ten Ton Flatbed Truck With Reinforced Bumper

Alabama: Jaguar. Will break down once in epic fashion. Luxury the rest of the way, except for that one part that just keeps breaking (Julio Jones' hand.)

Utah: The Porsche Cayenne. Basically an overpriced truck with poor competition.

Wisconsin: Gigantic '74 Cadillac. Driver is drunk.

Oklahoma: Ultralight aircraft. Crash Test Rating NOT APPROVED. Zippy, though.

Ohio State: Toyota Camry. The popular sedan with reliable crash test ratings and zero sex.

Nebraska: 1980 Toyota Pickup truck. Sometimes things fall off of it, but it always runs.

LSU: Burro with a major brain injury. Unstoppable; damaged; terrifying.

Stanford: Airbus A380. Powerful, luxurious. Not too good when it runs into a flock of ducks.

Arizona: Kickass van with moonroof, a few empty beercans rolling on the floor, and coiled rope and handcuffs in the back.

Missouri: An elegant, light, and maneuverable $10,000 road bicycle. When you ride it into a thresher, it and you both die.

Iowa: [SEE ATTACHED PICTURE]

Michigan State: A MiG-29 at an airshow. Soaring, speed, adventure, and then a quick and horrific fiery crash into the ground.

Arkansas: M-1 Abrams Tank. Decent handling, big gun.

South Carolina: Stephen Garcia's Bangbus.

Oklahoma State: Dodge Viper. Impressive horsepower, and no handling whatsoever. Accidents are SPECTACULAR.

Virginia Tech: That thing that carries the space shuttle. Disastrous starting speed, unstoppable steady rolling thereafter.

Mississippi State: Honda Civic. Does what it has to do, man, and all under budget.

Baylor: Kia Rondo. It's good. No, really. We promise. 

NC State: Chrysler Sebring. Reliable, boring transportation.

Florida State: Volkswagen Bug. Last cool in 1999, prone to severe wiring malfunctions.

Nevada: Kickass Grand Wagoneer with lift kit. Only good in certain situations, but in those certain settings is unstoppable.
