Hibs fightback for replay Paul Hanlon pounces late to earn Scottish Cup replay The last time the Edinburgh rivals met in a Scottish Cup replay was in 1933; Hearts won 2-0 on that occasion but Stubbs is confident of a more positive outcome for his side at Easter Road. He told Sky Sports News HQ: The first game was an exciting game. We deserved to get something out of it and this game is going to be another difficult one.Its two teams in good form and we will be cheered on by another 20,000-plus crowd and we hope that we can send most of them away happy.It is only the second time Easter Road will be sold out since its refurbishment in 2010 and Stubbs insists that can work in his sides favour, even if it comes to penalties. He said: Im sure there will be fantastic atmosphere inside the stadium. We are confident we can win but Hearts will feel the same too so its too close to call. Alan Stubbs is relishing the Cup replay against Edinburgh rivals Hearts We practice penalties all the time in training. Its something we have briefly touched on but we hope we can get a victory inside the 90 minutes.They may have had a few more days rest after not playing at the weekend but we are happy to have a busy fixture list and that will be no excuse come Tuesday.I think we are really excited by everything at the moment. We are doing well, we are in the hunt in three competitions and we want to keep it going. We want to be involved in the latter stages of competitions. If it means games are coming thick and fast and we are being successful then we will take that all day long.

The Southern California teams of the mid-2000s were one of the greatest college football dynasties ever seen.Arguably the sports coolest as well.In the 80-year history of The Associated Press college football poll, no team has had a longer uninterrupted run at No. 1 than coach Pete Carrolls Trojans.USC set a record by going 33 straight weeks as No. 1 from 2003-05. The Trojans werent just the best team in college football, they did it with style, thanks to the laid-back Carroll leading charismatic superstars like quarterback Matt Leinart and running back Reggie Bush to victory after victory.In the process, USC pulled off a rare feat: Becoming a college team that captivated Los Angeles, which usually fawns over its professional teams like the NBAs Lakers or MLBs Dodgers.We were kind of the pride and joy of that era and that time period and it was just a lot of fun, Bush said. We played well, we worked our butts off. We earned everything that we accomplished.USCs run at No. 1 ended in the 2006 Rose Bowl, which was also one of the best games of the decade. Texas -- led by coach Mack Brown and quarterback Vince Young -- topped the Trojans 41-38 in a back-and-forth thriller.The decade started with Oklahomas last national title in 2000 and ended with Alabamas undefeated championship run under Nick Saban in 2009. In between was USCs dominance and plenty of controversy, with the college game awkwardly lurching toward what would become the College Football Playoff in 2014.The Bowl Championship Series was created in 1998 with the idea of selecting the top two teams to compete for the national title and it didnt take long for the new system to show its weakness.In 2003, LSU beat Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl to win the BCS title while USC beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl and stayed at No. 1 in the AP poll, providing the sports last split national champion.In 2004, more controversy ensued when USC, Oklahoma, Auburn, Utah and Boise State all went through the regular season undefeated. The BCS national title matchup, which in those days was partially decided by the AP poll, went to USC and Oklahoma while the other three were left out. Auburn finished at No. 3.I dont know if we could have beaten USC, Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said. But I sure wanted to try.After the season, the AP aasked for its poll to be removed from the BCS formula because of the scrutiny on individual voters rankings, which are made public.ddddddddddddStarting in 2005, the BCS would use the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll and Harris poll in its decision-making process.Tuberville said it was obviously frustrating to be left out of the title game in 2004, but he believes the controversy was a much-needed impetus to eventually ending the season with a four-team playoff.I think it opened the eyes of a lot of people that this couldnt happen again, Tuberville said.LSUs success in 2003 and Auburns undefeated run in 2004 was the start of an unprecedented run of dominance for the Southeastern Conference. The league won the last four national titles of the decade, with Florida winning in 2006 and 08, LSU in 07 and Alabama in 09.More schools in the SEC, I think more than other leagues at least, believe theyre going to win the national championship, Tuberville said. And they have the facilities, the mindset and the recruiting to make it happen.BEST PROGRAMSTexas appeared in 99.4 percent of all polls taken.Florida, 92.77 percentOhio State, 91.57 percentBEST RIVALRYThere were a lot of good ones in the 2000s, but none better than the Red River Showdown. The annual Texas-Oklahoma rivalry game in Dallas decided the Big 12 more often than not. Both teams were nationally ranked in nine of the ten meetings. Oklahoma won the first five from 2000-04 but Texas bounced back by winning four of the last five. The Sooners and Longhorns combined to make six BCS title game appearances.MAIN TAKEAWAYCollege footballs march to a playoff system coincides with the rise of the Southeastern Conference in the latter half of the decade. Alabamas Nick Saban solidifies his spot among the all-time great coaches with an undefeated run to a national title in 2009. Though several traditional powers have a good decade, nouveau power such as Virginia Tech, TCU, Oregon and Boise State become contenders.-----AP freelance reporter Mark Ludwiczak in contributed to this story.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .
