Of course, that won't happen. But it should. They're ranked #10. I don't care who you are--if you are undefeated after mid-January. You deserve to be #1 until you lose. Besides, it's not NCAAF--your rank doesn't screw someone else out of the postseason.
Semi-related note: Baylor's loss wasn't bad. Mizzou actually has a better record than they do.
Syracuse Loses
The priests on the ND campus stopped corrupting little boys long enough to pray for their men's basketball team.
Speaking of Little Boys
Joe Paterno is sick. Well we all agree there. The family is on record as officially wanting to cover up the developments of the story. Must be a family tradition.
Seminole When?
Yea, their men are as underrated in basketball as they were overrated in football. Here are Florida State's last three games.
01/21/12 - Knock off Duke @ Cameron
01/17/12 - Easily handle Maryland by 14
01/14/12 - Destroy North Carolina by 33 points!!
Watch out, would-be March opponents. FSU is a bad draw this year.
NFL Playoffs
Does anyone like any of the teams that are left? A lifelong Browns fan who pulls for the Bears or Pack when watching the NFC, I find myself still somehow rooting for the Ravens and 49ers today. There really isn't a likeable team left in the playoffs. Personally, I like it. It allows for a purist football fan experience. Just watching football (and drinking beer, of course).
Mardi Gras
30 days until the annual Entitlement Fest. LSU and Saints fans unite to lament about why they are overweight and how country owed them football championships. "Our spirit is strong." No, Louisianans, your arteries are strong--you are on borrowed time already. Is Louisianan the correct denonym? I made it up. It's free. I know you like free stuff.
JoePa wants privacy, hilarious
Joe Paterno's family "continue[s] to ask for your prayers and privacy during this time." On behalf of the families of the victims of the Penn State rapes, Rinky Dink Records would like to offer JoePa's family a hearty GFY!
