Hook this: USC is No. 1

By: Sean Quinn

We forget to take out the trash. We forget to pick up the in-laws from the airport. We forget to bring home dinner. These are all reasonable slip-ups, (to men anyhow). Forgetting about USC’s 29-straight wins, though, is something that is not only unreasonable but stupid.

The BCS slipped up like it has for every week of its weak eight-year existence. That was expected. Hearing people agree with the latest ratings, in which Texas was ranked ahead of the two-time defending national champions, wasn’t expected.

by Trevor Freeman

Ahhhhh…..it is finally creeping closer. Midnight Madness. Rivalry Week. March. That’s right…..college basketball season is right around the corner. From Sporting News to Blue Ribbon, college hoops previews are beginning to flood the coffee tables of houses across a nation. The terms “Sleeper” and “Diaper Dandy” have begun to invade the everyday vocabulary as hope always springs eternal at the start of each campaign. This year is particularly big for me as the boys from Fordham University have a legitimate shot at the postseason for the first time in years.

Which conference is the best in the country? Is the ACC #1 or does the honor of being best conference go to the Big Ten? Avery Smith provides a unique insight as to how all of the BCS conferences rank, why Northwestern will pull off the upset on Saturday, and why Reggie McNeal is certainly not a "flop".

With a three-game lead in the series, the White Sox turn to former Houston minor leaguer Freddy Garcia to cap the White Sox first title in over 80 years. Houston area native Brandon Backe, in the biggest game of his life, will try and keep the Astros playing another day.

As if New Orleans natives needed any more setbacks, they probably thought life couldn’t get any worse. It seems the Saints have likely played their last game in New Orleans. Tom Benson isn’t heartless. He isn’t moving the team to spite the people. It’s the reality of business. Benson needs individuals to show up at the game and buy tickets. But the population has decreased, and filling the Superdome seats would be a difficult task. But this franchise had problems before Hurricane Katrina.

A Solution to the BCmesS

It is very simple. If you are a true college football fan, you don’t like something about the BCS. Seemingly every year we have some controversy. The time for all this GARBAGE to end is NOW!

A little shakeup at the top as the NFC shows they aren’t the JV conference everyone made them out to be. Meanwhile, former AFC darlings Cincinnati drop in the rankings due to poor showing in “statement” game. Here are you power rankings for week 7.

Sox in seven

To all who say this year’s World Series will be anything but “worth watching,” go watch football and leave me alone to watch what will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most even-matched Series in recent memory.
