BCS Standings – No Upsets Mean Hardly Any Change
Week 10 of the 2013 College Football season did provide one matchup between two top 10 teams and two more games between ranked teams that aren’t going to be in the championship game picture by the end of the year, which means that the next edition of the BCS standings won’t feature any substantial change.

College Football – BCS Standing Not Really Shaken Up
The losses of ranked and undefeated teams like Missouri and Texas Tech didn’t really change the national championship picture and don’t create too much of a shake up in the higher regions of the BCS standings, as the usual suspects to go all the way – Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and Ohio State didn’t really run into formidable opposition.

BCS Standings – Weekend Of Upsets and Fallen Ranked Teams
In one of the craziest weekend of college football we’ve had in a long time, nine teams in the top 25 lost, including four undefeated teams in Clemson, Louisville, Houston and UCLA, leaving us with only Florida State, Miami, Texas Tech, Baylor, Ohio State, Northern Illinois, Fresno State, Oregon, Missouri and Alabama without a loss this season in what should give the first BCS standings a proper shakeup.

College Football – Close Calls Will Affect First BCS Standings
Only one undefeated team, Washington, lost this weekend, but no championship heavyweights lost. However, the struggles Ohio State, Stanford and Georgia had in week 6 mean that the first release of the BCS Standings will be affected by these close calls, while Alabama, Oregon and Clemson continued to cruise, leading a group of 17 undefeated teams.

2013 College Football Season – Ranked Teams Losing & Upsets Already Begin
The beginning of the College Football season brought with it (so far) losses of three ranked teams, as Georgia (losing to Clemson) and TCU (losing to LSU) weren’t really subject to an upset due to the quality of their rivals, but Boise State being destroyed by Washington was more than a slightly surprising result, and so was Oregon State losing to Eastern Washington.

NCAA Tournament – Louisville & Michigan Complete Final Four Picture
The 2013 Final Four was set up after the second day of the Elite Eight weekend, as the only number one seed left in the tournament, Louisville, used the Kevin Ware injury to push them way too far and high for Duke to catch up, while Michigan showed Florida that not having any sort of offensive initiative isn’t the way to succeed against them, winning by way more than anyone expected.

NCAA Tournament – Syracuse & Wichita State Make it Into the Final Four
The first half of the Elite Eight weekend began with one very surprising result, as Wichita State didn’t just play better defense than the Buckeyes from Ohio State, but actually beat them to make their first final four in nearly 50 years. In the Big Easy derby between Syracuse and Marquette we saw a basketball game that showed a lot of the problems of the sport, while the Orange were the main benefactors of the ugliness.

Watching number one seeds fall and witnessing Cinderella stories are part of the magic in every NCAA tournament. We’re running out of number one teams, as Louisville remain the only one standing after Kansas were beating by Michigan. On the other end of that spectrum, the magical run of Florida Gulf Coast is over, losing to Florida and leaving pretty much only big boys left in the dance.

NCAA Tournament – Two Cinderellas in the Sweet Sixteen
We do have plenty of favorites, including Indiana and Kansas, not having too many problems in advancing to the Sweet Sixteen, but some favorites have fallen along the way, as Florida Gulf Coast continue their incredible run by knocking off San Diego State, while La Salle left out the SEC champions, Ole Miss, out of the competition as well, making everyone remember they used to be one of the best teams in the nation 60 years ago.
