College Football – Too Early Favorites for 2013
Calling the favorites for the 2013 College Football season in January might be a bit early, but it’s not a wild guess or estimate, predicting Oregon and Alabama should be the top 2 in the nation.

Ohio State Buckeyes – Undefeated Doesn’t Mean Champions
Shouldn’t a 12-0 season in the Big Ten mean something? Not when Ohio State are serving bowl bans and eligibility for a conference title ban as well. This isn’t the first time over the last few years that a team will finish the season undefeated but out of reach of BCS glory. This isn’t the first time it’s happened to Urban Meyer as well.

The Kentucky Derby – The 2012 Final Four Version

Jim Boeheim Can’t Beat Big Ten Teams
Jared Sullinger was too much, finishing with 19 point. Syracuse couldn’t keep Ohio State at bay with their zone defense that worked OK in the first half, but allowed 52.4% in the second half. Thad Matta is headed to his second final four with the Buckeyes in six years, while Jim Boeheim, who had a rough year off the court, tries to figure out how this happens against Big Ten teams all the time.
