Don't believe the hype...

Okay...so the latest hype is that Ohio State is the unanimous #1 team in the ESPN/USA Today Poll. Don't buy into it!!! Sadly they have no one on their regular season schedule to prove it, but they're really not that good. The only way this team is winning the national championship is if they're given a bracket as easy as Duke's last year. And even then I think they'd have to slip the refs a few extra bucks. Anyone remember the last basketball championship for the Buckeyes? 1960? Yeah, they just don't matter. Sidenote: I wasn't impressed with Texas yet, but the win over Kansas has helped shape my opinion. They're moving up in my Big 12 rankings, but I still think Kansas is the best in the conference. Let's not forget Texas lost 73-56 to USC. The same USC who lost to Bradley (6-14 record). (yeah yeah, some of you may remind me that Kansas only beat USC by 2 - but at least they did beat USC.)

More importantly, the Gators are back in the top 25 after an impressive win over Arkansas! That game against South Carolina was most disappointing. Unfortunately the Gators only felt like playing for the last 5 minutes of the game, and it was too little too late. A focus on defense made the Florida-Auburn game reminiscent of a Big Ten match-up, and thus was nearly unwatchable. 45-40? No, that wasn't the halftime score. But a win is a win. Gators have a big one at Georgia tonight. GO GATORS!! Also, as much as I think Purdue is overrated...Go Boilermakers. Beat the buckeyes!!!
