I knew I had Arizona State overrated, I just didn’t realize how badly until I actually watched them struggle with UNLV. Having typed that, I’m sure they’ll now go out and beat Georgia when the time comes.
On deck to move into the poll: Iowa, Boise St. and Virginia Tech.
But what about BYU’s escape from Washington thanks in part to the unsportsmanlike call after the touchdown.
Pittsburgh
It’s hard not to envision the Panthers as a top five team nationally. Overwhelmed by injuries all season, Pittsburgh rolled to an improbable Big East tournament title on the emerging stardom of Sam Young. Unassuming off the court, he was a beast on it and his decision to return to campus should have been greeted with hosannas and hallelujahs. Mix in a healthy Levance Fields, powerful DeJuan Blair and the Panthers’ trademark nasty defense, and you have to give them the slightest of edges to win the league.
Wait, what?
Then again, its not like you made the same mistake last year…
Oh, wait, you did…
