I just cannot imagine that Texas would be that indescribably stupid.

No! I hope they don't bail out UK! Make UK pay out the ridiculous buyout when they fire him.

I have no idea where to put this (so mods pls move if appropriate), but this made my day. Jared Jeffries hype will never get old.

Nice to know there are some competitive college sports tonight, however hard they may be to find.

Here is mine from my WAR calculations....not necessarily a traditional 'top 25' but rather my calculations of a team's overall resume in comparison to the minimum number of wins necessary to make the tournament (last year a +1.00 or higher was pretty much a guarantee at the end of the year.  Records against D1 opponents are listed first followed by the team's WAR rating.  Feel free to critique, LCS, since I was hard on your's last week.  :)

Colgate won by 2 

iupui did their thing and lost.   
 

Georgia looks like they are playing a basketball team on the field.   Pat  Mcafee broadcast might be the only thing to keep watching that game for 

[RaceToTheTop 25,622]

One thing I did notice was that mine and LCS's lists had 23 of the 25 top 25 the same even thought hey were meant to measure different things.  The two teams he had in that I did not were Clemson (21st) and Michigan State (23rd);  the two teams I had in that he didn't were San Diego State (14th) and Auburn (22nd).    Both of the teams I had in that he didn't were on his 'considerations list;  Michigan State, which he had in, was on my considerations list while Clemson I had a lot lower (36th overall).

It's a really big game for both teams.  New Mexico needs to break their two game losing streak and Oral Roberts is flying under the radar, but that's a pretty good team.  Only losses so far are road losses to St. Mary's, Utah State, and Houston.  Problem for Oral Roberts is that and New Mexico are there only chances for statement games and that assumes New Mexico keeps playing well.

[RaceToTheTop 25,622]

Conner Vanover is the strangest player in D1.  7'5", on his third team (Cal, Arkansas, Oral Roberts).  Can shoot the three some, hell of a free throw shooter, but not necessarily that good at doing what a 7'5" should be good at (inside game, rebounding).
