NCAA College Basketball Top 15, as of 3.7.10

Let’s begin…
So it’s the weekend, and it’s time to release my list of the top college basketball teams.
So here is my list.

My Top Teams

1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. West Virginia
4. Syracuse
5. Ohio State
6. Kansas State
7. Vanderbilt
8. Villanova
9. Duke
10. Pittsburgh
11. Butler
12. Tennessee
13. Gonzaga
14. New Mexico
15. BYU

Top 15

1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. Ohio State
4. West Virginia
5. Syracuse
6. Vanderbilt
7. Purdue
8. Pittsburgh
9. Kansas State
10. Vanderbilt
11. Tennessee
12. New Mexico
13. BYU
14. Gonzaga
15. Butler

So the most notable thing about this week’s list is that Georgetown has fell out of both list. I think they are good and can beat anyone. The problem is they get beat by anyone, so I have to drop them out.

Despite Duke losing I still have them in the middle of the pack. Though they’re not elite this year. They bring their A game every night, and that’s something I can get behind.

I love the way the Tennessee Vols’ play

Thanks for reading, and feel free to comment.

NCAA Tournament Expansion? I think not

Let’s begin…

Oh there’s been so much on my mind as far as sports go, but I guess I’ll have to settle for this: NCAA Tournament Expansion. They want to expand the NCAA Tournament. Now there are 3 types of people that want to expand the tournament.

1. Coaches: So they can try to keep their jobs.
2. The NCAA: They want to make more money
3. The fans that have teams that aren’t that good.

The one thing that all of these people have in common, is that none of them want to help the tournament become better. I think if you change something that is already great. You should only change it to make it even better. The tournament is great like it is. There are 65 teams that get an opportunity to participate, and about 5 of them in any given year have a chance to win a title.

The only reason the tournament will be expanded (and it will be) is for the money. The NCAA is consumed with making as much money as they can while making sure they limit the people that are making the money, from making money (Players Won’t Get Paid).
• That’s why players don’t get paid
• That’s why they’ll expand
• This is why College Football will keep the BCS.

College Basketball Top 15 as of 2.26.10

Let’s begin…

So, now that we’re coming up on the month of March, college basketball is coming into full swing. I will now start releasing my weekly college basketball rankings. I like releasing my rankings at the end of the week, because then I have to ability to reflect, and it kind of takes all the emotion out of posting on Monday.

I wasn’t sure how I exactly wanted to do it. I didn’t know if I should do the top 5, or the top 25. I didn’t know if I should do the best teams, or the teams having the best season. So, I decide to come to a compromise. I will post 2 list of the top 15. One list will be my top 15 teams, and the other will be the top 15. I hope that didn’t confuse you, but I trust you will figure it out.

So here is my list.

My Top Teams

1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. Syracuse
4. Kansas State
5. West Virginia
6. Ohio State
7. Georgetown
8. Pittsburgh
9. Vanderbilt
10. Villanova
11. Duke
12. Purdue
13. Michigan State
14. Butler
15. Gonzaga

Top 15

1. Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. Purdue
4. Syracuse
5. Duke
6. Kansas State
7. Georgetown
8. Ohio State
9. West Virginia
10. Villanova
11. New Mexico
12. Vanderbilt
13. BYU
14. Michigan State
15. Wisconsin

So, there it is. Let me address some obvious differences between my list and the top 15.
I don’t think Duke is a good basketball team. They’re okay, but they’ll be lucky to get to the Sweet 16, and the chance of them making to Elite 8 is virtually impossible. They just don’t have the players to compete with an Elite team. Also Vanderbilt is a sleeper; you should pay very close attention to them.

Thanks for reading, and feel free to comment.

Seattle Seahawks

So the Seattle Seahawks have a new head coach. They hired Pete Carroll of USC. Now you can argue that he is a good or bad hire. I have my own opinion which you may share. I personally don't think it's going to work, and I don't think it will even be close. I view a success as 10 wins a year, and at least contending for the Division playoff title. He won't get that done.
With that being said the process of the hiring lacks integrity. First they fire their coach after what was really the best season they could have expected, given the talent. However, the thing I have a problem with is that circumvented the Rooney Rule, by just interviewing a black coach to abide by the rule, then continuing to do what they wanted to do by hiring Pete Carroll. That lacks integrity, and that's the problem with the NFL. You should be able to hire whoever you want to. And if you're going to make a rule MAKE THEM ABIDE BY IT.

Good Luck Seattle
