How can you deny an undefeated team? That was the question I was asking on Saturday, but nobody else seemed to care. After Hawaii's thrilling 35-28 come from behind victory over Washington Saturday night I was sure that BCS pundits would be bringing their name up in the top 5. Once again I was reminded that I have no idea how top 25 teams are picked. Supposedly there is some kind of formula that spits out teams and this odd average number next to their name on the top 25 list. I am going to state it once and for all. Hawaii(being the only undefeated team) has just as much right to claim the top spot as any team this year. It kills me that there are SEVEN 2-loss teams above the Hawaii squad. Please spare me the "They didn't play anyone" line that has been spewed out like pee soup from Linda Blair. Ohio State will be playing for the National Championship on January 7th and they played an almost equal cream puff schedule to that of Hawaii. Of course this could all be moot if Hawaii gets creamed by Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, but the Warriors juggernaut hasn't been halted yet. Who wouldn't root for a sqaud whose coach dresses more relaxed than Bill Belichick? I'm waiting for the June Jones selfmade sleeveless Hawaiian shirt in the Sugar Bowl.....This weekend the Arizona Cardinals kept their slim playoff hopes alive. Let me say this folks: The Cards have no business in the playoffs this year. Besides that everyone in the NFC is playing for the right to be annihilated by the Patriots in February this team lacks the discipline and defense to win in January. Trust me I have spent too many seasons following this team only to have my guts ripped out by mid-November. I love the fact that parity has allowed the Desert Dwellers to join the playoff talk. The loss last week to the hapless 49ers alone proves this team can't stomach the big games. I hope to god I am wrong and they make a playoff push with a 10-6 record. We have gone too far to fold it up since our draft position is going to be middle of the pack. Hopefully Kurt Warner can hoist the deep ball one more time and lead a squad to promise land. No I didn't smoke a bong load before I wrote that statement....Can MLB whore itself anymore with this updates on Winter Meetings and blockbuster trades? I could care less who signs were or whos being dangled for a coveted starting pitcher or overweight 3rd baseman. This is the time of year where we are reminded why the 6 months out of season are the worst for a baseball fan. We have only 1 true day of football(not counting mindless Thursday and Saturday sprinkling from here on out)and basketball and hockey highlights that remind me to drink the kool-aid when Xenu tells me to. Come February I will click on my baseball website and start looking at rosters to see what the season holds. No earlier!
