Statement made. Whether that statement is that Louisville deserves a place on the Michigan-Ohio State side of the velvet rope or that West Virginia was as serious a contender as Dennis Kucinich will likely be the subject of debate for the next two months. I've sided all season with the former argument, owing to the Cards' offensive balance, unappreciated defense, and resilience despite key losses. And, if college football's Greyhound bus of spoke-too-soon plot crooks arrives on time, I'll be proven wrong by Thursday!
Meanwhile, I was this close [holding fingers one Joe Paterno life expectancy apart] to spending this post sucking off Ohio State for its unheralded dominance this season right when the Bucks Zooked the bed in their second half against Illinois, our nation's 91st-ranked team. Of course, it was around this time last year that ESPN and Co. treated their congenital overproduction of man yogurt by spewing it all over Southern Cal in the network's 84-part series detailing why the Trojans were history's No. 1 anything before Pete Carroll even got a chance to lose the championship game. Now, I know Columbus doesn't even rank among the top one of all U.S. cities in celebrity cocaine busts, but certainly this distant L.A. ex-urb is at least deserving of a non-speaking role on Grey's Anatomy…
