Madness

Whether it be the approaching Christmas shopping season, talking of what one lose team should be in the BCS championship game or the fact that college basketball has started there is Madness to be experienced. It is official, Christmas is here. This is known because Starbucks has their festive holiday cups out. Instead of the sleek, basic white they have gone to the bold, outstanding red. What one loss team deserves a chance to go toe-to-toe with the winner of Ohio State & Michigan? The past three weeks have seen formidable opponents drop to one or two losses starting with USC losing, then West Virginia and now Louisville lost to the still undefeated Rutgers. This is truly madness because they talk about it every year. It is probably a good thing they have this computer messing things up, otherwise the experts would be complaining about human votes being the reason a current undefeated Rutgers is being overlooked. The only good madness still lies with college basketball. It will start to heat up as teams begin to play in Holiday tournaments and encounter a rare early season ranked opponent. One good thing to see is that North Carolina is a preseason #2 pick. The Tar Heels should do well with several returning players and a few top recruits to help them push for another national title. Madness will reveal its true self in the weeks and months to come but can only be experienced to the fullest in the month of March.
