Hey folks, you check the college football rankings? Wait, what's that? Oregon? #1? First time in history? I think so! And to make things even better, they rank in at #2 in the first edition of the BCS standings. Now I know that all that matters is who is ranked there at the end of the season, BUT for now it is still exciting. Here's hoping that they ride the wave of momentum they have through the rest of the season for their first appearance in a title game. Also, further proof that the BCS is all kinds of screwed up, how does #6 Oklahoma rank #1 in the BCS, a full .03 ahead of Oregon and .04 of Boise State? Clearly my pea brain just doesn't understand. The computers always get it "right."
Alright, so I'll get to a real article later on today or tomorrow, so make sure you check back at some point. But in the meantime, in case you want to read what real sports writing looks like when it is done well, here are a few of my favorite articles.
