Very good time of the year. College Basketball gets under the way this afternoon as the dream of 300 something teams of winning the National Title is alive.
The college basketball landscape will be drastically affected with the monumental conference changes for football. There seems to be more questions to answer in the other sports than football. We need to enjoy this year because after it's over we will never get the old thing back.
Click here for Joe Lunardi's bracketology. Without any games being played, this is all speculation. As the season goes on, it will become more of what would happen if the season ended today.
With the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer, it was really refreshing to see San Diego State reach the final last year. I was kinda socked to see San Diego State and Utah State not get invites to the Pac 12 to prevent Oregon and Washington from scampering to the Big 10 but it didn't materialize.
