Who's The Best?

The NFL season is not yet 1/3 of the way but there seems to be a division this year of the cream of the crop from the bottom of the ladder.

The New York Giants, maybe the best defense and Eli Manning has become a very adequate quarterback( and I say that knowing he has one of the best lines in football and doesn't have to scramble very much).

Minnesota Vikes. I still am unsure of this team.

New Orleans and Drew Brees have been spectacular so far

The AFC the Colts are undefeated but you have to wonder what will happen if Manning gets hit and plays three weeks hurting.

Denver has impressed me and surely the biggest surprise of the year.

Cincinnati is the only team on this list that has lost and it was on a fluke play at the end of the game.

If I had to pick I would take the Giants and Colts in the Super Bowl or as it would be called the Manning Bowl.

In college Florida, Alabama and Texas seem to be the cream. Southern Cal will be near at the end and if they kill the Fighting Irish this week they will be back in the playoff picture.

If I had to pick today I'm taking Alabama and Texas for the BCS National championship.

October 23rd is the Tarboro-Southwest Edgecombe game. They are clearly the best two teams in this area. If everyone is healthy as of today I'm taking SWE in that one 26-14. A classic game of Power against speed. This game is close enough that speed can win it.

Southern Nash, Hunt and Rocky Mount are tied after the first week of Big East play. Hunt plays Rocky Mount Friday at Rocky Mount. I think the winner of this game takes the conference. I would suspect our #3 team if they win in the first round which is in doubt could draw Hertford County in week two and maybe our last team in may get them in round one. I'm not sure we have anyone in the Big east that will survive past week two of the playoffs.

If that happens just remember the first year of the New-6 all four baseball teams lost in round one. The next three years two eastern Finals as a state title.
