Everybody Has One

Sunday Michigan was the last unbeaten team in college basketball and Ohio State made them a one time loser.  All four of the unbeatens going into the week lost.  Duke fell from #1 all the way to 3rd.  Louisville a team that lost to Duke last year (November)assumed the top spot and they survived the being #1 tonight at U Conn.  So former North Edgecombe player Montrezl Harrell a freshman plays on the top team in the land.

N C State moved up to #14 in the AP Poll.  Duke stayed #1 in the RPI and quite frankly with the schedule they have left combined with what they have already played this year they will probably be #1 in RPI all year. N C State  playing #1 Duke Saturday jumped back to #10.  Don't snooze on this team but Miami is 8th in the RPI.  One of the things I like about RPI is it tells you how tough of a schedule you have played and from that Miami has lost only three times all year.

I don't know when the votes for all the major awards in the NFL were done or even if they have been done yet but if they haven't Russell Wilson wrapped up the rookie of the year award.  I do believe however the voting was done after the regular season ended and if that is so RG 3 will win it.  Peyton Manning probably will win the MVP but he sure didn't play like the best against Baltimore.  Denver went way conservative once they got the lead and how in the world do you give up a bomb with 30 seconds to go in the game.

In middle school I was a safety on our team and the first rule of a safety is don't let anybody get behind you.  How in the world do you go for an interception and misplay the ball with 30 seconds to go?  San Fran is a different team now that they have changed quarterbacks.  Right now I'm picking them to win Super Bowl but I wouldn't depend on it.  I was 1-3 this weekend and 3-5 in the NFL playoffs so far.

Funny schedule for high school basketball this week as Rocky Mount travels to Fike Wednesday.  They are then home to Southern Nash Friday.  Plans are right now for me to be at Northern Friday night covering the Fike -Northern girls game for TV.  This is a big week for the Fike girls as they get both Rocky Mount and Northern.  So far Fike girls looking good and this is their chance to upset the apple cart with both RM and NN this week.
