Weird Times!
I always struggle to care much about the Super Bowl-- maybe someday if the Lions finally get there I will (a lot). But this was not that year.
With college football wrapped up, too, my attention lazily turns to college basketball. On the men's side, as we approach March Madness there is a real oddity at the top of the rankings: An in-state rivalry at 1 & 2, and the state is not North Carolina (UNC/Duke), Michigan (MSU/UM), or Kentucky (UK/Louisville). Nope, it's Alabama, with Auburn and Alabama at the top!
Maybe it's consolation for not getting a team into the football championship game the past two years, but the SEC seems hot: They hold four of the top five slots, in fact. That's not normal!
