This is an open letter to SportingNew's Tom Dienhart in response to his article "Rose Bowl rout leaves no doubt: USC is the nation's best". In fairness, I've provided a link to Mr. Dienhart's article at the bottom of the letter so you can judge for yourself. Dear Tom, In your January 2nd column you posed the following question: "Is there any doubt Southern Cal is the best team in the nation?"

Yep, it's almost over. All the planning, analysis, good selections, disastrous moves, smack, the glorious victories, and the glorious failures. The end of another Fantasy Football season is upon us. Some leagues are determining their champions this week while others are following the riskier path and ending with Week 17. In any case, it's almost done. In fact, for those not fortunate (or skilled

That's right Trojans we love to hate you. Always have. Long before living in Southern California. Long before you won the 1980 Rose Bowl by one-point costing the Buckeyes the National Championship. Maybe not quite as much as Michigan, but almost, and in a different way. When Michigan RB Mike Hart shoots off his mouth, it may be irritating, but you can excuse it to some degree because of his

Yesterday I asked you to send me you thoughts on the BCS Championship Game situation. I should have expected the two things that resulted. First, fans of the four teams cited strongly believed that their team would be in the top two. Second, neutral fans (fans who didn't identify themselves a being for or against a particular team) lined up as follows. Most believe West Virginia is in and

The teams who will meet in the BCS Championship game will be known by Sunday night. Only four teams have a realistic shot at going to the dance. We all know the scenarios (for our University of Michigan readers that means "things that have to happen") for the Buckeyes, Mountaineers, Tigers or Dawgs to get into the game. I want to know who you think will meet in New Orleans and who the ultimate
