SUPER BOWL 2012

Here's my Top 25 this week. Out goes West Virginia, Kansas State, Dayton and Wichita State. Welcome back Louisville, Wisconsin, Vanderbilt and Harvard. The Crimson sure looked impressive in destroying Yale in a much-anticipated Ivy match-up Friday night.

One small thing I'd like to mention: I'm a little tired of hearing analysts say teams like Murray State and Creighton have a "ceiling" of, say, the Sweet 16. Didn't they learn anything last year from VCU and Butler (and even UConn, a traditional power), who all made the Final Four?

To say a team like Murray State has no chance of reaching New Orleans is just plain silly. Slim chance, sure, but hardly impossible.
