I saw it mentioned somewhere, but it isn't getting nearly enough play.  After the third quarter last week against Indiana, Rick Stanzi leads the nation in interceptions. That's bad.  Fortunately, he also leads the nation in victories.  That's good. That these two pieces of data exist together both puzzles and amuses me. To illustrate, I have created a helpful graph.

Alabama looks legit - I think most people agree on that.

What has South Florida shown people to make them think they are a top 10 team?  I don't get it.

Most of the list is very speculative and "power-poll-y"

I know, I know, there are so many football demises to choose from, it's impossible to narrow it down to five - well - I'll keep the list recent -  so as to impart my personal feeling on the hilarity of the demise.  These are ranked primarily by how much I laughed during and/or after the the game.
