sports quote of the day
"Kansas didn't blow a 13 point lead to what is now a three-loss Kentucky (as LSU did). Kansas didn't blow a 17-point lead and lose to a currently 5-6 Colorado (as Oklahoma did). Its only loss isn't to a Cal team that has lost four of the past five and dropped out of the rankings. But Oregon's is. The Jayhawks, though, have won them all."
Celtics continue streak 101-86

Dropped Out:
How Sports Editor Travis Robinett Voted:
1. Kansas — If you're surprised by my vote, what were you expecting?
2. Oregon — Oregon vs. Kansas would be an awesome title game.
3. LSU — But if LSU and Kansas win out, that's what we'll see.
No. 8 Boston College
4. Missouri — Don't overlook Kansas State, not on the road. Texas did last year and look what happened.
5. West Virginia — The Orange Bowl, perhaps? A nice season for the Mountaineers.
6. *Oklahoma* — The Sooners really are not any better than Kansas or Missouri. That will show in San Antonio.
7. Georgia — Verne Lundquist on Georgia's mascot: "That dog will bite you!"
8. Arizona State — There's still a shot at the Rose Bowl, if Oregon plays for the title. This week's game vs. USC will be incredible.
9. Virginia Tech — Turned a close game into a blowout. This is the best team in the ACC.
10. Ohio State — Who didn't know that was coming?
