What we learned on television...

...We learned a number of things. That sometimes ABC has its head up its butt on how it splits its network football coverage. That NBA TV has some of the most crystal clear high def I've seen on satellite. That the money the Yankees are shelling out for players is just criminal. That Florida is playing the best football in the nation. That USC's defense is vulnerable to the run. That Texas is running on fumes. That the Cowboys are, indeed, a much more confident team with QB Tony Romo calling the signals. That Boston College always seems to win big games when Ted Kim isn't watching...

Confessions of a Dallas resident: I must admit. I'm starting to become a Dallas Mavericks fan. As a Massachusetts native, I'm a Celtics fan at heart. Yet I find my eyes drifting to the Mavs' box scores every morning. It's typical for me to latch onto a team just as they start to enter a period of prolonged suckiness.

If I were a Wall Street man, I'd short sell: Utah. I worry that they are not as good as their record or point totals indicate.

I couldn't see this coming two years ago: Struggling Syracuse fires coach Greg Robinson.

Overrated: Utah, Boise State, Georgia

Underrated: East Coast football, Brigham Young, Alabama, N.Y. Jets

Fine Nine: Florida, Texas Tech, Alabama, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, Penn State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State.
