Hey in college basketball we are light years ahead of college football.  Why? Very simple.  Take a look at college football this weekend.  You had Oklahoma State getting upset by Iowa State, you had USC beating Oregon, you had Baylor beating Oklahoma.  These losses end any dream or any possibility for those teams playing for a national title.  Same can be said for Houston, who go undefeated and still no shot.  In college basketball if you lose a game or two it isn’t going to hurt you because come March everyone is equal.  Yes March Madness is light years ahead of what transpires with the BCS in football.  Think about it, in college basketball we have had many shocks already but come March it won’t matter.  We have had Presbyterian beating Cincinnati, Elon beating South Carolina, Coastal Carolina beating LSU, Loyola Marymount and Middle Tennessee over UCLA, Cleveland State over Vanderbilt and it goes on and on.  Yes magical moments for many of these schools but come March the big guys will have a chance again when it really counts.  And that my friends is the difference from college football and college basketball.
