Day: November 13, 2012

College basketball season started this weekend. Most of the top teams have already played their first games, which probably makes this post seem late for some of you, but I don’t think that’s the case at all. With a few exceptions, the first game for most top teams is essentially a glorified exhibition game. The season doesn’t really get going until the Thanksgiving tournaments, and conference play in most leagues doesn’t begin until January.

Now that we’ve reached the halfway point, we can start to look at the NFL “if the playoffs started today…” scenarios and there won’t be 6,000 ties for the wild card spots. The only reason I’m bringing this up is because if the season ended today, the Colts wouldn’t just be a playoff team, they’d be playing the Broncos in a wild card game. It would be Peyton Manning vs. the Colts (and Andrew Luck) in the first round of the playoffs. Who said the NFL gods didn’t have a sense of humor?
