To help get you through this time of year, when there really is not major sport worth watching (save golf), I offer you the SI Top 25.
Florida's got a lot of talent back. Scary.

The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

What's your beef with baseball? It's a major sport eminently worthy of watching.
worth sleeping through...
It's interesting that we have a financial crisis, swine flu and fighting a war but congress will be hearing arguments about how unfair the BCS is on Friday. Nice!
Love talking college football in April. Feeling bad for Mitch Mustain at USC. Played pretty well at Arkansas as a freshman until getting screwed. Transfers and looks to start this year but gets jumped by an early enrolling freshman for 2nd string. Ouch!
Hook'em Horns!
"...there really is not major sport worth watching (save golf)..."
apparently you are unfamiliar with the Swedish Bikini Mud Wrestling League.
Real analysis would have included a player's chances of remaining academically eligible for next season. Ha-ha.
