Weekend Sports Roundup

A few quick things on the weekend in sports:
-Barring a USC loss to UCLA next Saturday, Ohio State will face the Trojans in the inaugural BCS Championship Game on January 8 in Glendale, Arizona.
-While the Buckeyes are undefeated and #1 in the football polls, the basketball team could soon be joining them. Ranked #3 last week behind #1 Florida and #2 North Carolina, OSU easily rolled through the week to remain unbeaten, while the Gators and Tarheels both lost games. Unless another team leapfrogs them, the Buckeyes should be #1 going into Wednesday night's showdown at North Carolina, when stud Greg Oden is rumored to be making his on-court debut. They play at Florida next month.
-Mediocrity is the way to go in the NFL of late, as consistent winners are few and far between this season. The NFC continues to be terrible, and is getting dominated in head-to-head games with the AFC. For those who care, Drew Brees is putting up MVP-type numbers for the Saints, Tony Romo is nothing short of sensational since coming off the bench in Dallas, and Joey Harrington has experience a rebirth in South Beach.
-Word on the street is that Michigan State will be hiring former OSU assistant and current Cincinnati Bearcat Head Coach Mark Dantonio to coach their floundering football program. Dantonio left Ohio State one year after their last Natl. Championship and has put together the makings of a good program in the Queen City, but it will be interesting to see how he does on his own in the Big Ten. Michigan State will not be his last stop, though, and you can put money on that one.
