College Football : Ohio State #1?

The coaches pre-season poll is out – and after all the chopping and changing during the off-season they’ve given the nod to the Ohio State Buckeyes with 28 first place votes.

Defending champions Texas are #2, with Notre Dame, USC and Oklahoma rounding out the top five choices.

Further back are Auburn, West Virginia, Florida, LSU and Florida State compete the top 10.

We say :

The coaches can say what they like – I still expect USC to get to the BCS Championship game again this season – so any poll that has them outside the top two teams is missing the point in my book. 🙂

Baseball : LA Dodgers extend streak to 10 games

The Los Angeles Dodgers extended their winning streak to 10 games with a 7-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

The Dodgers’ winning streak, which is five games shy of the franchise record set way back in 1924, has co-incided with a run where they have conceded just one error in those games.

Los Angeles are now over .500 at 57-55 and are just a game and a half back behind the slumping San Diego Padres in the NL West Standings
