This early in the season. The last few weeks they start talking about a couple of teams as final four teams rather than just contenders.

No problem with their coverage. They probably thought the win over FSU was no biggie. Now an Arizona win on the road will be media worthy.

espn has their favorites. Notre Dame, Kentucky, Yankees-Red Sox, you know the ones. Everyone will have to take a back seat. It's just ridiculous. Their fawning over Penn State was beyond bad.
