"Dang, that was fast!" This is what I said my first real Varsity play, and now looking back on my time playing what I have always called the greatest sport on earth, it is a fitting description.  My playing days flew by, as I'm sure anyone else who played football in high school can attest. ...

I still have Iowa higher than the committee does in their top 25, and they opted for Oklahoma instead of Notre Dame for a playoff spot, but otherwise my top 6 looks pretty similar to theirs.  I still think they are short-changing North Carolina, at only 14 in their rankings (vs 11 in mine)...
