NCAA Championship Game Prediction

Louisville and Michigan will battle for the chance to win the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship on Monday night, something both of these programs have not done for over 20 years.

This will be a fun and exciting game featuring Michigan's explosive offense versus Louisville's dominating defense.  Michigan has an explosive offense that does an excellent job of scoring inside and out.  The Wolverines rank first in offensive efficiency and take outstanding care of the ball.  While Louisville ranks first in defensive efficiency and they do a great job of defending the perimeter.  The Cardinals are also able to force turnovers with ease, ranking second in the nation.

This will be an outstanding game featuring the best offensive team versus the best defensive team in the country.  Trey Burke must show why he is the Player of the Year by being able to have a great shooting night, while getting his teammates involved, and do a solid job taking care of the ball if Michigan wants to win.  Louisville will not stop Michigan from scoring, but they do need to slow them down if they want to have a chance at winning.

Trey Burke and company will be to much for the Cardinals too handle, and they will be cutting down the nets at the end of the night.

The College Football Four Team Playoff is Not Enough

Starting in 2014 college football will be using a four team playoff system to determine who will play for the National Championship instead of having computers pick two teams.  Using a playoff system is a step in the right direction for college football but it isn't enough.  College football should use an eight team playoff system, where the six main conferences champions get an automatic bid into the playoffs, and then have two wild card teams that are selected by a committee.  The two wild card teams and the seeding for the playoffs should be chosen based on their record, strength of schedule, and any head to head meetings between the teams.  College football has to reward the teams who win their conference championship games in the big six conference, and having them all make the playoffs is away to emphasize the importance of the championship games.  The playoff system will never satisfy everyone but an eight team playoff is the answer.  There will be less arguing on who deserves to get in if you have the six main conferences get an automatic bid and two other teams selected into the playoffs by a committee.

NCAA Championship Game

Monday April 2nd the Kentucky Wildcats will face the Kansas Jayhawks in the National Championship Game.  This will be their second meeting this year.  They met in mid November at Madison Square Garden and Kentucky was able to bet Kansas 75-65.  I think the National Championship Game will be a much better game, and I think it will come down to the wire.  I think both teams are capable of winning this game, even though many people think Kentucky should easily win because of their talent and athleticism.  I feel Kansas can and will beat Kentucky tomorrow.  Kansas will need to play great defense against Anthony Davis, and they will need Thomas Robinson to have a huge game.  Thomas Robinson will have a huge game against Anthony Davis because he is mad that Anthony Davis won the player of the year award over him, and because he will need to play well if Kansas wants to win.  Kansas will also need to make Kentucky's young players show their inexperience and force them to make mistakes with the ball.  I feel if Kansas can get Anthony Davis in foul trouble, play good defense, and score points in the paint with Thomas Robinson they should be able to beat Kentucky.
