Ohio State? USC? Florida? The answer might surprise you. After Auburn finished the season undefeated (for the second time since 2000) and won the BCS National Championship, many asked where this team stands amongst the best of the past 10 years. Auburn’s conference, the SEC, has been consistently hailed as the best in D-1, yet they don’t have any schools among the top five with the best winning percentages since 2000. Of the top 25 programs of the last 11 years, five are from the ACC, four are from the Big 10, four are from the Big 12 and four are from the SEC, according to ESPN.com. So who ARE the top college football programs from 2000-2010? Check out the chart after the jump!

We asked our Twitter following whic… Click to read more

One of my favorite baseball memories growing up was the McGwire vs Sosa homerun race in 1998. Sure, in retrospect the race was a sham because we were all blind to the steroids epidemic of the 1990′s and 2000′s. But at the time America was totally immersed with these two guys hitting bombs at an incredible pace. Now there is another monstrous stud… Click to read more

Oh, October. A sweet, sweet month highlighted by the NFL and NCAAFB seasons in full swing, the NBA and NHL seasons getting underway and, of course, the MLB playoffs. The crux of the American sports universe lives here and it’s a wonderful thing. The race to the Fall Classic begins today and what else for a quasi-journalist to do other than make predictions that are bound to be wrong…

The Arizona Cardinals are going to enter the 2008 NFL season with the ancient former grocery-bagger Kurt Warner as their starting quarterback, despite having the talented and expensive former first round pick Matt Leinart chilling on the pine.
Leinart started the first five games of 2007 before suffering a fractured collarbone against the St. Louis Rams… Click to read more

Major League Baseball Commissioner Bug Selig has cracked the whip on amateur baseball teams across the country for infringing on MLB’s trademarked team names.
