The college football season is nearing its end.  Conference titles are being handed out, bowl game combatants are becoming clear, and emo Senior cheerleaders are beginning to go ‘all out’ five to six nights a week.  This week features The Game as an underachieving Michigan hosts Ohio State, and a tough gear up game for Pitt before they square off against Cincinnati.  Get out your beads and pocket your favorite pint as its getting cold in the stadiums across the nation on gameday.

LeBron James was recently in the news promoting his campaign to retire the #23 in the NBA in honor of the great Michael Jordan. “His Airness,” LeBron and my favorite Movember supporter Don Mattingly aren’t the only great players who have shared the same number. In fact, #23 is (arguably) not even the greatest number in sports, just take a look at these.

#3: Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez, Harmon Killebrew

Babe Ruth is probably the greatest player to ever play the game. Alex Rodriguez wore #3 until he came to the New York Yankees, will in all likelihood end up as the all-time home run leader, and is currently tenth on the all-time home run list.

#8: Cal Ripken Jr., Yogi Bera, Carl Yastrzemski, Joe Morgan, Troy Aikman, Steve Young and Kobe Bryant

Ripken is a two-time MVP, 19 time all-star, two-time gold glover, and first ballot Hall of Famer who played 2,632 games straight. Berra is a 13-time World Series champion, three-time MVP, and 15-time All Star. Yaz is a former MVP, seven-time Gold Glove winner, and 18-time All-Star. Morgan is a back-to-back MVP, two-time World Series Champ, and 10-time All-Star. Quarterbacks Troy Aikman and Steve Young and shooting guard Kobe Bryant also wore #8.

#12- Terry Bradshaw, Tom Brady, Joe Namath

Bradshaw is a four-time Super Bowl champion and former MVP. Brady is three-time Super Bowl Champion, former MVP, and holds the record for most touchdowns in a single season with 50. Namath is a Super Bowl Champion, former two-time AFL MVP, and four-time AFL All-Star with one Pro Bowl selection.

#24: Willie Mays, Rickey Henderson, Manny Ramirez, Ken Griffey Jr.

Mays is also arguably the best player who ever lived, a two-time MVP, World Series champ, 12-time Gold Glover, and 20-time All-Star. Rickey Henderson is the all-time stolen base and runs leader (he also led off more games with a home run than anyone) and a two-time World Series champ, MVP, and ten-time All-Star. Manny is a two-time World Series champion, 12-time All Star, and is currently 15th on the All-Time home run list. Griffey is a former MVP, 13-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glover and is currently fifth on the All-Time home run list with 630.

#34: Walter Payton, Earl Campbell

Payton is the 2nd leading rusher in NFL history with nearly 17,000 yards and fourth all-time in rushing touchdowns. Campbell doesn’t have the career numbers that Payton had because he peaked early and played only nine years but his first three years in the league were as good as anyone’s. He’s also a five-time Pro Bowler and a Hall of Famer. Nolan Ryan also wore #34 and used his old man strength to beat the crap out of Robin Ventura – oh, he also struck out 5,714 batters, threw 7 no-hitters and an astonishing 12 one-hitters.

#42 Jackie Robinson, Mariano Rivera

This number is forever retired in Major League Baseball because it was worn by Jackie Robinson and until Mariano Riviera retires and goes down at the greatest closer of all-time he will run out of the bullpen with “Enter Sandman” blaring wearing #42.

The only thing more awesome than taunting your opponent is getting PWND by said opponent and getting a taste of your own medicine.  Case in point: The Cartwheeling goalie.  They don’t call it the beautiful game for nothing.

Most of the time, when we’re talking about Jersey girls, we’re probably talking about the obnoxious bridge-and-tunnel bimbos that invade our city ever Thursday-Sunday morning. But not this time! No, this time we’re bringing in a whole new breed: hot girls wearing NFL jerseys! OK, so there’s a good chance the the majority of these girls are actually from New Jersey, but we’ll just let that one slide (for now).

As we turn the calendar to November and move the clocks back for Daylight Savings, the cold crisp in the air returns as the cheerleaders begin to think about fun ways to stay warm in the huddle.  With seven unbeaten teams remaining at the top of the rankings, COED previews the tenth week of the season that seems to get better with age.  An epic showdown is slated for late Saturday afternoon in Tuscaloosa, while the Iowa Hawkeyes look to ride their season chock full of fourth quarter comebacks to stay perfect on the season and in the Big Ten.

No. 1 Florida (8-0) vs. Vanderbilt (2-7)

The hits keep on coming for Tim Tebow and the mighty Gators.  Another dominant performance in last week’s grudge match against the hated Georgia Bulldogs and now the team will get to rest up a bit with an easy matchup against the pitiful Commodores.  Even with Brandon Spikes out for the first half after trying to rip a man’s eye out, the D should feast on the feeble squad from Vandy.

No. 2 Texas (8-0) vs UCF (5-3)

The Longhorns stifled the Cowboys of Oklahoma State last week and leapfrogged the Crimson Tide and regained possession of the No. 2 spot in the BCS rankings.  This week they host the UCF Knights in what should be another stepping stone along their path to the national title game.

No. 3 Alabama (8-0) vs. No. 9 LSU (7-1)

Last week was quite different for these two SEC beasts.  Bama was at home resting a week after keeping its title hopes alive by surviving a last second blocked FG in a critical 12-10 win over the Vols, while the Tigers from Louisiana State returned to the field after a bye week and absolutely annihilated Tulane a to build some confidence after their offense was flat against the Gators.  Will this game determine who gets to play Florida in the SEC title game?

No. 4 Iowa (9-0) vs. Northwestern (5-4)

Iowa continued its magical season when Indiana was poised to go up by three touchdowns early in the second half only to have a batted pass go off of four players before landing in the hands of Tyler Sash who returned it for an 86 yard gift wrapped interception return.  They then poured it on in the fourth quarter, outscoring the scrappy Hoosiers 28-0 to reach 9-0 and stay at No. 4 in the BCS standings – their highest ever.  This week they host a decent Northwestern team and should keep the unbeaten streak alive.

No. 5 Cincinnati (8-0) vs. UConn (4-4)

Cincy hops up three spots this week after an effective 28-7 win over the Orange in Syracuse.  This week they face a meandering UConn team who continues to have terrible luck and turmoil after two straight heartbreaking 28-24 defeats, particularly bad last week when Rutgers gave up the go ahead score and then scored back immediately all in the final minute.

No. 6 TCU (8-0) at San Diego State (4-4)

TCU continues to punish the opposition after last week’s 41-0 shellacking of UNLV.  This week they will use the Aztecs as tackling dummies as they gear up for the pseudo MWC title game when they take on Utah the following week.  Expect them to crush, even on the road.

No. 7 Boise State (8-0) vs. Louisiana Tech (3-5)

What more can Boise State do?  They continue their assault trek against the WAC with another big win over San Jose State.  This week they travel across the country to battle another tremendously weak opponent – the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs.

No. 8 Oregon (7-1) at Stanford (5-3)

Look who’s back in the COED Top Ten preview.  The Ducks continue to build a pretty strong postseason resume after destroying the USC Trojans 47-20, while handing them their worst loss since 1997.  This week they must avoid a letdown game after a huge win against a dangerous Stanford team on the road.

No. 10 Georgia Tech (8-1) vs. Wake Forest (4-5)

Georgia Tech sneaks back up into the top ten after their sixth straight victory – a 56-31 win that sounds a lot better than it actually was – over the Commodores in Vanderbilt.  GT trailed 31-28 in the third quarter before Tech decided to pound away at Vandy, scoring four unanswered TDs to close out the big road win.  This week they will face an underrated Wake team who will look to grab a win in Atlanta.
