7. Can they dance?
IPFW is having a great year in mens basketball, so let's see them go dancing. It will be hard with Oakland in league, but this is by far the most realistic chance Dane Fife and company have had.
6. Can I get Michael Bisping a title shot?
Look, Bisping is a solid two wins away from being back at the top of the heap that he is the 'gatekeeper' to. He'll beat Jorge Rivera (lotta good that'll do in the rankings), so then it just depends on who wins the 'Fight Wanderlei Silva' sweepstakes. Chris Leben probably lost his pull to get Wandi by losing to start the year, but now Brian Stann wants in. I say give Stann the old man and then have the winner face Bisping for a title shot. Or, if Chael Sonnen is gonna get screwed out of a shot (see #2), then let's have Stann/Wandi and Bisping/Sonnen in a little playoff for the Anderson Silva/Vitor Belfort winner. If you did this, imagine the ratings for The Ultimate Fighter with Bisping and Sonnen jawing back and forth as coaches.
5. Beat LA....but BEAT the HEAT first.
I am all about the Celtics winning banner 18 this year, but also I could deal with several other teams betting the Lakers in the final too. But alas, they aren't the true evil this year. Someone, anyone, has to eliminate the Heat. If it comes down finally to LeBron vs. Kobe, I may have to (ugh) find myself cheering for the purple and gold.
4. Is He finally done?!
Brett Favre, please go away! Don't come back later in the season for some 2-12 team...just go away.
3. Hey, um....TCU wants a college football playoff
I don't even know who is going to win the National Title in a week or so (my money, if I had any, would be on Oregon), but here we are again with another year where there is more than one undefeated team at the end of the season. Wake up already.
2. Chael Sonnen gets his rematch with Anderson Silva
I have little hope that Vitor Belfort will be the one to out duel The Spider when they meet next month. So my hope is that once Chael Sonnen gets through with his BS suspension, that Dana White and the powers that be in the UFC give him his due second shot. BJ Penn and Gray Maynard got immediate rematches and they didn't dominate a champion like Sonnen did, let alone a champ who is one of the most dominant ever.
1. Coach K breaks Bobby Knight's All-Time Win Record
Lets face it, this is bound to happen and if the start align right and the Blue Devils stay healthy, it could happen before Spring is fully in bloom and with a 5th title for the Duke boys.
