We here at the 64/60 had the Indiana Hoosiers in our top 25 before the upset of KY. Another example of us getting it right before anyone else did.



* At UFC 140 Saturday night Light Heavy Weight Champion Jon Jones successfully defended his title against former champion Lyoto Machita. Jones choked out "The Dragon" in the final seconds of the second round with a standing guillitine choke and was not in trouble the entire fight. The discussion of Jones being the greatest LH champ is already starting to rumble and is warranted. Jones has looked dominant as a pro. His only loss came via DQ for a illegal 12 to 6 elbow. Jones is also taking all comers and fighting legit competition. In his last three fights he has defeated former champions and has cruised in doing so. He is never in a bad situation and has no holes in his fight game. UFC fans should get set for an Anderson Silva-type run of dominance for Jones and the LH division.



* Tim Tebow continues to win and continues to give ESPN a constant, 12 yr old boy for no reason boner. While doing so the phrase "Tebow Time" has been said about a 1000 times. They are referring to the 4th quarter and primarily while the Broncos are in the 2 minute, hurry up offense. While watching The Dan Patrick Show today a stat was brought up that really highlights the difference in Tebow in the 4th quarter. For the first three quarters Tebow has the 3rd lowest QB rating in the NFL. Somewhere in the Curtis Painter area code. In the 4th quarter Tebow has the 3rd highest QB rating. One point behind the MVP Aaron Rodgers. Ahead of Brady and Brees. Stunning.

4th quarter QB Ratings:
1) E. Manning - 117
2) A. Rodgers - 112
3) T. Tebow - 111
4) T. Brady - 100
5) D. Brees - 99



* My NFL Coach of the Year candidates are Mike McCarthy, The Harbaughs, and John Fox. If one of these 4 do not win, they should stop giving the award out.
