Battle of the Beatables

As the NCAA playoffs approach it is becoming clear that this year's national championship is going to be a free-for-all. There are no teams dominating the competition, there are no superstars that are head and shoulders above the rest, there are no clear favorites.
After four years of Penn State dominance, the Nittany Lions currently sit in 12th place. Above them, the No. 1 position keeps changing hands. So far six teams have earned the honor of the top spot in the 12 weeks of the 2011 season and each of them have at least three losses on their records. Among them are Penn State, Cal, Illinois, Nebraska, UCLA and this week's top dog, USC.
Any one of these teams could claim the title next month. Or they could all be upset by some of the other solid teams in the top 10. Nebraska has a shot along with Stanford, Hawaii, Purdue and Texas. Don't be surprised if any of those teams go all the way.
Frankly, this is a year in which one of the teams ranked in the 10-20 range could make a run and topple the top squads. As a whole the level of play we've seen this year pales in comparison to what we saw a couple of years back when Megan Hodge and Destinee Hooker went head to head in one of the best finals ever.
Hooker and Hodge may have spoiled us. But this year's playoffs will have an element of surprise to them that we haven't seen in years. Hold on to your brackets, folks. It is going to be a bumpy ride.
