The Big East and SEC have combined to produce four of the last five NCAA Men's Basketball Champions (Florida ñ 2007 and 2006, UConn - 2004, Syracuse - 2003) and seven of the last 12 national champions (UConn - 1999, Kentucky - 1998 and 1996).

No idea how I missed the Big East/SEC Invitational, maybe because UConn's not in it, but what a great idea. And those numbers there are just sick. Fuck the ACC!

Seriously. Though I wish it was a "challenge" (like the BigTen/ACC Challenge) rather than an "invitational," b/c then all the teams would play according to how they finished last year. It'll be interesting, but the matchups aren't ideal. I'd rather see Georgetown or Louisville vs. Florida, Tennessee or Vanderbilt than the scheduled games - G'town/Bama, LSU/Nova, WVU/Auburn (ugh).

I can think of absolutely no situation in which I would root for Michigan short of someone threatening to physically harm my wife or children! None ... screw the blue!
Go Gators ... send Lloyd Carr home a loser in his last five bowl games.
