This deep into the season, I’m reluctant to slot one team over another if there is a two-loss difference in record (5-2 over 7-0, for instance). But when there’s a one-loss difference and a marked disparity in SOS/quality wins, I have no problem slotting, say, 6-1 over 7-0.

#12 - Michigan (5-2)
#13 - TCU (7-0)


#17 - Texas A&M (5-2)
#18 - Oklahoma State (7-0)


*Disclaimer: As noted by other posters, this is a completely meaningless poll. Just goes to show you either: (i) how little these pollsters pay attention; or (ii) what lengths they are willing to go to get some press.

I recently searched for a resort in the Caribbean and used Hotwire. They were the lowest price by far, but it only works if you do flight and hotel. If you just do hotel, Hotwire won't let you see the name of the hotel you are booking (I think priceline is also like this).

I doubt Hotwire is the best for all resorts, but they definitely were for this particular one. I also searched: Expedia, hotels.com, cheapcaribbean, bookit, etc. I would recommend doing the same and then going with the cheapest.

I use PenFed for gas (5%) and CapOne for everything else (1.5%).

Must we go back to 1982 to find such dominance?

27-3 in 2003
27-0 in 1997

We do exist but there aren't that many that are huge fans (ie. watch as many games as possible). I would say that's mainly because it's pretty difficult to watch a game up here since the NBA gives us so few national games and DirecTV doesn't carry CST.

Ridiculous. I have Sunday Ticket so it doesn't matter but I thought all these issues were worked out after the Super Bowl. I just moved back to Shreveport and this is extremely lame.

This should have no effect on your credit.

Obviously I have a limited amount of knowledge on the entire situation, but I assume that once I dispute the charge it will be revoked and the company will then turn me over to a collection agency that will try and "convince" me to pay my debts. I couldn't care less about a few phone calls here and there, but I assume there is some mechanism by which my credit is affected by these debts being handed over to an agency.

Long story short, a company has charged me a relatively small amount [$75] that I feel is in error. Basically I think the the company is trying to take advantage of me and is over-charging me despite a very clear agreement on what the charge was meant to be [we were so clear in fact that I believe the manager at this point is just lying to me]. I have attempted to contact the company owner and they stand firm in their stance and I stand firm in mine. Is it worth going through the hassle of disputing the charge with my bank [and the possible collection dispute afterward] or should I just swallow the pride and pay the amount?

For those that don't wish to read the whole thing - is $75 worth it?

$42 million on 6 players [assuming we get Belinelli]

We have starting 1 [and backup], start/backup 2, starting 3 [and backup], no 4, and starting 5.

Most teams spent around $65 million last year, so assuming things stay the same [which they won't], we have $20-25 million to spend on a backup 2, keep Dwest or Landry [and sign a backup] and get a backup center - plus a few more "bodies."
