My Top 5 Opinions on the Last Week of Sports

This is going to be an opinion piece that is going to come out every Monday. All it's going to be is five opinions on the last week of sports. It'll be on some of the biggest topics on sports and on local teams that I know more about.

1. If the Bills don't hire a big name coach like Mike Shanahan, I and rest of Buffalo will be very disappointed. The Bills are not good and they need major changes. In order to excite everyone and make people believe you're trying to change, you have to make a splash. The perfect move to make a splash is to sign a big name coach. So Ralph Wilson, HIRE Mike Shanahan.

2. Syracuse is the top team in college basketball right now. Yes, you heard right. Syracuse is the top team in college basketball right now. They have beaten North Carolina and California on neutral courts. When they play mid majors, they don't squeak by; they dominate them. Syracuse is a team that is on a mission. They have proved more early in the season than any other team. They deserve to be #1 in the country in the polls.

3. Notre Dame should be ashamed of itself for not going to a bowl. It shows cowardliness and arrogance on part of the team. They don't want to practice and it is easier for them to not play in a bowl. They believe that their better than what they'd be slotted for. That is selfish and and awful. Normally small bowl games could use Notre Dame to sell tickets and get attendance and make opponents excited for the game. Notre Dame is taking the easy way. And that's disappointing not only to me but also to the rest of their fans.

4. The BCS blew it again. By pitting Texas vs. Alabama, we have the traditional national championship. Not the game the fans wanted. Everyone wanted Nebraska to beat Texas so we could get an Alabama-TCU National Championship. And if it wasn't enough that three unbeaten teams were left out of the game, the BCS match-ups are even worse. TCU gets to take on Boise State. It should be a great game but it doesn't prove anything for either team. It's a no win situation for either team. And Georgia Tech play Iowa; Will anyone even watch that game? The BCS needs a playoff system. It would've worked perfectly this year. Everyone knows the top eight teams and their would be no controversy on who plays who.

5. Ohio takes on Marshall in the Little Caesars Bowl on December 26 in Detroit, Michigan. The game will be live on ESPN at 1pm. I like the matchup and the date of the game. Some people wish Ohio could play a big school, but i don't really care. Ohio has a winnable bowl game and if they win, they get to the 10 win plateau. I see it as a no-lose situation.
