In basketball Butler lost this weekend. I think they were ranked #14. So I'm sure they should drop. But I still think that right now they should be #1. It's not like Indiana State is a bad team.

I'm talking about the big  time I-A division with USC, Ohio State and the rest. College basketball is my favorite sport mainly for the exciting 65 team bracket at the end to decide the title.
