Following The World of Sports.

Something that I follow in the world of sports is the BCS rankings of the college football teams. It is always a good feeling to know where your team is ranked and watching the rankings change based on who wins and who loses is fun, unless it's your team that goes down. I started to be interested in this because it's a matter of pride in your team and being able to say, "My team is in the top 10," or "My team is number one." However, it's also upsetting when you see your team should have moved up at least one spot but instead they are in the same spot as the week before. I think the way that the teams are, for the most part, ranked fair and accordingly.

The way I like to follow the rankings is by watching different teams play (aside from Florida State) and seeing the turnout. We follow the games with ranked teams and see who they are up against. For example, this past week, we watched the Florida game when they played the Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns. The whole time watching the game my friends and I were rooting for Lafayette so the Gators would go down and by a lot because of a loss to an unranked team. Throughout the game, Lafayette was doing great and almost beat the Gators but last second they got a touchdown and won the game. I feel like their luck was the only thing that kept them in the #6 spot.Then there's the case of the biggest upset this past weekend: Alabama vs. Texas A&M. Even though #1 Alabama lost to #15 Texas A&M, they only went down 3 spots because Texas A&M was in the top 20. It's upsetting that the margin wasn't large enough to push Florida State up one spot, but at least they're still in the top 10. Overall, watching the rankings change is fun thing to do because it gives you a reason to pay attention to the games.
