No "real" college football this weekend, so I hope you like college basketball. There are a lot of great college basketball games, so even if you don't like it, now's the time to make it an acquired taste. At least Sunday we get the Cowboys against the Giants. Cowboys lose that game, they ain't going to the playoffs. Make it happen, Giants.
