Duke Lost to Florida State 61-66 on Jan 3,2010

On Jan. 3, Florida State lost to Auburn, arguably the worst major-conference team in the country. Two games later, the Seminoles beat No. 1 Duke, arguably the best team in the country.And that just about sums up college basketball over the past 35 years.

Anything can happen and anything does happen. A kid named Ali Farokhmanesh can grace the cover of national magazines and a team straight out of the movies can play in a national championship game.

On the hierarchical scale of one to perfection, we constantly come up short. An unblemished team has become an antiquated notion, a throwback sitting right alongside short shorts and Chuck Taylors in the historical archives. There are currently four teams left with a beautiful goose egg in the right side of the win-loss ledger: Ohio State, Kansas, Syracuse and San Diego State. And when I think of them, I think of Agatha Christie. She of the "And Then There Were None" fame. That's where we will be soon enough. All four will lose. And probably soon.
Nobody's perfect.
