The college football season is close (we promise). Among the sports websites that can hardly contain themselves is CBSSports.com.
The writers there tried to pick the best team in each state in Division I.
The criteria wasn't so much projection for this season as it was "head-to-head wins and other recent accomplishments."
There are some compelling arguments across the country, especially in places like Florida, Tennessee and Texas. With apologies to the Mid-American Conference directional schools, this debate for this state comes down to two teams: Michigan and Michigan State.
Considering one team is 8-2 in its last 10 against the other, and that same team has won the Big Ten three times since 2010, the choice is simple.
