• Xavier moves up to No. 16 in the Associated Press Top 25 and No. 18 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll. Last week the Muskies were 22nd in both polls.
• Technically non-local but great BCS title game preview stuff from SI.com's Stewart Mandel (Sycamore HS).
• Stewart also writes about (he's been writing a lot lately, duh) how poor Orange Bowl ratings were and how that might impact the future of the BCS.
• Pat Burrell appears to be headed to the Rays, according to our old friend Marc Lancaster. Which is fine, according to what I said last month, because he's a lot like Adam Dunn. Although that was before it started to look like Willy Taveras is going to end up being the big RBI outfielder that we need.
• Rough 24 hours for UK basketball fans: After a heartbreaking loss to archrival Louisville on a 25-footer (great coverage on the Courier Journal's web site, by the way), former Wildcat Antoine Walker gets arrested.
• The Enquirer's Tom Groeschen appears to have the most information about the Aiken-Dayton Dunbar fight that stopped the game at halftime Saturday. Sounds like it was pretty crazy. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't resume it.
• Groeschen also has this about Dante Love, which is very cool.
