HOT: Duke Hoops

The No. 6 Blue Devils nabbed a very Kentucky-like three five-star recruits, including Justice Winslow (above), in six days. Do we start calling him Coach Kal?

HOT: Brady-Manning

The true measure of greatness is not Super Bowls or MVP awards, it's the ability to live up to the hype.

HOT: Northern Illinois

The 11--0 Huskies rose to 14 in the rankings, assuring a BCS bid if they win out. They're certain they'll lose by less than 21 this time.

NOT: Derrick Rose

He tore the miniscus in his right knee. If all goes well, he could heal in time to shoot jumpers before the 2015 All-Star Game.

NOT: Will Muschamp

His Gators have lost six straight, including their first defeat to an FCS school, which could lead to an ecological rarity: turning the Swamp into a desert.
