It’s been a solid month for the Associated Press (AP), which last week told the BCS to take its system(?) and stuff it. Essentially, the AP told the BCS to stop using its poll. Bravo. The move doesn’t automatically fix college football, but it’s a start.

The AP scored again this week when it named Annika Sorenstam as the Female Athlete of the Year for the second straight year. Diana Taurasi and Maria Sharapova both had fine years, but nothing approaching the greatness of Sorenstam. Even in an “average” year, Sorenstam was clearly the best the LPGA has to offer. Unlike Vijay’s selection as the European Tour’s player of the year, there’s no controversy here. The AP clearly got it right with Sorenstam.
