TAMPA, Fla. — Like many college football bastions, Nebraska’s annual spring intrasquad game had evolved into a hallowed custom, rife with pomp and three-point stance.

The names at the top of our annual State of Southern California Sports rankings don’t tend to change much. (Although, if the few respondents to my request for input a couple of weeks ago are any indication, the gap toward the top is widening, and that shouldn’t be surprising.)
