[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1387201, member: 10336"] That got me thinking about even the potential for this to happen. A fair number of NFL cities have P5 or mid-major schools either in the city or in the metro area. Having both even be contenders in any given year is challenging for some of these cities, but with others it's actually a surprise it hasn't happened. It's been close several times: 1980 - the Rams lost the Super Bowl to the Steelers, and then UCLA lost to Louisville in the NCAA. 1984 - The 'Skins lost the SB to the Raiders, and Georgetown won the NCAA. 2010 - the Colts and Butler were both runners-up. Metro areas where it [I]could [/I]happen. NFL city - NCAA school(s): Arizona - ASU Atlanta - GaTech Chicago - DePaul, Northwestern, those scrappers from Loyola Cincinnati - Cincinnati, Xavier Detroit - scUM Houston - U of Houston Indy - Butler LA - USC, UCLA Miami - U of Miami New England - Boston College New York - St Johns, Seton Hall Minnesota - Minnesota Philly - Villanova Pittsburgh - Pitt San Francisco - Stanford Seattle - UW Tennessee - Vandy, Belmont Washington - Georgetown [/QUOTE]
