Trying to pick college football's national champion after five weeks of play is similar to predicting today the high temperature for a September weekend in Hanover. I can say whatever I'd like, but chances are I'm going to be wrong. But we learned plenty from this past week's college football results, and so I'm feeling confident, despite having my column and prediction next to the mighty Schmidley. Before we dive into my selection for this year's college football national champion, let's list a few givens:
Another college football season, another year of intense unpredictability and confusion in the polls? It's amazing to think, after witnessing the singularity of last year's season relative to past seasons in this respect, that we could be in store for a repeat of 2007, but what's to say it isn't going to happen based on the action so far? Top teams have been falling at a similar rate, and no team is even close to distinguishing themselves enough to be labeled a "sure bet" for the title game. With that said, Ryan and I thought a wild stab at predicting this year's title winner would be fun. Here's my run down:

"Musclebound," a one-man multimedia play, will bring the audience in Collis Common Ground into the not-often-revealed and frightening world of male physical self-improvement. The show is co-sponsored by, among others, College Health Services, Eating Disorder Peer Advisors, Dartmouth Athletics, Chi Gamma Epsilon, Alpha Delta, Psi Upsilon and Chi Heorot. It centers around the lives of three men who all have different body image issues and who all hide their problems from the world around them. Written and performed by Michael Feldman and directed and edited by Adam M. Laupus, the 90-minute performance supplements the three main stories with real-life interviews with men on the subject of their body image as well as television clips from popular culture that shape our feelings about our bodies.
"Choke" is a charming little movie, but appreciating it requires an enthusiastic appetite for sleaze. Here is a film made in the spirit of cheerful depravity, a comedy that manages to cram an endless parade of debauched behavior into a mere 90 minutes of screen time. Sitting through it is like listening to a dirty joke that goes on forever; there's no punch line to speak of, just an endless tirade of filth.
Hanover Town Manager Julia Griffin said she was not concerned about a recent federal civil-rights lawsuit that could expose the town to potential liability in a case involving a 2006 regional SWAT team raid, The Valley News reported last Friday. The incident involved Hanover Police Sgt. Brad Sargent and Master Patrol Officer Richard Paulsen, who were responding to a call for service of an arrest warrant for Michael Rothman in Bristol, N.H. Griffin said it is still unknown if there was any merit to the lawsuit involving accusations of unreasonable search and seizure and excessive force. In addition, both officers were insured for up to $2 million of liability. Two other police officers from the Upper Valley -- one from Enfield and one from Lyme -- are among the 16 facing the lawsuit.
On Sunday, Dartmouth students "judo-chopped" and "pulverized" Cornell, Yalies were "grand theft auto'd" and "rick-rolled" and a Columbia University student suffered the misfortune of being "projectile vomited on." These malicious acts were all carried out virtually on GoCrossCampus' Ivy League Championship, which began earlier this month.
Dartmouth Medical School professor Jay Buckey, along with a team of scientists and researchers, will soon begin clinical trials to test a new computer program that would help treat depression in astronauts on long space flights.
