WRITER Talk about statistical oddities. The wild-card round of the NR. playoffs this weekend has all four road teams as favorites. That's about the same number of road favorites there have been in playoff games this. decade. The odds reflect what a strange season it's been. There are wild-card teams clearly better than the winners of weak divisiooS, and even non-playoff teams in that category: New England is only the second ll-5 ·team to miss the postseason. That's because of the odd way the divisions broke down this season. 1be NFC East and NFC South, for example, didn't have a team finish under .500; the AFC West wa5 won at 8-8; and the NFC West by ·an Arizona team that was 6-0 inside the division, but 3-7 outside it. ColTS AT CHARGERS APpholo West Virginia quarterback Pat White (5) giws a thumbs up to fans alter .their 31·30 win over North Carolina in the Meineke Car Care Bowl NCAA college football game in Charlotte, N.C .. last Saturday. · West Virginia faces a.big climb without QB Pat White CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) Bill Stewart pushed aside criticism of his hiring. tweaked West Virginia's long-successful spread offense and fell Jar short of expectations in his debut season as head coach. The Mountaineers, spoiled· by · Bowl Championship Series success m quarterback Pat White's first three seasons, stumbled in his injuryplague~! senior year. Ranked No. 8 in the preseason, West Virginia lost two early road games, handed Cincinnati the Big East's BCS berth, then beat North Carolina 31-30 in the Meineke Bowl last Saturday to finish 9-4. Three of West Virginia's losses came by a combined to points and two of them were in overtime. Then again, close wins over Rutgers, Syracuse,. South Florida and North Carolina could have easily gone the other way. "F~fty p~rcent of the people m this · state want to hang me , and 50 percent want me to be goyernor some day," Stewart said. "For us· to have the same league record, 5-2, that we ~ad last year, I'm OK with it. Am I thrilled? No." A year after then-interim coach Stewart was carried off the field after a Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma and was named Rich Rodriguez's replacement hours later, the good times could be over. Stewart has some work to do· to restore the Mountaineers as one of the nation's top . football programs. · Without White, who holds 15 school, Big East and national records, the Trade fromPageBl Indians manager Eric Wedge described DeRosa as "a tou·~h out" and "very solid ptckup." He . expects DeRosa to bat second in Cleveland's lineup. Wedge will use DeRosa in the out· field to rest players and as Protection against left-handers. · The only other everyday third baseman . on Cleveland's roster is Andy Marte. He batted Only .221 in 80 games and had to hit .29Iover his final 34 games to .finl.sh ·w1·... u• . a respectable average. Marte is out of options. Peralta, who has limited range , has been playing third base during winter ball in the Dominican Republic.
