This is an article version of the CBS Sports HQ AM Newsletter, the ultimate guide to every day in sports. You can sign up to get it in your inbox every weekday morning here . One of the best parts of the preseason is that anything is possible. Dare to dream! What's stopping your favorite team from reaching the College Football Playoff? OK, for most teams, that's a little unrealistic. But who's to say the bowl game of your dreams is off the table? The postseason picture will come into clearer focus by the week, but for now, our Brad Crawford has a rough idea of what it will look like . If you're a Miami fan, you'll be thrilled to hear Crawford is buying stock in your team. He projects the Hurricanes as the top overall seed in the CFP. I still love bowl season, even if the transfer portal, CFP and opt-outs have shattered much of what used to make it special. Here are a few of the bowls I look forward to every December and the teams Crawford foresees playing in them: Thursday, we unveiled our ranking of the 15 best front offices in the NBA . Those are the braintrusts behind the best rosters in the league and the masterminds that orchestrated this offseason's splashiest signings and trades. But there are 30 teams in the NBA, and not all of them are run so smoothly. Our Sam Quinn defined the NBA's worst front offices as those who operate without a bigger-picture vision. In some cases, they are uncreative, stubborn and lack self-awareness. In others, their organization is not fully aligned, they are not willing to spend what it takes to win or they are flat-out irresponsible. Sadly, my team ranks almost all the way at the bottom. My beloved Trail Blazers fell a whopping nine spots since the February edition of these rankings, down to No. 28. Here's why: Sigh. Here are a few teams Portland slipped behind since the last time we ranked the front offices: 27. Suns (↓1) 26. Nuggets (↓6) 25.
