CBS News reporter Robert Jordan in Terre Haute on Larry Bird and Indiana State University's basketball team in 1979. The Sycamores were the only undefeated team in major college basketball and were ranked #2 in the nation. The debate was whether they should move up to #1 even though they don't play any of the top teams in the nation.
