| Whoa, I think you mean college comp 101. Not trying to be a dick (it just comes natural) but you want to get that word right, for sure.
The trick to a good research topic is something that will have enough information around for you to be able to generate several pages, but not so broad that you don't really go anywhere or have to give too much side detail on things.
Since you have a choice, you should pick something you are interested in as well. But don't pick something silly like a sport or team. Pick a relatively academic topic. A good place to start might be a subject area, and then narrow it down from there into a specific topic.
