I love it. Great game. Still too many things need to happen to have Ohio State go anywhere except the Rose Bowl, but this is another piece of their puzzle...

College football...
This may be one of the most enjoyable seasons I have witnessed.
(Despite the fact my Longhorns absolutely stink!)

There are so many possibilities at this point.
You dont hear about the playoff system this year
with such chaos due to upsets.

THis has been a great year.

First two players taken in the draft:

1. Kentucky QB
2. McWildman of Hog fame. (I think he is on the level of A. Peterson)

If the teams that choose first dont go to fill a big gap in the O-line or some other immediate deficiency.

The KY QB isn't even the best pro prospect in his own state

That was a LOW blow, Cannon. Probably one of biggest flops in Pro ball.
McFadden will be #2 in voting...Tebow has done something that's never been done in College!

The only way the kid is not taken very high is if he is a head case. He can do everything well.
Reguardless what happens today. Is he a head case?

I agree, one of the best seasons I have witnessed. Not too thrilled with the playoff system, because all that does is make games like today that much less meaningful, IMO.

a 16 team playoff like the other divisions play would be PERFECT for this year!
sorry CS, i still think lsu and usc are the 2 best teams in the country. osu is a close 3rd. hawaii and wvu are in the top 10 because they would drive everyone crazy with those offenses and their speed.

The Heisman Trophy should quite obviously be the quarterback of the winning team tonight. It isn't even debatable, or even contested. Reesing and Daniel are the only two I would consider for the Heisman. I'd rank Pat White 3rd. The only time that team lost was when he missed over half the game against S Florida. I'd rank Dixon high becuase of that too...a completely different team with him not playing. When Brennan missed games, the Hawaii offense was exactly the same. Graunke put up huge numbers on the road last week against Nevada.

right now I'd rank them...

1. (tie) Reesing/Daniel
3. Pat White
4. Dennis Dixon
5. McFadden
6. Tebow
7. Brennan
8. Crabtree
9. Woodson
10. Jimmy Clausen

After this weekend:
Missouri wins
1-West Va
2-Missouri
3-Ohio St.
4-Ga Tech

Kansas wins
1-Kansas
2-West Va
3-Ohio St.
4-Ga Tech

Oklahoma beats either of them in the Big 12 title game and that opens the door for WV/OSU in the title game. There are two things that could come into play. There is a huge wildcard here.....Kentucky. Kentucky plays against Tennessee. If they Wildcats can beat Tennessee, that puts Georgia in the SEC title game. The Bulldogs are currently ranked 7th but three teams ahead of them will have lost (LSU, Missouri/Kansas, Arizona St) so there is a very good chance that they will be #4 (provided they beat Ga Tech today). If they are in the #4 position after this weekend, a win in the SEC title game over LSU could be enough to jump them up over idle Ohio St. If Tennessee beats Kentucky, they go to the SEC title game instead and that would virtually elimate Georgia's shot at the BCS title game.

The other question is how far down does LSU fall? What if they only fall to the fourth spot? That would still leave them very much in the title chase. If they only fall to fourth, they would still have a chance to move up to #3 when Oklahoma beats the Missouri/Kansas winner. If they are #3 and win the SEC title game, could that be enough to vault them over Ohio St? If that title game win is over #4 Georgia, it could be.

How many 500+ yard games does LSU have to give up before you SEC guys give it up? And dont give me that overtime stuff because it was 499 going into the OT's. That is a team that without a couple fortunate breaks has 4 losses and is looking mighty strong in the Peach Bowl.
