It’s time to select the very prestigious Heismanpundit.com All-American team for 2006. You know, a lot of schools throw around the term ‘All-American’ in a very loose fashion. But, at this time, the NCAA only recognizes five All-American teams as being official. Those teams are the ones selected by the AP, the Football Coaches Assocation, [...]

The HP Heisman Straw Poll will be delayed today as I wait for a couple more votes to trickle in. One thing I am noticing is a recent surge of support for Arkansas running back Darren McFadden. It appears he will move ahead of Brady Quinn in the latest HP poll, which would correspond with [...]

Last weekend saw no real change in the HP Heisman Watch. Troy Smith has wrapped up the trophy, which means that the only real suspense left in the race is who will finish behind him. Brady Quinn will likely finish second after his game against USC. Quinn threw for 274 yards and 3 touchdowns in [...]

One more week to go and, for once, there is a little bit of clarity in college football this season. Please remember these are power rankings, based on how good I think the team is right now: 1. Ohio State (12-0)–The number of days between the Michigan game (Nov. 18) and the BCS title game [...]

We are down to the wire in the HP Fantasy Challenge. For those of you not familiar with the game, the HP Fantasy Challenge is a fantasy contest I started this season. Each player who entered was given 12 pre-set Heisman candidates and was allowed to choose one wild card from any team he wanted, [...]

Well, November is almost over and what a month it was. As December rolls in, the college football landscape is almost completely different than it was just 30 days ago. Coaches are getting fired everywhere, it seems. John L. Smith has been gone for a while now. Then it was Larry Coker, Chuck Amato, Dirk [...]

It was a good Friday of games–sort of an appetizer for Saturday’s slate. Some observations: Is it just me, or did the announcing team calling the Texas-Texas A&M game sound like a bunch of drunks lounging at a bar? Brad Nessler, Bob Griese and Paul McGuire were giggling and laughing after nearly every comment they [...]

The latest Heismanpundit.com Straw Poll is in and the panel consisting of former Heisman winner Charles White, plus nine members of the college football media, has Ohio State’s Troy Smith as the overwhelming leader in the race to win this year’s Heisman Trophy. Smith, who threw for 316 yards and four touchdowns against Michigan last [...]

Hope everyone has a great day with family and friends. See you all on Friday.

Well, I am limping to the season’s end. I went 6-7 last week, just my third losing week of the season–but third in the last four weeks. Overall, my record is 79-71-3 against the spread, or 53 per cent–still good enough to be in the black in Vegas, but down considerably from the 57-60 per [...]
