The HP Winter Top 20

We are in the embryonic stages of the race for the 2007 Heisman, but it’s not too early to start cobbling together a list of the players out there who will at least get a whiff [...]

An Early Top 10 List

Last year, my early top 10 had Notre Dame at No. 1 (yuk), but Florida was No. 2 (yay!). Here’s my very early look at 2007: 1. USC–The Trojans have the most talented 85-man roster in [...]

Smith’s Line

I think that Troy Smith‘s line against Florida will probably go down as the worst ever for a Heisman winner in a bowl game. 4 of 14 for 35 yards passing, 0 TDs, 1 interception 10 [...]

The BCS Title Game and the Supremacy of College Systems

Congrats to the Florida Gators on winning the national championship. Their 41-14 crushing of Ohio State was eerily similar to USC’s 55-19 smashing of Oklahoma a couple years ago. What was the common thread in the [...]
