With all the early entry candidates announced, here’s how I see the Heisman race shaping up right now.  These are the guys who I think have the best chance to actually win the Heisman: 1.  Colt McCoy, Texas–He was last year’s Heisman runner up and was about 2 seconds away from winning it (before he [...]

For the first time in the history of the Heisman Trophy, the top three finishers in a single year’s voting will all return for another season. Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow have all made it official.  They are coming back for another go at it. Should be another amazing Heisman race in ’09.  [...]

I think this is the post I’ve dreaded for a while.  I’m so sad that the college football season is over and we will not have nearly as much to talk about.  That said, here are my final thoughts on the BCS title game: —It’s pretty clear now that the Gators are in the middle [...]

I’ll have thoughts on the BCS title game tomorrow.  For now, here is my final top 10 teams.  Before I give my final top 10, I think it is noteworthy to recognize that my two top preseason teams were Oklahoma and Florida.  Here we go: 1.  Florida 2.  Oklahoma 3.  USC 4.  Texas 5.  Utah [...]

Well, the game is just about upon us.  It’s sad, really, that we have to wait another nine months for college football to start up again. I think this bowl season has served to remind us of the importance of varying styles and familiarity in college football.  This is why I maintain that bowls don’t [...]

1.  Colt McCoy is the Heisman front runner for next season, regardless of who comes back. 2.  Did anyone else get the sense that Ohio State’s use of Boeckman and Pryor at the same time was Jim Tressel’s way of responding to criticism that he never does anything creative on offense?  I did. 3.  Terrelle [...]

Since we are about to witness this year’s Heisman winner in his bowl game, I thought it would be worthwhile to look back on how the last 20 Heisman winners fared in their bowls: (for how all the winners have done, click here ) 1988, Barry Sanders– 29 carries, 222 yards, 5 TDs (win) 1989, [...]

Is anyone else out there bothered by Fox’s telecast of the BCS games so far? It’s absolutely horrid.  It has an NFL feel to it and the commentators are clearly not familiar with the teams. It took forever to see a replay of Texas’ winning touchdown pass last night.  And several plays were missed during [...]

Sorry for the light posting, the holidays have done a number on me.  Working on getting back in the saddle and should have things rolling soon. In the meantime, there are a few things I’d like to point out: —I’ve been a big defender of the Pac-10 on this blog for years, but I’ve always [...]
