All Things Longhorn declared that Vince Young’s magnificent 80-yard TD run after the pump fake was a ‘Heisman Moment’ that may propel the Texas QB to the trophy.
I’m not here to debate the merits of the play. It really was a great play. I’d just like to clear up this notion that a [...]

Unable to do anything of note on the football field, the Michigan Wolverines have been chosen ‘best-dressed team’ by the folks at SI On Campus.
Congratulations to Michigan fans! At least they know their team looks good when it blows a game.

Michael Westbrook couldn’t help but notice how nice Michigan’s uniforms were as he caught [...]

Here at HP, we look at the Heisman race how it is, not how we think it should be. We also rank our candidates based on who has the best chance at actually winning. That said, we believe there are only two candidates left who can win the Heisman and those two remain [...]

Here’s the HP Top 10 teams for the week of Oct. 31:
1. USC (8-0)–Ho hum, another 700-yard-plus effort on offense, but the defense shut down one of the best offenses in the country. They’ll play Stanford this week before heading to Cal.
2. Virginia Tech (8-0)–Impressive win over Boston College only confirms that they’d be [...]

This year, they’ve decided to prepare everyone for the inevitability that Virginia Tech will go undefeated and not get a [...]

You can always count on The Onion for a laugh.
In this article, Notre Dame is the butt of their latest satire.
“I fully intend to be the primary architect of Notre Dame history’s return to prominence and relevance,” Weis said. “I inherited a program that had only won 11 national championships between 1924 and 2005. I [...]

…if we are going to see 10 million shots of Michael Vick on the Va. Tech sideline for the rest of the season, I vow that I will never watch the Hokies play again.
I mean, I’d much rather see meaningless shots of Al Davis than the older Vick’s facial reactions every time his [...]

We’ve already looked at next year’s Heisman candidates, so what about next year’s top teams?
Here’s our very early national championship contenders for 2006 (in no particular order):
USC–As usual. The Trojans will return six players on offense and six on defense, but they’ve recruited so well it’s hard to imagine some of the [...]
