BCS Bowl Predictions
Sorry for the lack of posting, despite it being Bowl Season. I’ve been enjoying the holidays and I really haven’t been on the computer much lately. First, I just want to say how awesome it was watching Kellen Moore win his 50th game and. And it was awesome last night watching Baylor and Washington light up the score board. Even though these games are like exhibitions, they’re...

did you watch the same game i watched ? i believed TCU won.
It was still funny to watch them struggle against La Tech. Though I know Tech had an excellent defense. I think TCU is set to contend for the Big XII next year. They just had motivation issues yesterday.

According to Mark Mays
Throwing 264 yards against TCU’s defense “isn’t impressive.”

sportsandcrime:
TheBigLead: Jay Ajayi, a highly-touted running back recruit from Texas who is expected to contend for the starting job next season at Boise State, plead guilty to misdemeanor theft and given five days in jail. Theft of what? Sweatpants.
I except Boise will get another 5 scholarships taken away for the guy stealing sweatpants.

Bowl Games
They do bring their excitement, despite their irrelevance.
About to be a good one on right now. La Tech vs. TCU. Go La Tech!
betweenthehedges:
Andrew Luck should have won. He’s played 3 great seasons and all of a sudden he’s beat, two years in a row, by two players that come out of nowhere and have one good season.
If it were based on that, Kellen Moore would have won it and so would Colt McCoy a few years ago.
Andrew Luck is about to lose 3 times this year.
teachmehowtodizzle:
He already lost to Oregon and lost the heisman,
and Oklahoma State is gonna beat them down.
#GetWellSoon
If he has a bad game vs. OK State’s defense, does his draft stock go down?
For the 2nd Straight Year
There’s not a Senior candidate for the Heisman.
Navy has the best Pro Combat Uni's this year.
I’m looking forward to the Army/Navy game. I love the Option.
How they really feel.
foreignobjectdamage:
And Luck won the Maxwell and Walter Camp?
Did anyone actually watch his games this year, or just listen to ESPN? Oh…
So Apparently
The “Coach of the Year” award is turning into what the Heisman looked like for a while. Get your team to the NC game, and you win it. Now, I’m not saying Les Miles isn’t a great coach, who has apparently either learned about clock management or decided to beat everyone so badly he didn’t have to worry about the clock, but I would say that Bill Snyder was the most...

Heisman Results
Over the past few days, I recorded my own Heisman votes based on you guys and friends from facebook/twitter. Here’s the results:
Robert Griffin III - 68 points
Montee Ball - 37 points
Andrew Luck - 34 points
Trent Richardson - 33 points
Kellen Moore - 20 points
RG3 was the only guy to appear on everyone’s ballot.

A Modest Proposal
Boise State’s AD should call up Arizona State and say “Thanks, but no thanks.” Then he should give a call to USC’s AD to set up an exhibition game. 11-1 Boise State vs. 10-2 USC. Sounds a heck of a lot better to me. Besides, who really cares about the Las Vegas Bowl? Not me.

mssnglnk replied to your post: Boise State is going to the Big East.
I knew your head would melt when you saw it was (basically) official. But outside of the NAME, what’s the problem? Broncos get BCS legitimacy. Mission accomplished right? Big East can’t be kicked out. There’s no provision for that in the BCS bylaws.
Meh, I know it’s better for the program and all that, but...
Boise State is going to the Big East.
No comment…
Interesting Perspective
I’m reading a book written in 2006 that talks about how ridiculous the BCS had become. At this point in time, A non-AQ hadn’t played in a bowl game. Even without the presence of non-AQs playing in BCS games, people were trying to change the system.
ESPN's BCS Bowl wishlist:
gofightwinvt:
NC - LSU vs. Bama
Orange - LSU second team vs. Arkansas
Sugar - LSU water boys vs. Georgia
Fiesta - LSU’s grandparents vs. South Carolina
Rose - LSU vs. LSU

Heisman Voting
If I can get enough people, I would like to do my own Heisman Voting on here, based on you guys. I’ll take 5 names. Your #1 guy will get 5 points, and your #5 guy will get 1 point. So answer me here or reblog with your answer; whatever you want to do. So, who deserves the Heisman?
So let me say this.
Congratulations to Alabama. 11-1 is an amazing season, especially in the SEC. I would have very much liked to see Ok State play LSU, but it’s just not going to happen. Alabama is almost identical to LSU so it will be a heated matchup. If it wasn’t going to be Ok State/LSU then I’m glad it’s this match-up and not Stanford or whoever else. I just wish we could get an...

To everyone who thinks Alabama Shouldn’t go to the BCS Nation Championship, Sorry, but the people who voted in those polls are called EXPERTS for a reason, you can voice that “Oh Bama had their chance Blah Blah” Bull honky all day, It’s not Bama or LSU’s Fault that The two best teams in the…
The people voted? Where was my ballot?

It’s like, Denard, you can not be another Tim Tebow.
He can’t even be another Jamarcus Russell.

I love how mad y'all LSU fans are.

Why would LSU be mad? If anyone is mad it’s OK State, Kansas State, and Boise.

BCS History
This is the 14th year of the BCS era. In the previous 13 years, no more than two teams from outside the Top 10 have been involved in a BCS game per year.
This year, however, there are 4… 4 teams outside the Top 10 playing in BCS games. Ideally, the BCS should take all top 10 teams, because those are the top 5 bowl games. That’s only happened once, in 2010, when Texas played Alabama...
Denard Robinson will be starting in a BCS game...
and Kellen Moore will be playing 6-6 Arizona State…
xbrokenwishx replied to your post: The ACC
Arkansas doesn’t get to play in the BCS even though they are in the top 5…what kind of sense does that make?
Arkansas doesn’t get to play because only two teams from the same conference can go to a BCS game. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Georgia upsetted LSU last week.
I know I would get fired
But if I were the head coach of Virginia Tech, I wouldn’t allow my team to play in a BCS game this year. And if I were at Boise I would protest the Las Vegas Bowl. It’s just flat out ridiculous. I guess it comes down to just “doing what you’re told,” no matter if it makes sense. But until something MAJOR like that happens, nothing will change.
The ACC
has two teams playing in BCS games even though they don’t have a single team in the Top Ten. Seems like a legit system.
collegefootballinsight replied to your post: My Thoughts on the Heisman
Statistically, Ball from Wisconsin blows Richardson out of the water. I agree that RG3 deserves it, but having 3 losses will probably be his curse.
Right now the ESPN voters have him at #1. But I don’t know about the other guys. It’ll be close. This year might be the year we get another deserving Heisman.
Is it sad the bowl I'm most looking forward to is...

Why exactly is Honey Badger in the Heisman race? Didn’t he get busted with drugs? Yeah, totally the character worthy of a Heisman, right?
Not that I am defending either one of them, but what about Cam Newton makes you think “This guy is character worthy of the Heisman”? Or…
Remember that time Cam Newton got in trouble for stealing a laptop? Good...
Oh yeah...

It’s not like the BCS games other than the NC are worth anything anyways…
