Hahaha! Yes, we need a head to head match of the last two major undefeateds... hell, throw Utah in the mix for the hell of it!
Seriously, Alex Smith should have had a better chance at the Heisman... hopefully one day there will be enough parity in the NCAA Div1-A football to have it so that mid major teams have national title shots and their players have heisman shots. |

Oh man, did the Sooners get destroyed. Ha ha, I knew they were overrated. Of course, I think the Trojans are overrated too, but that's a different story. |

Oh yeah, I did miss that detail, 46. 
Kinda funny how they were ahead of the curve on White (who I don't think anyone outside of Oklahoma boosters REALLY wanted to win the Heisman, and even then that's only because they figured Peterson couldn't win as a freshman... we know he deserved an equal shot) with him winning last year, but Leinart does deserve it this year out of the upperclassmen. Maybe Smith if he played in a bigger conference. |

You mean "The Best College upperclassman QB/RB Heisman Trophy"?
Matt Leinart, huh? Fair enough; actually I would have been fine with any of them winning besides White, although he was more deserving to win this year than he was last year. Nothin' against him or Oklahoma; I just don't want Archie Griffin to have company in the record book. |

Matt Leinart, USC.
Oh, Eric Crouch? Nice shirt. Twit.
Voting results:
1. Matt Leinart (USC)
2. Adrian Peterson (Oklahoma)
3. Jason White (Oklahoma)
4. Alex Smith (Utah)
5. Reggie Bush (USC)
Wow. Peterson's a freshman and finished second. He almost declared under the Clarett Doctrine, and maybe he coulda carried himself in the NFL too.
In other news, Notre Dame has a coach: Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis gets six years. Maybe he got tired of waiting for an NFL opening? |

The 5 Heisman Candidates:
Jason White, Oklahoma
Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma
Matt Leinart, Usc
Reggie Bush, Usc
Alex Smith, Utah
It'd be interesting if the voters are split among the Oklahoma and Usc players which would lead Smith to pull the upset. I think Leinart will be a lock to win it, though. |

I think having three perfect teams was the ultimate nightmare. 
I saw a poll that was done... 70% of people favored Auburn vs. any of the other two at the Sugar Bowl.  |

BCS sucks...Cal isn't going to a BCS game  o but I guess Texas was overdue for one? |

But still, there was nothing stopping LSU and USC from lining up last year and going at it. Then instead of both of them complaining, they would have had a winner. |

It's what the game means that gives pride. Like how proud we are that we beat Michigan. Because that's The Game. We've had it every year for over 100 years. Same goes for the bowls, though to a lesser extent. |

That would be decent, but still, players are supposed to play. Line two teams up, and let them have it. Screw bowl games, or coverage, play for pride. |

Well, a true playoff system would undermine the bowl system, which is steeped in tradition (and moneymaking), but several coaches have advocated a "Bowl Plus" system, which would have all the BCS bowls as normal, then one last final Championship game afterwards. |

there are a few critics who wonder why Division I-A is the only Divison in NCAA football not to have a championship game. I mean, a championship game in the fashions of what march madness has for basketball. You know, like last year, if LSU played USC after they won their respective bowl games--that kind of championship game. Use BCS to "seed" teams and then go from there... |

Now that the Big East has already extracted every ounce of validity from its conference deserving an automatic Bcs game, It'd be awesome if Colorado beats Oklahoma. Hey, nobody thought the Sooners could lose to Kansas State at this time last year.
But that wouldn't be controversial enough for the Ncaa to pull their heads out of their ass, so we'd need Auburn to fall to Tennessee as well. Would they really end up with a Trojans-Utes championship game? I know they sure hope it doesn't go there!

Bah, Oklahoma shouldn't even be #2, let alone ahead of USC. |

However, a lot of critics believe USC is beatable and thus, they feel Oklahoma and Auburn should be ahead of USC in the BCS standings... I dunno, the BCS formula is a mess. Pac-10 is already at a disadvantage against the other conferences because we don't have a championship game...but then again, critics could argue that because we don't have a championship game, USC is getting "help" |

How about the #1 team in the country? The University of Southern Cal?
They laid a beatdown on Notre Dame yesterday. I was seriously worried when they went down 10-3, but then they came back, thanks to (hopefully) this year's Heisman winner, Matt Leinart!
Someone in one of my classes is an Oklahoma fan...if you ask me, that's as bad as being a Miami fan. I HATE Oklahoma, I HATE Texas, and I HATE Miami. |

Pooooooooooor Sky.  I'm sure he's ACHING over that Stanford loss.
Boston College is one win away from a BCS spot, which is pretty cool.  |
