also, I don't think Patrick Peterson will get anywhere near the Heisman Top 5. I hate to say it, but defensive players hardly get any love in the Heisman, even in years when extraordinary talent is more difficult to come by, like this year

just like the BCS I am thinking that the Heisman trophy award is getting closer and closer to bullshit as well. sometimes there are astonishing players that deserve it, but mostly it just goes to the offensive stand-out of the team that happens to have the best record

it's a shame the likes of Patrick Peterson will never sniff the Heisman Presentation in NYC. sure. the only player that was strictly a defensive player that won the Heisman was CB Charles Woodson, the 1997 winner from Michigan
 
bah...I'm so down in the dumps I can't even muster a week 8 summary. At least my team can't lose this weekend (bye week). Maybe I'll watch something......maybe I'll see what life is like outside my living room.




On the Heisman tip - Suh was on the list a bit last year, I believe. And defensive players do get some notice, but you are right they won't get NYC invites if they are strictly a defensive player (didn't Woodson do Kick-Punt returns in addition to defense?). Just won't happen, unfortunately. However, there are a boatload of defensive and other position awards, and while the Heisman gets most of the press, those who appreciate defense or a particular position will KNOW who is good and who got invited to the appropriate ceremonies. The Heisman has gotten inflated in the past 20 yrs to one more media story to keep NCAAF buzz running, IMO. Yeah, it goes to good (college) players, but to me it isn't really more important than the Outland or other awards.....it just has a brighter spotlight on it.
 
yeah Woodson did return punts and even occasionally played wide receiver, although not very much

I guess this most certainly helped out his Heisman candidacy
 
Alright so I threw down 100 bucks on a the LSU vs AU game. I bet this LSU homer and I got him to knock it down to 4 points.It is a tough game to call. It matches strength against strength. Auburn obviously has Cam Newton who brings his versatility. Auburn ranks 9th in total offense and 6th in scoring offense. Then you have LSU who has the versatile Patrick Peterson. LSU ranks 3rd in total defense and 11th in scoring defense. You have to think that this game will come down to LSU's offense. The defense will keep them in it but if the offense sputters then I think that Auburn scores enough to win. Just for an FYI, LSU=92nd in total offense, 70th in scoring offense. Auburn=63rd in total defense and scoring defense
 
the LSU vs Auburn game is probably going to be my most appreciated in the entire college football season. I think that the winner of this game will go on to win the SEC conference (I think both will be able to beat BAMA this year)

Auburn has Cam Newton, who is playing like how Terelle Pryor should next year. LSU has the NCAA's most impressive defense, great special teams, and a head coach who obviously has black magick on his side

if only college football could showcase more games like this one. it is so difficult to find an extraordinary match-up, because one has to meander through the doldrums

good luck on your bet, mang. that is key that you got him to knock down 4 points. one should always avoid arrogance ignited by homerism when actually putting money on the line
 
hot damn! the Oregon Ducks look like National Title contenders on both sides of the ball, tonight
 
Well, at least Brehaut got some work in.

The arrogance of Oregon is dwarfing anything USC did in the past decade. I'm dying to see it blow up in their face. Their offense is like a video game with some meth added into the mix.

The good news is that UCLA is still 12-5 all-time at Autzen. :D

:(
 
i just wanted to drop in to give a big fuck you to the bama nation.

tennessee 20

^Yeah, likely... Ha!


Oregon is impressive for sure! Hot damn is right!

GO TIGERS (OMG LOL!!!! ;)

I totally slept on the Thursday night game, and the highlight reel is just a bunch of OR scoring plays. I want to see what exactly happened to the UCLA offense. :\

I read some pretty convincing analysis of the dawgs chances against Kentucky last night, so I'll take them to score well beyond the spread. Other than that, I honestly don't give a damn about football today, though I'll look to the Iowa/badgers and sooners/mizzou scores with some interest.
 
I'm in Tiger Country tonight and I find out the black matriarch of my neighborhood (and two of her three thug sons) are Auburn fans. What?

"Someone has to root for Auburn."
"Let alabama root for them!"
"you talkin' to ME girl?"

-_-

this game is annoying too.
 
the Wisco/Iowa game is what I love about Big Ten football at its best. outstanding line play, outstanding running backs, and lots of missed field goals (maybe I take advantage of being a fan of a program that can actually kick FGs on the college level?). looks like Iowa aka "the Fightin' Ricky Stanzis" couldn't quite best Wisconsin

I found myself watching this game more than the Auburn/LSU game, but that one looked fun as well

Cam Newton doesn't just steal laptops... he steals victories as well
 
sup guise? I can join in on this bragottry. my team man handled Purdue, a team that actually looked kinda good before losing most of their starters to injuries

yeah I'd rather bet on UGA than FL right now. although the Gaytors have a good defense, they don't have any momentum right now. at least the Dawgs are starting to play impressively

Ha!

I predict the Iron Bowl this year will be a huge game, quite possibly sending the winner to the SEC and National Championship games. I doubt Auburn drops more than one game between now and then, and of course I don't expect Bama to lose again, either... Think about how beautiful this would be if it shaped up... One of the fiercest in-state rivalries on the last game before the SEC Championship with both teams having NC potential... Wouldn't that be GREAT?! What's amazing is that not only is it possible; I'd say it is probable.
