- Notre Dame should not start the season ranked in the Top 15 next year, much less the top 25.
- Michigan is not #2, or in my opinion, #3, #4 or #5. In fact I am not sure Michigan should be ranked in the Top 10.
- There will never be a playoff system, because it puts larger more established programs at risk.
- I hope that Florida beats Ohio State, because I am so sick and tired about hearing how great the “golden five” are. (Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, USC). Although USC looked pretty damn good!
- How did Troy Smith win the Heisman?
- Since they will never have a playoff system, the NCAA should institute a flex schedule, meaning if you finish the season in the Top25, in the following year you have to schedule at least one out of conference opponent that also finished the previous year in the Top 25.
- I refuse to believe that there is a bias against the SEC. They have a contract with CBS to televise games on Saturday. If anyone has a complaint it has to be teams from the West Coast, which get no love.
- How does Dennis Green keep getting head coaching jobs?
- Maybe Bonds took steroids, maybe he did not, but they have been illegal in baseball since 1990, if you do not believe me, do some research.
- I refuse to believe that a golfer can be athlete of the year. You walk, someone else carries your clubs and you can be considered a “professional” until you die.
- Believe me, the Nintendo Wii is worth every penny.
- Why on earth did the Diamondbacks trade for Randy Johnson, he was washed up when they traded him to the Yankees.
- Why do professional basketball players whine so much?
Maybe this is the first year that I have really paid attention to the heisman award, but does anyone else feel that this year has got to be the worst finalist ever. Let’s look at some numbers to see what I mean.
Troy Smith
Passing Efficiency (4), Brennan (1), Beck (2), Russell (3) all rank above him
Total Offense (32), Brennan (1), Beck (4)
Total Passing Yards (33), Brennan (1), Beck (6)
Points Responsible for (7), Brennan (1), Beck (3)
Actually as far as stats go, Smith is not even the best Q.B in the country, much less the runaway heisman winner.
Brady Quinn
Passing Efficiency (14)
Total Offense (8)
Total Passing Yards (8)
Points Responsible for (5)
Out of both of these quarterbacks, neither one of them is ranked 1st in any statistical summary as located here, actually Brennan from Hawaii looks amazing.
Now let’s look at the R.B McFadden
Rushing (10), Wolfe (1), Johnson (2), Slaton (3), Rice (4)
Total Offense, not in top 100, Wolf (80), Johnson (89), Slaton (90) Rice (100)
Scoring (26), Johnson (1), Bradshaw (2), Rice (6), Slaton (9)
Points Responsible for (65), Johnson (19), Bradshaw (34), Wolf (47), Rice (53), Slaton (61)
As you can see with all of these players that none of them statistically are at the top of their respective categories and yet they are the top three in the hesiman voting, why? I think that out of these three, McFadden is the best athlete and out of these three should win, but he is not even ranked consistently above these other backs. I realize that Smith is the runaway favorite and that has more to do with the fact that he is from one of the “golden 5 “ schools then anything else, but how is he even a runaway favorite. Give me your thoughts.
