    Who is the best college football team ever???

    Tuesday, December 12, 2006, 08:29 PM EST [Texas Longhorns]

    That is a question that no one will know the answer to. Personally I've left all teams that lost a game out of the discussion. Could it be the 2004 USC Trojans that had superstars like Matt Lienart and Reggie Bush? Yes, it could be. Could it be the 2004 Auburn Tigers that ran the table that year and got left out of the National Title Game? Yes, it could. Could it be the 2005 Texas Longhorns? Yes it could very well could be? Could it even be the 2006 Ohio State Buckeyes? Why, if they win the National Championship Game, then yes I believe it could be. Now before you say that all of theese teams are to recent and that I'm not looking back far enough, I must say that I think any team prior to the 1980s should be left out of this discussion. Another team that could be the best is the Michigan team from 1997. Or the Nebraska team from 1994 and even 1995. Maybe Miami in 2001 or Ohio State in 2002. This is a question that no one any where will ever be able to answer, but I'm going to try.

    In my opinion the best team in college football history is the...............................2005 Texas Longhorns.

    Heres why. Two words. VINCE YOUNG. Also I had to exclude the 2004 Trojans because the 2005 Longhorns basically beat them the next year in the National Championship. I also had to exclude the 2004 Auburn Tigers, because they were considered the second best team in the country at the time. I couldn't pick the 2002 Buckeyes because they had no legit QB and their best player is now in jail for 20-30 years. I also couldn't select the 2006 Buckeyes, because, one, they haven't won it yet, and, two, the Longhorns basically beat them in 2005 also. The other reasons I had were the Longhorns dominance during the regular season. A 45-12 thrashing of Oklahoma in one of the biggest rivalries in college football. A closest game in conference being an 11 point win at Texas A&M. And maybe that 70-3 murder of Colorado in the Big 12 Championship Game. They beat, the second best team ever in my opinion in the 2005 USC Trojans, in what was the best college game ever played.

    Thanks for reading, and please leave your opinions on who you think the best college team ever is.

     

    To respond to you guys who left comments, I agree that the 96 gators are a great team, and in my opinion one of the top 5 teams ever, but I said at the beginning that I was going to leave out teams that had lost a game. I do believe that 96 Florida VS 05 Texas would be a great game, and I don't know if Florida would win, and nobody will. No one will ever know for sure, but I think that 05 Texas was the best ever, with 04 USC second, then this might surprise your 04 Auburn third, with 96 Florida fourth, and 01 Miami fifth.

    BCS Bowl Games- from best to worst

    Tuesday, December 12, 2006, 05:41 PM EST [General]

    Here are, in my opinion, the BCS Bowl Games in order from worst to first in the must see department.

    WORST TO FIRST

    Orange Bowl- Louisville VS Wake Forest

    This will be no contest. Louisville win big. Now I know that Wake Forest had a cinderella type season winning the ACC, but the ACC clearly had a down year this year. Louisville's offense is for real, and I don't think Wake Forest can keep it close for more then a half.

    GAME MVP- Brian Brohm

    Final Score- Lousville- 49  Wake Forest-21

    SUGAR BOWL- LSU VS Notre Dame

    How does Notre Dame get a BCS Game. If it weren't for the 3 teams per conferance rule, we would see a much more competitive game here, with LSU VS Wisconsin, even though I think that LSU would still win. Look Notre Dame isn't very good this year. They are obviously not deserving of this game, and will prove it. LSU's Defense is the best that there is. Notre hasn't beating a good team all year, the two that they played they got killed. LSU wins big.

    GAME MVP- LSU Defense

    Final Score- LSU- 38 Notre Dame-14

    FIESTA BOWL- OKLAHOMA VS BOISE STATE

    This game will be very interesting around halftime. Boise State is better then people give them credit for. Now I know they didn't beat anyone spectacular this season, but they won every single game that they played. Utah ran the table a couple of years ago, why not Boise State. Do I think that Boise State could take down a team like Florida or Oklahoma's schedule like the two teams did. No. But for one game at any particular time they can compete with anybody in the nation. At halftime Boise and OU are very close, then Adrian Peterson leads a second half rally.

    GAME MVP-Adrian Peterson

    Final Score- Oklahoma-28 Boise State- 21

    ROSE BOWL- MICHIGAN VS USC

    Both teams playing in this game where they don't want to be. Bot teams thought that they had a shot at the National Championship headed into the final weekend of the season, but they are both stuck in Pasadena. Anyway, this game will be very high scoring. Michigan with Henne, Hart, Breaston, and Manningham. USC with Booty, Jarrett, Smith, and the RB by committe. Whoever has the ball last will win this one, in a battle between two of the best football progams in the history of college football. I think that Michigan's experiance wins this game for them.

    GAME MVP- Chad Henne

    Final Score- Michigan 42 USC- 39 (hahahahahahah aren't I funny)

    NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP- FLORIDA VS OHIO STATE

    Many angry Michigan fans think this game will be a blowout, but it won't be. This game will come down to the wire. I like Florida's overall team speed, and I just flat think that Ohio State is the best team in the country. I don't think that if Florida and Ohio State played a best-of 7 series that Florida would win, but if you give Urban Meyer a month to prepare for a game fireworks are sure to come. Florida with a 4 year starter at QB in Chris Leak. Leak has lead many fourth quarter come-backs in his career at Florida, and has plenty of big game experiance. Percy Harvin, Dallas Baker, Andre Caldwell, and Jemalle Cornelious are just to big of a load to stop on offense. Florida has the top front four in the country, followed with some of the best LBs, in Brandon Siler and Earl Everett. They also have playmakers in their secondary, which is considered to be their weakness. Their names are Ryan Smith who has 8 interceptions, and Reggie Nelson who is a big hitter, and has 6 ints.Chris Leak does it one more time as Florida dominates the first half, Ohio State dominates the second half, and Chris Leak leads a drive to win in the 4th quarter.

    GAME MVP- Chris Leak

    Final Score- Florida- 28 Ohio State-24

    2007 NFL Draft gives Texans an oppritunity to right the ship

    Monday, December 11, 2006, 06:00 PM EST [General]

    As you know the Houston Texans struggle. They are one of the bottom feeders of the league. Yesterday the two potential superstars they passed on, Vince Young and Reggie Bush, had big days. Vince of course had the 4th quarter comeback and 39 yard TD run in OT.

    The Texans suck at drafting. In five years the best pick that they have ever had was 2nd round MLB DeMeco RyansIn 2007 the Texans have a change to change a history of bad drafting. With the Texans first pick they need to pick a saftey or Offensive Tackle. Two names that stick out in my mind are Reggie Nelson, Saftey from Florida, and Jake Long OT from Michigan. In the second round they could go a few different ways. They could go QB, CB, RB, OLB,(or S or OT whatever one they don't pick first). Hopefully the don't pick a WR. A few names that stick out here are a couple of players from Louisville. There names are Brian Brohm, QB, and Michael Bush RB. For thoose who don't know Bush broke his leg and didn't play the entire year, but in past years has been an animal. The NFL Combine hasn't happened so I don't know the word on where he is supposed to go. If he is expected to go further they need to select Brian Brohm or Earl Everett, OLB Florida. In Round 3 if Bush is still around then you need to pick him. If not and you didn't pick Brohm pick the QB from the Florida Gators, Chris Leak. He is going to be a great player in my opinion. He has all the characteristics of a great QB. Poise, confidence, leadership, accurate arm. Most importantly, he played four years at Florida, and started all of them. He is a winner. The only problem is that if he has a great performance in the National Championship and NFL combine he might not be around here, but because he is small at just 6 foot he still should be.

    That is my take on how the Houston Texans should attempt to draft this year. I wrote this because as you can see there too dumb to figure it out themselves.

     

    I still can't believe they passed on Vince and Reggie

    Texans don't Get IT

    Sunday, December 10, 2006, 06:35 PM EST [Houston Texans]

    The key to a great QB is IT. IT is confidence, poise,swagger, and leadership. Vince Young has IT. David Carr doesn't. Carr plays scared. Vince plays expecting to win. Do you think its just magic that the Titans are 0-3 without Vince and 6-4 with Vince. Sure Carr has better mechanics, good athletism, and good speed. Sure on paper and in practice he looks good. But he doesn't have IT. Vince does. The Texans made a mistake. I do believe that Mario will be a great player in the NFL but Vince Young is a SUPERSTAR. Other QBs with IT are Tom Brady, Carson Palmer, Donovan McNabb, Brett Farve, John Elway to name just a few. Players without are Jake Plummer, David Carr, and I hate to say it, but Peyton Manning.

    BCS National title Game

    Sunday, December 3, 2006, 07:43 PM EST [BCS]

    Heres what I have to say:

    SEC toughest conference despite what Michigan fans think.

    Florida toughest schedule.

    Games leading up to loss-Tennesee,Kentucky,Alabama,LSU for Florida...........Northwestern Ball State, Indiana for Michigan..................Ask yourself who was a little more beat up?

    Loss- Michigan at Ohio State by 3(it was 3 instead of 17 because of a botched snap and tipped ball for an interception) .................. Florida at Auburn(losses because punter drops ball in endzone and a terrible call on the fumble instead of incomplete pass as Florida basically had an extra-point to take the lead with a few minutes remaining)

    Big Wins- Michigan beats Notre Dame(over-rated) and Wisconsin(also over-rated).......... Florida(its tough because they had so many, but I'm just going to have to leave it to 3) LSU, Tennesee, and Arkansas

    National Championship game- Many think this game will be a blow-out, but it will not be. Florida has the best D in the country. Ohio State has never played someone as fast as Florida is.Final Score: Ohio State-24 Florida-28
