We Are Not In Kansas Anymore Fellas....

Well it's over. With Kansas' loss to Missouri on Saturday, all hope of the Jayhawks playing for the national title was lost. I have to say I was not expecting the Mizzou/Kansas game to have national title implications, but hey that's the theme for this college football season. The Tigers won the possession battle, controlling the ball for 37:25 compared to the Jayhawks 22:35. Mizzou QB and Heisman hopeful Chase Daniel went 40-49 for 361 yards, 3 TDs, and NO interceptions. This was the first all year that I was able to sit down and watch Daniel play and I was very impressed. He controlled the offense very well and made the big plays when he had to. Expect to see him in New York for the Heisman ceremony.

What has happened with LSU??? All they have to do is win out and they are national title-bound. But what happens?? Lloyd Carr leaves Michigan, every time LSU head coach Les Miles turns around he gets asked another question about the coach position for the maze and blue. And then Arkansas comes in to Baton Rouge and beats the Tigers in 3 OTs by the final score 50-48, in what was one of the greatest games in SEC history. Razorback running back Darren McFadden sprinted back into the Heisman race after this race. Run DMC ran for 206 yards and 3 TDs and also THREW for another score. As a team Arkansas ran for 383 yards on the ground against what most people feel is the best defense in the country. I'm very disappointed in LSU. They were given a second chance to play for the national title and blew it.

Quickly, how sick are the West Virginia Mountaineers?? Hanging 66 on any team, even if it is UConn (who was #20 in the BCS), is impressive. Expect to Mountaineer signal caller in New York for some Heisman action. White is the main reason West Virginia has been able to stay in the top 10 since their loss to South Florida.

One more thing. Two hottest teams in the country: USC and Georgia. The Trojans are playing like they were expected and have a good chance to playing in the Rose Bowl. And ever since having the greatest TD celebration in recent memory (except for Chad Johnson's marriage proposal to that Bengals cheerleader), Georgia has moved up to #4 in the BCS this week. They also need to wear those black jerseys more often.

Since the BCS is too confusing, NO rankings this week. Check back next week for when the rankings count. My only hope is that Ohio State is not playing for the national title. Who have the played??? Two quality games in Illinois and Michigan, losing at home to the Illini and beating a two-faced Michigan team.

After much consideration, I have decided to take the advice of one Ryan Camden and make Tim Tebow my number one Heisman prospect.

1. Tim Tebow (Florida)
2. Chase Daniel (Missouri)
3. Pat White (West Virginia)

I have Darren McFadden out of the top 3 because even though he has had some ridiculous games this year, he has also had very mortal games as well. Putting White third was hard for me, again Daniel has been more consistent and his performance against Kansas was unreal.

CCG at noon on Saturday. I've got a feeling this week's Kansas Jayhawk will be a tough one for Mr. Nick Yeoman
