The PAC-10 is the strongest and most underrated conference in America. The last place team (Washington Huskies) killed Syracuse, highly ranked Boise State, played Ohio State tough (although the numbers do not show it), nearly beat USC and UCLA, and crushed Stanford, who by the way, did beat USC. Other PAC-10 teams with losing records include Stanford, WSU who crushed UCLA, and Arizona. The SEC is tough and they know how to win, but the PAC-10 is stronger. I wish they could send a team to the National Championship, but alas, Dennis Dixon’s injury cost more than a Heisman. This season has come down to two undefeated teams, Hawaii, who would deserve a chance at the title, and if you disagree, then you obviously weren’t having a Fiesta last year when Boise State played the most creative football down the wire in history to beat Oklahoma. And Kansas. Has basketball season started yet? Yes, but hold on. I didn’t want to believe it, but the Jayhawks’ offense is mammoth. They have scored at least 52 points in five games and over 30 points in all but two games, at Colorado, and at Texas A&M, where they still held on to the win. All in all it should be a great rest of the season, I just wished the Ducks could’ve flown south this winter to join another talented squad in New Orleans for an exciting Championship game. But New Orleans won’t be seeing the storm of an offense the dangerous Ducks have offered. Dixon and Jonathan Stewart may be the two most talented players in the game, but both have battled injuries in their careers. Which brings me to my final thought, which college sports fans love to talk about. Heisman.
Tebow. Hmm… The man is extremely talented, his TD to INT ratio is incredible, and he may be the most talented college player in the next few years, but not yet. He still is not in the top 25 in passing yards, and once he has that stat as well as the run, then he can hold the trophy. Matt Ryan, please, his QB rating, TD to INT ratio and completion percentage are much lower than other top QB’s. Mike Hart, are you kidding me? Hey Mike, I guarantee you won’t win the Heisman, and I’ll be correct just like you were when you finally beat Notre Dame in September. Him and Ray Rice (Rutgers) are getting the hype, but have a worse yards per carry average than other top backs. Graham Harrell is not getting any hype although he leads most major QB stats including TD’s, completions, completion percentage, and yards. However, a QB needs to lead their team to victory and Texas Tech has three losses.
So who should you be watching? I have four players to watch Jonathan Stewart, who has the highest yards per carry average for a RB on a high profile team, and shares carries with Dixon and Johnson, Darren McFadden, who averages 143 yards per game, despite playing with other top runners and for an SEC team. Michael Crabtree, who leads every, yes every important receiving statistic, and drumroll, Glen Dorsey, who won’t get it, or even make the top ten because he’s a defensive player, but he is soon to have an enormous NFL career.
