College Football Recap - 11/28/11

It is not even close anymore for No. 1:


LSU played by far the best schedule. They didn't have to, but they played Oregon (Pac-12 Champ) and West Virginia (Big East Champ).

BCS Flaw:
For those interested each conference can only have 2 BCS bids, so what happens if Georgia beats LSU? There is an exception to the 2 team rule and it is if the two non-champions are ranked #1 and #2 as would likely be the case with LSU and Alabama. Leave it to the BCS to make an exception for two NON-CHAMPIONS to be ranked #1 and #2 in their rankings.

I am not seeing the love that everyone has for Alabama, they have 3 wins over teams with winning records, their best win...Arkansas. Boise St. has 7 wins over teams with winning records, and their best win...Georgia. We here don't want a rematch, if you couldn't beat them at home you don't deserve another chance.

This weeks big mover is, unfortunately, BYU, up 16 spots, but we can take solace in the fact that their best win this year was Utah State.

The Heisman is pretty wide open this year and I am changing up and going Defense:
1. Tyrann Mathieu: The Honey Badger has 5 forced fumbles 2 picks and a punt return, he has been the most dominant player on the most dominant team.
2. Case Keenum: 393 YPG, 43 Touchdowns to 3 Interceptions, very impressive, but not great competition.
3. Robert Griffin
4. Montee Ball
5. Andrew Luck

Game to watch for this week Oregon v. UCLA, history might be made as a team playing for a conference championship ends up with a losing record or even better a 7-6 team going to the Rose Bowl.
