Don’t count them out altogether. For certain going into week 10 of the BCS standings it looks like the Gators ( 1) and Alabama (2) are a shoe-in for the big money bowls. Yet regardless TCU continues to press ahead, on track to have it’s first undefeated regular season since 1938. After last weeks beat down of #21 Utah 55-27, coach Patterson and his team is waiting to capitalize on any mistakes made by Florida, Alabama, or Texas.
Only two teams stand between them and perfect season…Wyoming and the hapless New Mexico. All this from a school that comes from a conference that doesn’t get an automatic bowl game. So hats off to Coach Gary Patterson and his Horned Frogs for a well played season.
Mark Ingram, Alabama: The sophomore has already run for 1,148 yards and eight touchdowns. He had 144 rushing yards in last week’s 24-15 victory over No. 9 LSU, gaining 106 in the second half.
Case Keenum, Houston His statistics — 3,815 passing yards with 28 touchdowns and only five interceptions in 458 pass attempts — dwarf every other quarterback in contention. Critics will argue Houston hasn’t played much competition, but Keenum beat every BCS opponent he played (Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Mississippi State) this season.
Tim Tebow, Florida: Tebow is the most valuable player on the No. 1 team in the country. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner isn’t putting up the numbers we’ve grown accustomed to seeing him produce, but he doesn’t have the same playmakers surrounding him, either. His numbers weren’t great in Florida’s 27-3 victory over Vanderbilt on Saturday night. He completed 15 of 20 passes for 208 yards with one touchdown and ran for 27 yards with one score. In nine games, Tebow has passed for 1,531 yards with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions and run for 578 yards with nine scores.
Colt McCoy, Texas McCoy is coming off his best game of the season, completing 33 of 42 passes for a career-high 470 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the No. 3 Longhorns’ 35-3 rout of Central Florida. An even bigger stat: he has 41 career victories, one shy of tying former Georgia quarterback David Greene’s NCAA record of 42 career victories.
C.J. Spiller, Clemson Spiller is coming on strong, but it’s a shame he was banged up earlier in the season and that his immense talents weren’t showcased. Spiller ran for a career-high 165 yards and had 312 all-purpose yards in the Tigers’ 40-24 victory over Florida State. His 58-yard touchdown catch against the Seminoles was his 20th career touchdown of 50 yards or more.
Yes, it’s that time to wax poetical or at least talk a lot of trash about how the Bowls games will turn out. It’s not unusual for fans to become upset but then again I would be doing me job if everybody was happy.
To start off, which of these two teams are likely to be snubbed? Undefeated TCU (6) or Boise State (7)… only one will be be guaranteed a spot among the five bowl games that mean anything.
While the Bronco’s don’t have a huge fan base or members in college elite membership they are still matter where it counts…the football field. So they are my pick for being passed over. What a shame.
Here is what is likely to happen ( If I can be so bold). The SEC champion will play Texas. Yeah I know…no big surprise there.
Following that bowl bids would got to the champions of the Pac-10 (Oregon), Big Ten (Ohio State), ACC (Georgia Tech) and Big East (Cincinnati). The SEC runner-up would be a shoe-in for a bowl somewhere.
So there…my picks. Though we still have 4 more weeks to play and perhaps an upset or two. Who knows?? This is college football after all.
With the BCS rankings out this week Alabama moved to # 2 right behind ever the dominant Florida Gators. Of course this has all the makings of a classic showdown for the SEC championship. For college football fans this is like having your cake ( SEC match-up) and eating it too ( BCS bowl game).
Of course of the trick is how to keep your teams focused and play. Questions which both the Gators and Alabama must contend with. As for the fans it’s a dream match up. So get your team colors on and show your support!
