Resolved Question: Updated 2010 first round mock draft with explanations, any questions?

I received some feedback on my mock on a real football forum that I post on, and adjusted the picks appropriately and gave explanations/justifications for each pick. Enjoy St. Louis Rams (1) Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska- Probably the best DT prospect since Warren Sapp. Strong, explosive, athletic and has perfect NFL technique, as close to a sure thing as there is in this draft. Detroit Lions (2) Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma- If not for Suh would be the premier defender in this draft. Similar skill set to Suh except uses a little more finesse and not as much raw power, and probably wouldn’t translate quite as well to 3-4 DE. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3) Eric Berry S Tennessee- The kind of playmaking ballhawk that you can build a defense around. Also a solid tackler, not many real holes in his game. Washington Redskins (4) Russell Okung LT Oklahoma State- If I were Shanahan & co. I’d look to trade down and stockpile a bunch of the second tier o-linemen, but Okung would give them a legit blindside blocker for whoever they put under center. Kansas City Chiefs (5) Rolando McClain ILB Alabama- Conventional wisdom dictates that this is too high for an inside linebacker, but McClain looks like he could be something special. If Aaron Curry could go top 3, I don’t see why McClain couldn’t go top 5. Seattle Seahawks (6) Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame- Matt Hasselbeck still has a year or two left in the tank, which is why now would be a good time to get their franchise QB. That year or two would go a long way in making sure that he’s prepared for the speed of the NFL. Cleveland Browns (7) Joe Haden CB Florida- So many holes, I just figured they’d go BPA. Also, the attention given to Darrelle Revis this year will probably raise the demand for potential shut down corners and lead to GMs and coaches looking for their own version of Revis Island. Oakland Raiders (8) Anthony Davis OT Rutgers- I’d be borderline shocked if Al Davis doesn’t pick some flashy, measurable-heavy guy like Derrick Morgan, but this would probably be the smartest pick. He’s versatile enough to play LT or RT, and has as high an upside as any OT in the draft. Buffalo Bills (9) Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma- I wouldn’t pick Bradford this high, but it wouldn’t shock me at all if Chan Gailey wants to go the flashy, high profile route and try to get their first legit franchise QB since Jim Kelly. Jacksonville Jaguars (10) Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech- The Jags could use some help up front on defense, and Morgan has the athleticism and explosiveness to be a force off the edge. Denver Broncos (11) Dan Williams NT Tennessee- I know its way early for Williams, but I didn’t want to bother with teams trading up and down, sorry, I’m lazy, and I want to at least pretend that I’m paying attention in class. Anyway, he’s arguably the best 3-4 NT in this class, and the kind of space-eater that the Broncos lack. Miami Dolphins (12) Sergio Kindle OLB Texas- At this point the best defensive player available. Versatile enough to play rush LB or strongside OLB in a 3-4 and could help out the ‘Fins on a few fronts. San Francisco 49ers (13) Bryan Bulaga OT Iowa- Maybe the best run blocker in this class, and would fill maybe the biggest hole on the entire 9ers team. Seattle Seahawks (14) Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma St.- After taking their franchise QB, they take his future best friend on the field and go-to receiver. If he played the whole season would have been a virtual top 10 lock, and still may go that high, but he ended up here for me. New York Giants (15) Earl Thomas S Texas- Maybe a little high, but the Giants could really use a ballhawk in the secondary to complement Kenny Phillips. Tennessee Titans (16) Brian Price DT UCLA- A great pass rusher and a high-motor guy and would fill the Titans need for an impact DT. San Francisco 49ers (17) C.J. Spiller HB Clemson- They already have one borderline elite RB and one very serviceable back, but Spiller is so dynamic and will make so many plays it’d be hard for them to pass him up. Pittsburgh Steelers (18) Mike Iupati OG Idaho- The Steelers obviously need to address the o-line, and the massive, mauling Iupati would give them a force to be reckoned with up front. Even though he didn’t look great at LT in the senior bowl, with some work he could end up there, and that’d be even better. Atlanta Falcons (19) Sean Weatherspoon OLB Missouri- Maybe the best 4-3 OLB in this class, and versatile enough to play any of the 3 LB positions. Could start right away and would inject some real talent into their LB corps. He’d also learn a lot from Mike Peterson while he’s on his way out. Houston Texans (20) Donovan Warren CB Michigan- Warren might be a reach at 20, but the Texans desperately need a CB. He has tons of potential that he never quite lived up to at Michigan, and with some good coaching could be a very legit corner in this league. Cincinnati Bengals (21) Taylor Mays S USC- SCincinnati Bengals (21) Taylor Mays S USC- Safety is probably the biggest need for the Bengals, and Mays has so much potential he’d be hard to pass up. New England Patriots (22) Jason Pierre-Paul DE/OLB USF- The Pats need for a serious pass rusher was painfully evident (at least to Pats fans), and even though JPP only emerged this year he’s a great athlete and a real force. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pats coaching staff manages to get the most out of this kid. Green Bay Packers (23) Charles Brown LT USC- Anybody that paid the slightest bit of attention to the Pack this year knows that their most glaring need is the offensive line. Brown has the frame and athleticism of somebody like D’Brickashaw Ferguson, but isn’t quite as polished.Philadelphia Eagles (24) Brandon Graham DE Michigan- Not the most physically imposing or athletically impressive, but he just goes so hard and give 110% 110% of the time. I’m a Michigan fan so I’ve seen a lot of him and he’s done nothing but consistently blow me away with his play over the last year or two. Baltimore Ravens (25) Arrelious Benn WR Illinois- Uber-unproductive season dropped him out of the best WR conversation, but there’s no denying that the kid is a beast. Having a big time target like him would really help Flacco in his development, and with the emergence of Ray Rice would help give the Ravens a very balanced offense. Arizona Cardinals (26) Terrance Cody NT Alabama- Say what you want about his conditioning and work ethic, you can’t teach size, and with Bryan Robinson being 36 and Gabe Watson being a restricted free agent they could really use a force like Cody on the inside, and he would give them a legit NT for their transition to the 3-4.Dallas Cowboys (27) Bruce Campbell LT Maryland- Flozell Adams will be riding off into the sunset sooner rather than later, and Campbell looks like a more than adequate heir. San Diego Chargers (28) Jared Odrick DT (would obviously play DE in a 3-4) Penn State- Odrick would be a great bookend for Luis Castillo, and leave their line one good NT away from being top-notch. New York Jets (29) Jerry Hughes OLB TCU- By far the biggest need on the Jets D is for a pass rushing sack artist, and Jerry Hughes would hopefully be what Vernon Gholston was supposed to be. Minnesota Vikings (30) Brandon Spikes ILB Florida- No real glaring needs that couldn’t be plugged in middle-later rounds (unless Favre leaves), and at this point Spikes would be the BPA. He’d probably end up playing the outside in a 4-3.New Orleans Saints (31) Arthur Jones DT Syracuse- I could see them going with a DE like Carlos Dunlap or Everson Griffen, but Jones would give them the run stuffing DT that they lack, and is versatile enough to play the outside. Indianapolis Colts (32) Jason Fox LT Miami- No real glaring needs and you can never have too much depth on the o-line.New Orleans Saints (31) Arthur Jones DT Syracuse- I could see them going with a DE like Carlos Dunlap or Everson Griffen, but Jones would give them the run stuffing DT that they lack, and is versatile enough to play the outside. Indianapolis Colts (32) Jason Fox LT Miami- No real glaring needs and you can never have too much depth on the o-line.PiazzaJordan- You don't have to tell me that Clausen is the best QB in this class, but he's not worth a #1 overall. Games are won in the trenches, and Suh is that good.Since 1966- What Sergio Kindle from Texas have you been watching, and who has him as a 2nd rounder? The kid is a legit top 20 pick in a very deep OLB class. I'm not a Texas fan by any stretch (if anything I dislike them, I rooted for 'Bama in the Championship game). I'd go on about him, but you read my explanation. Also the way he played in the Championship game will do nothing but wonders for his draft status. more

Resolved Question: About the National Title Game?

Texas vs Alabama, Alabama came out on top, but im not a Texas fan, and im def. not a Alabama fan, but i realize both are good teams. but honestly, what does Alabama have to celebrate? they beat a team with a FRESHMAN QB that never played a college game in his life. WOWWWWW, So Great. The SEC has no class, i used to be a big SEC fan, but the teams get so lucky with everything. like that. And it just sickens me that they honestly can call the SEC the toughest conference in all of college football? seriously? how? they get lucky in all of their games against other conferences, but look at Virginia Tech and Tennessee, TECH OWNED THEM. and if it would have been mid season TECH could have beat bama, im sorry i just kinda rambled on but Alabama fans have no logic to why they are celebrating like they just beat the 18-0 New England Patriots, i promise you if Colt would have been in there the game would have been totally different.oh wow? back whenever they had 10000 more scholarships than anyone else? ROLL ELEPHANTS!your right Answer #4, but not everyone has to try and treat it like they beat the real texas team.terrible now? yeah.. but theyre are 4 or 5 teams that are coming along pretty good. the ACC is getting better every year.SEC POWERHOUSE TAKES DOWN FRESHMAN QUARTER BACK WITH NO EXPERIENCE. wow. right an article on that? id love to see Virginia Tech get another shot at bama, they would rip them APART. and Boise State could do the same.and you apparently didn't see alabama get lucky against tennessee either. more

I personally don't mind, as if there's a playoff, it would be more exciting, however they structure it.

Resolved Question: If Tom Cable gets fired (And I hope he does) Who should be the Oakland Raiders new head coach?

I'm a die hard Raiders fan and so far it been another disappointing season. We still don't have an offensive line, we still can't stop the run, and the team chemistry just keeps getting worse. I think Al Davis has a lot to do with it. He wants things his way and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Unlike Jed York who does what is best for the team. The 49ers have improved so much. The O line is good, the have one of the best defenses in the league and the team chemistry has improved so much. In a year or two they can be the NFC Version of the New England Patriots (This coming from a Raiders fan.) Personally, I want Al Davis to do what's best for the team and hire someone that can lead this team. Someone like Bill Cowher, Marty Schottenheimer, or Herm Edwards. an maybe hire Jim Zorn or Texas Tech former head coach Mike Leach as offensive coordinator or maybe even Charlie Weiss, who already has NFL Expierence as the former Offensive coordinator for the Patriots. Someone to help JaMarcus Russell reach his full potential. it's unfair that some people are already labeling him as a bust, when he has nobody to throw to. Also, he doesn't have an offensive line to protect him. It took Steve Young around 7 - 8 years to reach his potential and look at him now. Hall Fame Quarterback and 3 time Super Bowl champion, 2 time NFL MVP, and multi time pro bowler. I'm mean yeah he had probably the greatest quarterback ever to play the game of football, joe montanta to show him the ropes, but still it takes time for a quarterback to develop. Look how many year it took guys like Aaron Rodgers, Jake Delhomme, Carson Palmer,and even Alex Smith to play solidly. People say "Well, it didn't take guys like Joe Flacco, Tom Brady, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, and Jay Cutler that long to develop when they were rookies. That's different. Joe Flacco was already on a good team with a good offensive line. Flacco had guys like Adam Terry and Willie Anderson to protect him, he also had derrick mason and mark clayton to throw to. Tom Brady had mike compton and damien woody to protect him and also Troy Brown, Terry Glenn, and David Patten to throw to. Matt Ryan had guys like Wayne Gandy to protect him and he also had Michael Jenkins and Roddy White to throw to. Peyton Manning had Tarik Glenn to protect him and Marvin Harrisson to throw to. Carson Palmer had Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmanzadeh and also he had william anderson to protect him. those quarterbacks had good players around them, JaMarcus Russell doesn't. He only has Good running backs like Fargas, McFadden, and Michael Bush around him. Although , Johnny Lee Higgins isn't that bad, and Zach Miller is probably his only reliable target that he has. Louis Murphy isn't that bad also, DHB I don't know about him yet, still to early. I think that the only way for the raiders to be a great team again is for Al Davis to leave the team, but that won't happen in years. It's most likely that Tom Cable will be fired because of all the distractions he's cause this season (Choking and threatening his asst coach.,,etc....). If the raiders do indeed fire Tom Cable, who do you think should be the coach for the raiders? I think it should either be Cowher, Schottenheimer, or Herm Edwards. more

Resolved Question: No question...just facts..Texas Tech....feel free to chime in..?

If your not a Texas Tech fan, let me stop you now, because you really couldn't care less. WHAT TO LOOK FOR: Raider recruiting was pretty good, this is rumored to be the best recruiting class Tech has signed. Alot of talent coming to the defense as well as the offense has gained some more top pick players. We picked up a young gun from Denton, Texas who was a four star quarterback, Scotty Young. Delans Griffin from Clinton, Oklahoma this four star running back will add a little more dazzle to the run game. Rumor has it that Kadron Boone, from Ocala, Florida could be the next Michael Crabtree for the Raiders. The defense has loaded up on defensive ends with, Scott Smith from El Dorado, Kansas, Jackson Richards from Southlake, Texas, and Tre'Vante Porter from Mid West City, Oklahoma are all hghly recruited four stars pass rushers. A total of 6 four star players were recruited, and 18 three star players. I think we can only expect good things to come for our defense from Coach Ruffin McNeil. As long as the offense doesn't change up, with the arrival of a new head coach, the offense is reloaded to replace the key losses in the next couple of years. SHEFFIELD VS. POTTS: Both have great arms, and are capable of moving the raiders up and down the field, but which one is going to put more wins in the win column? My personal belief is to go with Steven Sheffield. He is more agile which is a plus, meaning he has the ability to move around and create time, allowing things to open up down field, or scrambling to avoid turnovers. Potts isn't so agile, when pressured he is sure to throw off his back foot and make rookie mistakes. I believe that Potts has the better arm, but Sheffield is more effecient and more accurate. In the end, depending on what happens from now to the beginning of the next football season, I am expecting an overall good season from the Red Raiders. I am expecting a 7-4 season, but am hoping for a GREAT season!! WRECK 'EM TECH!!! more

Resolved Question: Can we now put to rest that the SEC is the best conference?

Obviously theyve been way overrated. The Big Ten is the new star of college football.

Voting Question: Whats Your Opinion on the Tx. Tech & James' Family vs. Mike Leach situation?

SUBJECT: MIKE LEACH VS. TEXAS TECH UNIV. & JAMES FAMILY Now as a Raider fan, since I could remember first watching football, I am deeply shocked by the actions of Texas Tech against Coach Mike Leach. I thought it was extremely unfair and one-sided to fire Coach Leach as soon as they did without him being able to proove that he didn't do what he was being accused of. I have heard all of the news broadcast on the television, internet, word of mouth and so forth, but I still have a feeling that Mike Leach is innocent on this matter. I believe that, as Coach Leach and receivers coach, Coach Lincoln Riley, that they were to discipline Adam James for lack of effort at practice. He had a concussion and the coaches went forth with the reprimands. I think that Adam James didn't like the reprocussions of his actions, as he was walking around the field slowly with little effort in street clothes, hat backwards and with his sunglasses on. When he was told to go stand in the dark equipment garage, he was upset with his coaches saying, "they weren't doing their jobs as coaches...etc." The second time he was put in the media room at Jones Stadium, he was really angry and wanted to get back at Coach Leach. He walked into the electrical closet that was connected to the media room, and made his little 10 seconds of terror video.(check the video out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZW-vTsPV5A ) He told his daddy, Craig James, cried and showed him his cell phone video he made, and told his horrible story. Craig James had already been involved at Texas Tech's President, Chancellor, and Athletic Director, and position coaches, about why his boy wasn't getting more playing time, called the school and stirred everything up. I'm sure he used his job position at ESPN to get things moving in a quick fashion, and get to a happy ending. On the other hand, I am sure something happened and Tech ended up not wanting to fork out the money on the 12.7 million - 5 year extension on his contract. I think Texas Tech caught alot of flack from the Alumni about this and took a quick way out. Why is it that the best coach in Texas Tech football history, get fired on the first media attention situation? In the end, as a true Raider fan, you REALLY hate to see the guy who complete changed Tech football, and put them in the chase for the Big XII Championship every year. get fired over a spoiled rich kid, and his daddy with a big microphone, and a University that wants to be great at a cheap price. Hopefully, the next head coach doesn't come in and try to changes up the effecient pass attack offense and run us back down to a less than .500 ball club. WRECK 'EM TECH!!! KEEP THOSE GUNS UP!!!If you look at the videos of the rooms Leach had Adams at, you would see that both locations were pretty decent size rooms. Jails aren't even that big. The electrcial closet that James said he was put it was attached to the media room at Jones Stadium. The trainers were on the outside of the media room, and could not see James when he entered the smaller room and made his video. He was not "locked up in a cage." If James didn't want to be disciplined for lack of effort, he should try harder instead of trying to piggy back off of his daddy's name. You people are so quick to go with the poor little kid, when football is a tough physical sport, and coaches need to be able to discipline the kids in order for them to become a unit and play as a unit. The fact that he had a concussion was just conceidental, and he took that and ran with it. more

Resolved Question: Did Leach get a fair shake at Texas Tech?

Resolved Question: Did ESPN jump the gun by allowing Craig James to insult a college football coach?

All Iv'e been hearing is how the coach locked a kid in the closet. The people who told me this, heard it on ESPN, from what turns out to be the kids dad. Craig James. Yes the same Craig James who was on the SMU team with Eric Dickerson. Although he was cleared of wrong doing, doubt still remains of his innocence. Below is one opinion of the situation. One I agree with. Keep in mind while I have found out that it wasn't a closet, but rather the visiting teams media room. I don't know about the lock-up, except that James kid had a concussion, and a quiet dark place is the first thing doctors do with you. Mike Leach and a Coddled Generation Posted by Kate McKay on December 30, 2009 at 4:08pm in General Discussion View Discussions So Mike Leach, coach of Texas Tech, was fired today. At issue was an accusation by a player and his parents that the player, who had a mild concussion, was confined in a small, dark space for a few hours. There are two sides to the story, of course. But even if what happened is as bad as what the player says it is, all I can think is, "What's the big deal?" Whenever we talk on the main site about this generation being coddled and namby pamby, some will invariably challenge that assertion. Now we've talked about the danger in over romanticizing the past, and certainly not everyone of yesteryear was an ox, and everyone today is a wimp, but on average, this is a wimpier generation. I could fill many pages with anecdotes to prove my point. Here's one for example-I was just talking to my friend who is a professor who teaches classes to MBA students. He said that at least once a semester, a student's parents will email or call him about their "child's" grades, asking why they got what they got and whether they can do extra credit to bring it up. These are the future leaders of business! I teach community college and it's happened to me as well. I can't imagine not feeling ashamed to have you parents talk to your college professor! So now you have a player who gets his coach fired because he runs to his parents when he feels he's mistreated. Other players said the accuser had a poor work ethic and a poor attitude. To me it smacks of a case of a kid feeling entitled and lashing out when he doesn't get his way. And of course Mangino also got fired this year for also failing to be sensitive enough. I fear we're creating a generation that needs to be treated with kid gloves where everyone has to tip toe around to avoid offending someone and getting the axe. Notice, the coach has been accused, but not convicted. Isn't that what James say's about the SMU scandal. Has ESPN over stepped their boundaries in allowing one of their employees to slander a college football coach before the facts have played out?Do you think it's possible James is using his experience with slush funds to channel funds from ESPN to teams in the SEC, insuring their players are "Taken care of" ?Chang-When I was young my elders taught me that people tyhat hide behind a wall like, a post for instance, when they insult are yellow bastards. In your case I think it's true more

Resolved Question: Do you think we'll ever know Craig James' real involvement in the whole Texas Tech fiasco?

I've learned one thing in my life, and that is that there are three sides to every story. In the Texas Tech fiasco, James' version of events is no more reliable that Leach's version. This is not a defense of Leach, he is a complete idiot for doing what he did. But it's preposterous to buy James' line that he is "just a dad", and James is plenty crafty to use his position as a football commentator for the four letter network to advance his version. Will we ever get the third side of the story we need to get to the bottom of this mess? more

Right. I think him having a concussion is unrelated. This got him fired. I guess I'm just confused about the whole thing. more

Resolved Question: Who has heard about the College Football coach from Texas Tech?

Have you heard this story about Mike Leach from Texas Tech? Do you think its kind of odd that this story involves the son of an espn college football game analyst? What does this say about Texas Tech being involved in sometype of conspiracy to get out of a money contract? This Coach in my opinion, from what I have heard has done nothing wrong. He wasn't abusing this player mentally or physically and he wasnt isolating him as the player claims. What do you guys think about this? Will this make coaches around the nation look over their shoulder all the time and fear getting fired for any and everything imaginable? C'mon people, these are football players we are talking about. Has anyone had a concussion? I have had several and the last thing you want to do with a concussion is be around noise or a lot of light as this can lead to migranes and sickness. This is what happened allegedly. The coach had him in some type of dim lighted weight room with other trainers possible 2 to 3 other people. And this player claimed he was in total complete isolation in a completely dark room away from the team and other players. The doctor said that the coach did absolutely nothing to hurt this player by keeping him away from noise and light and that what the coach was doing would have only helped him. Do you think this is a matter of an opportunity to get a high profile network(espn) involved to get the tides turned in the universities favor? more

Resolved Question: What do you think are the ways Texas Tech will suffer for their decision to fire Coach Leach?

I've been listening to a local talk radio show where they are taking callers today. So many people are dropping their financial support for Texas Tech it's not even funny. Some of these people make contributions in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollar range every year. I heard that the father of one of the top recruits in Texas, a WR from Fort Worth Dunbar, said there is no way his son will be signing without Coach Leach being there. I have been talking to my son about playing there and recently communicated with Coach McNeill about him coming to camp there this next year. I'm not so sure now. I'm sure a lot of players and parents are seeing things in a different light. This move will harm Texas Tech through recruiting, financial support, and also through their ability to attract a good coaching staff in the future. I mean, what good coach would consider coming to Tech after this? Even if their were a good one who would entertain the thought of coming there, how long will it take the football team to get back on track with a new coach and all of the changes that will occur under a new coach? My son's friend Jackson is a Tech commit (WSDE). I don't know how he or his parents feel about this yet. I think this is a fatal mistake by the powers that be at Texas Tech. What do you think? In what other ways do you think Texas Tech will suffer for their decisions and actions in this situation? more

Resolved Question: Seperate from the Conferences, does college football have a very real and unspoken Tier system?

Tier 1: USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Alabama, Florida, Miami, Texas, Oklahoma. If these teams go undefeated they will go to a BCS championship game. If they have one loss, they very well may still be in the BCS championship game. Tier 2: Georgia, Pitt, WVU, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Oregon, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Auburn, South Carolina. If these teams are undefeated, they will very likely be in an National Championship game. If they have one loss, they are very much out of the picture. Tier 3: Cincinnati, Louisville, Rutgers, Iowa, Indiana, Duke, Maryland, Vanderbilt, Oregon State, Washington State... etc These teams won't sniff a National Championship, even if they go undefeated.Exactly Bam Bam. 123, You're missing the cruxt of the question. If 4 Tier 1 teams are undefeated, they'll pick two of them. You would need to compare if Michigan, Auburn and Georgia Tech were undefeated.

Resolved Question: Who are YOUR top ten teams in the NCAA next year?

It's a long time away, but I'm making my gambles already, and it's cool to think what the future just might hold. Agree or disagree with me I don't care, what are YOUR top ten teams of next year. 1) Alabama: Defense talented...Mountain Cody won't be their, but they have recruits that can do the same job...Mark Ingram is his name though. The sophomore RB for Bama will wreck havoc this year. He has power and speed, and is your perfect prototype at RB. He will help this team continue their quest for another BCS NC appearance, and anything less will be out of the question. Florida is losing most of their talent, it'll take a couple of years to grab Tim Tebow's and that entire defense again. I see Bama running it hard and playing old school football running the ball and using a powerful defense to seal games up. 2) Ohio State-They aren't losing much talent next year and will be loaded on defense and offense. I expect them to make a run at the NC next year. Looking at their schedule, they have only Miami to worry about knocking them out of NC picture. I don't think Penn State will give them a run for their money like last year. They have only four away games next year and should be favored in those easy match ups against Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. 3) Oregon: Jeramiah Masoli is a promising QB, but not as promising as the RB La Michael James, as he will be a sophomore next year. This guy no doubt will be in the heisman race do to his ability to run and hit it hard. Too short for the Texas teams, he went to Oregon and has managed 1,476 yards and 14 TD's his FRESHMAN year! He averages 6.9 yards a carry...he is going to be good. If defense can step up next year, this will be a hard team to beat next year. USC watch out again! 4) Miami (FL): Jacory Harris has been a pretty good QB this year, mediocre, but with experience under his belt and great receivers, I see him excelling next year. He will need to lower his INT's though if he wants to make contention though. I see the defense stepping it up a notch this year, and I expect a better running game. They have a pretty good season this year, and only a few more wins could get them into the ACC Championship and maybe more. 5) Cincinnati: Tony Pike is good, but I think Zach Collaros will be even better. He has completed 75% of his passes for 1,434 yards, 10 TD's and 2 INT's...what will he do when he plays full time? He will keep this offense going next year and maybe next time, the NC if they can go undefeated again. They have the talent on offense, defense will need to step up however. 6) TCU: Matthew Tucker is going to be a great RB next year. Only a freshman, he has a promising career ahead of him. He spells Joseph Turner, but has succeeded nicely. 667 yards, 10 yards and averaging 6.4 yards a carry, he could do well next season. The TCU defense has been good for a long time, regardless of new rosters. The running game will hit it's stride, and maybe come back on top. The program has been turned around and could be the best Texas team next season. 7) Virginia Tech: Ryan Williams, the RB redshirt freshman who has been under the radar ALL season long. 1,538 yards, 19 TD's and averaging 5.7 yards a carry. He is one of the best backs this season, but being has been overshadowed by many runningbacks this year. He should get his chance to shine next year. They almost beat Bama this year, and have some questionable games, they also need defense to step up to help his year, but I think they can manage. Miami will be a tough opponent as will Georgia Tech, we'll have to wait and see. 8) Nebraska: I realize losing DT Suh won't help their cause, but I see a strong showing from them next year. Defense kept them in their games, and they have a great chance to win it all next year with their powerful defense. Even without Suh they will be a force. They are loaded on defense for a couple of years, and if you can use just three to four guys and managed 9 sacks vs Texas while also keeping the receivers and running game in check...you're and awesome defense. I expect a lot from them next year. They NEED an offense, and I expect that to change next year too. Zac Lee hasn't shown he can move the ball, and 3 INT's against Texas didn't help his cause, but Cody Green just might be up for the job to help move the ball to their talented receivers. Rex Burkhead is a talented RB, I think this team will play old school football though, and ram it down their opponents throat tiring the defense...then turn it around and punish the offense with their own wicked defense. I expect at least a Big 12 Championship on their part. 9) LSU: Jorgan Jefferson is the QB for LSU, he hasn't made too much of a impact this year...but that's the good thing. 16 TD's and only 6 INT's have helped them this year. Not many expected them to even stay in or near the top 10, but have managed with close games to even Bama. T9) LSU: Jorgan Jefferson is the QB for LSU, he hasn't made too much of a impact this year...but that's the good thing. 16 TD's and only 6 INT's have helped them this year. Not many expected them to even stay in or near the top 10, but have managed with close games to even Bama. They have a rock solid defense, but the end of the year has them questioning about the defense. I believe they will stand up and Miles will help this team improve over the offseason. 10) Texas: This is my gamble...this can and cannot happen. I see Texas coming what Nebraska is this year. Hard nosed defense, which will be outstanding next year. They aren't losing much talent on the defensive side. Rodrick Muckleroy and Lamarr Houston will be missed, Sergio kindle won't be...he did surprising poorly...but we have some very promising DE's an LB's right behind them. The Acho Brothers look the wreck havoc again this year, and Alex Okafor I expect to become the next future at DE. Earl Thomas and BBlake Giddeon are both sophomore's...Thomas has already set a new Texas record with 9 INT's this season. The corners stay as well...Defense will help us win games...offense....did you know we are losing everyone this year on offense? Colt, Jordan, the entire offensive line...which QB will step up next year? Who's the RB? Tre Newton has showed promise, but so has Cody Johnson. Dan Buckner and Malcolm Williams have the most starts this year...they'll have to become more consistent to help this defense out...the o-line will have to be rebuilt, and the running game needs to pick up too. I see this team becoming very conservative on offense, aggresive on defense. If the offense can help. I see only 1 or 2 loses next year...one of those loses at Nebraska and the other vs a letdown game... more

Resolved Question: What are YOUR personal top 5 or 6 rankings if this happens in the BCS bowls?

First off, I am in no way saying that this will happen but I am curious to see how people rank them. "Fictional" BCS National Championship- Texas barely defeats Alabama, a controversial bad call was the deciding factor. Fiesta Bowl- Boise State blows out TCU. Sugar Bowl- Cincinnati loses to Florida in OT. Rose Bowl- Oregon defeats Ohio State by 10 points. Orange Bowl-Iowa defeats Georgia Tech. The story lines would be: Texas - Shaky wins over every decent team they played but they are a big name school and they did go 14-0 through the Big 12 and bowl season. Boise State - Handily won every game against solid competition during the season AKA Oregon, Nevada (when they were on a 8 game winning streak & had the nations #1 ranked rushing offense) and TCU. A side note would be the fact that on top of winning a BCS bowl they also beat another BCS bowl champion during their 14-0 season. Yes Boise Stat would be a victim of school prestige in that they get blamed for being in the WAC even though they have no choice (the PAC 10 and Big 12 do not want them because they are only good at football and their academics are not prestigious enough). Florida- Only loss was to a good Alabama team but a tight win over Cincinnati may or may not be impressive to you. Tebow showed heart in the game that will be remembered as a disappointing bowl bid for a team as stacked as Florida. 13-1 TCU- Great season with wins over 3 ranked teams but a season ending blow out loss to Boise State showed both the let down of being left out of the National Championship game for no good reason (ask Alabama exactly how much they cared about the Sugar bowl last year when the team was talking BCS championship before the loss in the SEC finals) and that Boise States quick strike offense if for real. 12-1 Record. Oregon- Would be wishing it could go back in time and erase the smack down Boise State gave them after winning the Rose Bowl.Thank you all for the excellent answers. I was trying to prove that under no circumstance could Boise State win the AP national title or even sway impartial voters such as yourself. Essentially we all just proved that the system is broken.... ALL 120 FBS are supposed to be given a shot at the BCS title. P.S. Blaming a school for its conference is like blaming a person for their ehtnicity, you can't just change it. more
