I know it's a distant memory by now but the BCS game was a disappointment. The commentators were SO bad, my friends and I shut off the volume and tuned into ESPN radio to listen to Herbstreet and Corso call the game. The officiating was horrendous too. Referees have the power to completely ruin a game with their calls and 'reviews'. Part of the reason why I like College over pro besides not having to see the long hair coming out of the helmet, is the referrees usually let the players play the game. In pro, every incomplete pass is pass interference.
Oh well, that's a wrap.
This was one heck of a QB class this year. You really have no idea how these guys are going to do in the league. The first hit Tebow takes from a maniac like Ray Lewis (in 2 years) when he tries some QB sneak play will have him seeing stars. Running QB's don't last long in the pros. Another major difference is most of these guys operate out of the shotgun where pro is two step drop and a frozen rope downfield. I also believe that a lot of these guys have no idea what it's like to play in the cold weather when they play in the SEC and Big 12. That's one advantage the Big 10 has in projecting players. It's like when guys say there's no difference between hitting with a wood bat and aluminum bat. Yeah, and there's also no difference between playing in 20 degrees and 75 degrees right?
I disagree with the AP poll having Utah ranked second. Teams in the SEC and Big 12 are putting up every single week, they don't have the luxury of playing a UNLV, Wyoming, Air Force, Utah State or San Diego State in any of their division games with a non division game being against Weber State. But they beat Alabama, I guess that's the real feather in their cap.
It was a great season. I'm not losing sleep over a national championship playoff either. It is what it is and frankly, I'm tired of hearing people complain about it.
My top 5:
1. Florida
2. Texas
3. USC
4. Oklahoma
5. Utah
Heck of a season guys, heck of a season.
