Gerhart>Ingram for heisman

It's always hard to figure the Heisman...I guess because it's technically an MVP trophy so it can be hard to predict who it goes to as it can very easily be interpreted individually...also makes it so that the best player in college doesn't always win. Actually when Tebow won the Heisman didn't Colt Brennan actually win the award for best QB?

Ingram seems to still be the favorite but there are a lot of players who could win it...

I was holding my breath forthe last 12 minutes of that game...I won't say I predicted Georgia to beat Tech but I did have a good feeling coming into the game....BRAGGIN RIGHTS!

Florida actually looked like the #1 team today against Florida State
while six ranked teams didn't fare well today.
Georgia 30 @ #7 Georgia Tech 24
#9 Pittsburgh 16 @ West Virginia 19
#12 Oklahoma State 0 @ Oklahoma 27
Arkansas 30 @ #15 LSU 33 in OT
#18 Clemson 17 @ South Carolina 34
#21 Utah 23 @ #19 BYU 26 in OT
#24 North Carolina 27 @ North Carolina State 28
#25 Mississippi 27 @ Mississippi State 41
Tennessee 30 @ Kentucky 24 in OT
Notre Dame 38 @ Stanford 45
Nebraska 28 @ Colorado 20

It was probably Florida's best game to date but FSU definitely let them get away with a few.

Best Game: I know I'm biased but have to stick with Georgia over Georgia Tech...I have to admit this feels like the best win we've gotten since Florida 07 and the best tasting victory against Tech for as log as I remember. I hate to admit it, but I might have to thank them for beating us last year I had forgotten what it feels like tonot feel we had the game the bag before it began. I guess you beat a team enough times in a rowyou just get overused to it and that victory loses a little bit of meaning.

Colt McCoy passing for 302 yards and 4 touchdowns with no interceptions while rushing for 175 yards
and another touchdown on 18 carries against Texas A&M was also a very special performance.

It certainly was, I just feel like Colt McCoy sort of mailed it in on several occasions this season and could have been putting up a much better overall performance over the course of this entire season than he did.

I think my last response on the Heisman was my way of saying I no longer really know who I think should win it.

And from looking at the MWC board, the Ute fans and BYU fans are at each other's throats over this latest game in their rivalry.

I have to admit I didnt think you bulldogs could do it, but I was glad I watched you do it. Well done

Thank you. It's always godo to have braggin rights for another year.

There isn't much sweeter than knocking off a ranked rival.

I knew Georgia was capable, but I had doubts they could get it done.
It's been a roller coaster ride this season for the Bulldogs and one of
the few constants has been their inconsistency.

That and turnovers though we did better with turnovers tonight.

Yeah well that happens when you take the game out of Joe Cox's hands... oops did I just say that

Total BS

Ingram's a good player. Gerhart, however, is a stud. (And you have more excuses for Ingram than I've heard in a long time...)

Speaking of that did you notice that Tebow called his number alot? Probably because he knew McCoy was in the lead with that preformance. And the funnier part? Two penalties on him in two plays. First was Illegal Forward Pass-5 yard penalty and loss of down. Second was Personal Foul Facemask-15 yard penalty that adds to a turnover with his fumble.

Tim Tebow played great in his final Gator game at the Swamp,
which was really no surprise at all as he has made a habit
of coming up big in big games.

Florida's star player, Dunlap, was arrested last night for DUI. He was found asleep at a green light

It's kind of hard for me to pick the winner of the SEC Championship. I initially said Alabama and I am sticking to it as I think they are the better overall team but I also think that Florida matches up to them very well. I guess my final prediction, Alabama by 3.

Wow. That Oregon vs Oregon State game was awesome. Best game I've seen in a while.

And here I missed it

IF the Heisman Trophy is awarded to College Football's best player this year
will it be Toby Gerhart of Stanford?

• Gerhart has faced six of the top 46 rushing defenses and gained at least 123 yards against five of them. His low against those six teams was 96 yards against Oregon State. In those six games, Gerhart gained 881 yards and ran for 14 TDs. That average of 146.8 YPG is actually higher than his overall season average of 144.7 YPG.
  
• Gerhart has finished strong. In his last four games, three of which came against teams currently ranked in the AP Top 20, Gerhart rushed for 742 yards (185.5 YPG) and 12 TDs.
  
• McCoy also has finished strong but in his last four games, Texas faced zero ranked teams -- two teams that went 1-7 in the Big 12 (Baylor and Kansas) along with Texas A&M and UCF (which are 111th and 112th nationally in pass defense).
  
• Tebow has finished strong in his last five games but, again, none of those five opponents are ranked. The stretch consisted of Georgia (10th in SEC in scoring defense), Vanderbilt (2-10, winless in SEC), South Carolina, FIU (119th in nation in total defense) and Florida State (108th in nation in total defense).
  
• In each of the last seven games, Gerhart has rushed for more, individually, than the opposing team has allowed against all other opponents. Some of the highlights: Gerhart gained 178 yards on a USC defense that has allowed 116.5 rush YPG vs all other teams. He gained 223 yards on an Oregon team which has allowed 118.3 rush YPG vs everyone else.
  
• Gerhart was at his best when he played the best. In four games against teams currently ranked, Gerhart rushed for 158.3 YPG and 12 TDs (against unranked teams, Gerhart ran for 137.9 YPG).
  
• Texas has faced only one team currently ranked this season (No. 22 Oklahoma State). McCoy threw for 171 yards on 16-of-21 passing and a TD in a game which the Texas defense/special teams accounted for two TDs.
  
• Florida has also faced only one ranked opponent this year (No. 15 LSU). Tebow was 11-16 for 134 yards with a TD and Int, though that was his first game following a concussion suffered at Kentucky.
  
• Gerhart didn’t pad his stats against bad teams. Against Washington State and San Jose State (two of the five worst rush defenses in the country), Gerhart gained “only” 121 and 113 yards – figures which represent two of his four lowest rushing totals this season.
  
• 19 of Colt McCoy’s 27 TD passes and four of his five best passing games have come against teams which currently do not have a winning record. Against opponents with winning records, he's thrown for eight TDs and five Ints.
  
• Tim Tebow’s last two games accounted for two of his three highest offensive outputs of the season (311 vs FSU, 317 vs FIU). As mentioned above, those teams are in the bottom 13 nationally in total defense.
  
• Stanford faced only one team from a non-AQ conference this season (San Jose State). The other two non-conference opponents were Wake Forest (ACC) and Notre Dame. Stanford also faced nine Pac-10 opponents. Texas’ four non-conference opponents were UL-Monroe, Troy, UTEP and UCF – all from non-AQ conferences. Florida’s four non-conference opponents were Charleston Southern, Troy, Florida International and Florida State – three of which are from non-AQ conferences.
  
• The only comparison Gerhart loses? Florida and Texas are undefeated, while Stanford has four losses. Yet the losses weren’t Gerhart’s fault. In them, he ran for 109.3 YPG and 8 TD, while Stanford’s defense allowed 34.8 PPG. Tebow and McCoy had the luxury of playing with the No. 1 and No. 5 total defense (Stanford is 85th) and the No. 1 and No. 9 scoring defense (Stanford is 65th).

Cincy at Pitt with snow coming down all game was another one. The Bearcats come back from a 3 touchdown deficit and score a TD with 0:33 on the clock for their only lead of the day.

With the score tied at 38... Pitt scored a TD with a little over a minute to play
and the extra point attempt failed when the holder lost his grip on the ball to
make it a 44-38 ballgame.
