BCS, Heisman breakdown

(3)Cincinnati

(6)Boise St.
	(1)Alabama
		national championship matchup
	(2) Texas
(4)TCU
	winner
(5)Florida

^^This is how I (along with many others) feel the National Championship in college football should be decided. These are the top six teams in the BCS rankings (the number next to each team indicates their ranking). In a perfect world where championships are decided by performance and not money, this is how a national champion would be crowned. Texas and Alabama would automatically receive byes into the semi-finals, and the mid-majors (TCU and Boise State) would have an equal shot at the title by facing Florida and Cincinnati in the first round.

Unfortunately, the BCS has yet again left me displeased. TCU, Boise State, and Cincinnati are being punished and not given a shot at the title, despite the fact that all three finished the regular season unbeaten. It just doesn't make sense to me, and I'm hoping that the controversy and chaos resulting from this bowl season are enough to evoke changes for next year.

- Alright, so enough with the crappy BCS system. Let's talk about the Heisman Trophy, and who should win it this year:

1. Toby Gerhart, Stanford RB

- "White Thunder" has amassed some crazy stats this season - 1,736 yards rushing, 26 TD's, and a rushing average of better than five yards per carry. Gerhart has been consistent all season long, and thats what separates him from McCoy in my book. His bruising running style is awesome to watch, and he shined in Stanford's biggest games this season. If it were up to me, I'd hand the Heisman to Gerhart.

2. Colt McCoy, Texas QB

- McCoy had a sub-par Big-12 title game, but he has still amassed impressive stats this season (70% completion percentage, 3500 passing yards, 27 TD's). His performance two weeks ago against rival Texas A&M was sensational (479 total yards, 5 TD's) and made him the frontrunner in my mind. However, his inconsistency this season and clunker in the Big-12 title game leaves him at #2 on my list.

3. Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska DT

- Here's why Suh is in my top three: In Nebraska's biggest game of the year, Suh registered 4.5 sacks, and tallied 7 tackles for loss. Yeah, those are really good numbers, but what makes them more insane is the fact that they were against Texas, one of the top two teams in the nation. Texas had time to gameplan for Suh, they had time to watch tape, they had time to figure out how to double and triple team the man listed #1 on Mel Kiper's NFL Draft Big Board, and they still couldn't stop him. But make no mistake, Suh has been a beast all season, tallying 82 tackles and 12.5 sacks.
