And I know it sounds like I'm *****ing, but I'm just really confused in how the hell the guys over at Rivals pull this %$%# out of their @!+.

Like Dirk said, there's is absolutely no consistency in how they drop players based on "subpar" statistical performances.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Looks like Cody Riggs made a nice little drop after them Byrnes WR's went bombs away on him...

 

[N41D]

Playing next to Anthony Wallace probably doesn't help Nelson's cause... Nelson is a great looking prospect but Wallace is on another level...

 

[fear the ibis]

Stats don't matter. They judge players on talent and potential. I've seen players that weren't even starters on their own team be highly rated.Players who have missed their entire senior year because of injury or something. Ray Ray was a 5star safety coming out and he barely even played safety in HS.He was a damn QB in high school.

So if a player dropped in the rankings, it's not because of stats. It's because they don't think he's that good. Or somebody else is better.

To be fair, the A&M Rivals guy did say the reason he was given is because his stats are down and he's not making as many plays as he didlast year...

I'm really impressed with BYU's recruiting class.

They're hanging in there with a solid top 15-25 class (at this point anyways). It's crazy to see a MWC team up there that high.

[/td] [/tr][/table]

The champions of selected conferences are contractually committed to certain bowls, unless they are No. 1 or No. 2. (ACC: Orange; Big Ten: Rose; Big 12: Fiesta; Pac-10: Rose; SEC: Sugar). If a Bowl loses a host team to the title game, then the bowl gets first choice at a replacement team. The rest of the selection order for 2010 is as follows: Orange, Fiesta, Sugar.

One champion from C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, Sun Belt or WAC will earn an automatic berth in a BCS bowl game if either: A. Such team is ranked in the top 12 of the final BCS Standings, or, B. Such team is ranked in the top 16 of the final BCS Standings and its ranking in the final BCS Standings is higher than that of a champion of a conference that has an annual automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls.

Heisman race right now is kinda weird, ain't it?

Tebow and McCoy really aren't throwing up crazy numbers... Bradford fell out of the pack...

From that top group of teams the guy that kinda jumps out is Ingram, but even he's just barely Top 10 in the country in rushing...

1 loss.

and have you watched him play? he's been the best QB in cfb this year.

If he can beat USC, it'll be his to lose. lucky for them, they dodge Floyd once again.

Tebow went 8-4 and won the heisman

Tebow went 8-4 and won the heisman

and he had no business winning that heisman too
the last 20 yrs, there has never been a Heisman trophy go to a QB with that kinda garbage record.
that was darren Mcfaddens trophy and thats a damn shame.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Just saying, there is precedence

Tebow wasn't even the best player on his squad

 

[gunna get it]

I know what ur saying. He just should not have won the heisman.

All I know is unless McCoy starts balling his $++ off, he shouldn't win the Heisman. And Tebow damn sure shouldn't win it; Tyrod Taylor has betternumbers than Tebow does so far(and he definitely doesn't belong in the discussion).

IMO unless some QB steps it up huge over the rest of the season, it should go to Ndabwaoeif Suh. IMO he's the best defensive player in the country. Hestraight up took over the game against Missouri, and he DOMINATED against us and would have been the reason they won if not for our miracle finish. I think hehad a couple sacks and like 4 batted passes. Just filthy.

Far from it, in my opinion. As far as making plays for his team, I'd argue a number of other QBs do much more than he does.

And his stats aren't an accurate reflection of HIS play. All of those weapons around him turn 5-10 yard slants into 50 yard plays. I'm not arguing hebelongs in the conversation, I just don't understand how all of these analysts can claim hes the unanimous #2 (or even leader if you listen to somepeople.)

And how is Erick Decker nowhere to be seen on most of these experts lists?

Agreed on McCoy and Tebow...

And it's early, but if ever there was a year for a defensive player to step up and win it, right now is looking like a good one...

Dude throws more Bombs and deep routes than ANYONE.

Right? And I don't think I've seen a QB this yearthat throws the deep ball better than Jimmy has...
