Matt Ryan (really under the radar) and Eli should be up there. I don't think Orton will/should win but he's probably top 10 at this point. AP isn't high on my list as of now, but he's AP, so that could change.

Even with steroids a 1.241 OPS for Bonds is ridiculous. I'm also somewhat surprised Wood had the best H/9 of the decade.

Why are the Raiders trading McFadden? They've apparently made everyone available except Asomugha. Good luck trying to trade Asomugha's massive contract anyway.

probably closer to 95 Actually it's around 70%. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3276/3030395235_6bc712693d.jpg?v=0

I believe only one small-conference team is guaranteed a bid. I remember this discussion going on when BSU was undefeated last year (which seems like eons ago, being that we're 0-7, but anyway) and that's the way I think it goes. ND is factored in with the big boys so them getting in wouldn't keep both TCU and Boise out, but I believe only one of them can get in automatically. Boise was eligible last year I believe but since Utah was already in, Boise was not taken. That's my recollection from last year's Utah, BSU, & BSU discussions. Only one team from a non-BCS conference gets an automatic bid regardless of how many qualify. I remember there was a scenario where a second non-BCS team COULD get a bid (I think it had to do with how many second place teams from BCS conferences qualify), but it's not automatic. Here's a link to the BCS selection procedures: http://www.bcsfootball.org/bcsfb/eligibility The not-so short version is ND is automatic if they're top 8 (ND-specific rule) and at-large eligible if they're top 14 with 9 wins (same criteria for everyone else). One non-BCS+ND team is automatic if they finish top 12 or top 16 and better than a BCS champ. Other non-BCS teams can be selected as an at-large, but they would either need to be selected over a BCS team or be the only team eligible to be selected with the last at-large pick. Because of the two per conference rule, that means you would have 6 BCS champs, 2 at larges from 2 BCS conferences, an automatic non-BCS team, and another non-BCS team in the top 14. Basically 4 BCS conferences would have to have no at-large candidates (non-champions) in the top 14 (no ND either). It was within the realm of possibility for a while last year when the SEC and Big XII were dominating, but it's very unlikely.

I'm still trying to figure out how receivers aren't wide open after he runs around for 10 seconds every play. He definitely has potential though. Edit: Doesn't matter, lol.

Roethlisberger: 63.4% completion percentage/109:74 TD:INT/90.5 rating/12.5 y/c Garcia: 61.6% completion percentage/161:83 TD:INT/87.5 rating/11.3 y/c Very similar career numbers with Ben having a better completion percentage and rating, but Garcia a better TD:INT ratio. Saying only because of age is wrong, but that's the biggest difference between the two at this point. Both have decent mobility as well, but neither has been a real running threat. Also worth noting that Garcia is pretty good at avoiding sacks and Roethlisberger is awful. Part of that might be his line, but he holds onto the ball forever. That said, Ben's been very good this year, and I'm guessing there's a reason Garcia doesn't have a job, so I'd take Ben easily. Warner is 10th in both DYAR and DVOA, so I wouldn't call him done either. Anyone who's career stats I can easily confuse with Tom Brady is welcome on my team.

I'm pretty sure Feagles was in it. Yes, Feagles (Eagles), Carney, and Seau (both Chargers) are correct. Fred Taylor is like 150 in running back years but he and Sharper are only 33. Dave Binn has apparently been in the league since 94, which is a long time for someone I've never heard of. Turk missed by a couple of years as well, and Stover was in the league in 1990, but not starting yet.

Carney is one. Favre was in the league but third string w/ the Falcons, so he wasn't in. Nope.

Junior Seau unretired (again) and signed with the Patriots (again). Vinny Testaverde would be proud. Random fact to show how old he is: Seau was in the NES version of Tecmo Super Bowl, which came out in 1991. Bonus points if you know the other two active players from that game.

If you don't like defensive struggles, or defense at all, turn on FSU-GT. 28-28 with 4:10 to go in the 1st half. First to 70 wins.

Les Miles goes for it on every 4th down ever and he kicks a FG from the one.

ISU is more like the Nationals of College Football. Haven't won a conference (or division) championship since like 1913. Goes through long periods of awfulness. Collapses when they're close to winning anything important. Finds new and innovative ways to lose every year (much worse than today). I'd say the Cubs comparison is accurate.

They had an overthrow on 4th down last year to get into GW FG range against Kansas too.

Easiest perdiction ever.

If he didn't run at the cb it might've worked.

Holy crap a stop. ISU lives!

Pass defense is not something ISU specializes in.

3 and out, that's probably the game.

THE PAT IS GOOD!!!

I don't think ISU is stopping KU again, need to keep scoring.

TD ISU!!! No PAT this time, 2pt conversion good, 23-20.

20-15 Kansas. That's right, ISU finally converted a kick. This is probably the best the offense has looked this year.

Kansas actually made a PAT, which is so unprecedented that it broke Versus' signal.

did they miss that PAT or was it blocked? Missed it to the left. I really don't know what to say anymore. Might be time to hold open tryouts or something like Texas Tech did last year. The thing is he's a really good kicker, or at least has been. INT ISU! Starting to get good.
