The college football regular season has come to a close and the bowl season is fast approaching. We think everything is settled but there are a few questions that need to be answered before we close the book on the 2009 season.
Who will coach at Notre Dame?
This answer seems well in hand as I write this and it looks like Cincinnati's Brian Kelly will be the guy to lead the golden domers next season but is he the right choice? Bigger names are out there (Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, Stanford's Jim Harbaugh to name a few) but all have said no thanks to the job. So who is left? There is one person that Notre Dame should look at and no one has spoke of his name....The coach that Notre Dame should hire is none other then the Messiah himself, Jesus Christ. Look at the positives with this hire. 1) You know he'd be faithful to the Notre Dame's teachings and the school's way of life. 2) He could perform "miracles" and get the best recruits in the country (If Jesus was coaching Notre Dame 4 years ago, Tim Tebow would be more a living legend then he is now and probably would have won 3 Heisman's for the Irish). 3) He's Jesus Christ...what else do you need to know? Done and done.
Who will win this year's Heisman Trophy?
This one is not as simple as the coaching situation at Notre Dame. In my eyes there are only three players out of the five that were invited that have a chance of winning the award. Those three that have a chance are the following: Stanford runningback Toby Gerhart, Alabama runningback Mark Ingram and Nebraska defensive end Kdamukong Suh. Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy had decent years but to be a Heisman winner you have to be extraordinary for that season, something both of the qb's were not. So that leaves us with the three that I previously mentioned. So who wins? Touchdown Toby ended the season with 1,700+ yards and 26 touchdowns...miiiighty impressive. Mark Ingram carried his team to a 13-0 record and saved his best game for the SEC Championship game with 3 td's and 100+ yards. BUT....if I had a vote (which I should, I mean seriously) I would now vote for the big guy from Nebraska. The guy has 12.5 sacks from an interior lineman position which is unheard of. Even more unheard of is that he leads his team in tackles with 82. 82 tackles from a D tackle. That is just stupid. Stupid enough to win the trophy that recognizes the top player in the country.
Who will win the National Championship game?
Alabama. Did you watch them play Florida? Did you watch Texas play Nebraska? If not, then you are reading a blog that has no relevance to you. If so, you know why I am picking Alabama.
Who will win the Insight.com Bowl?
Oh you don't care about who wins between the 6-6 Minnesota Golden Gophers and the 6-6 Iowa State Cyclones? Well, I don't really either. It's a lose lose really. But, naturally I'd like to see the Gophers score a touchdown. That's all. Is that too much to ask?
Will there ever be a playoff in college football?
I sure as hell hope so. I stumbled across an article that someone wrote for Yahoo.com that laid out a very nice foundation for what a playoff would look like. Instead of the popular 8 team bracket this guy had a 16 team bracket that included all 11 FBS conference champions and 5 "at-large" teams. This would be very interesting and I think would please everyone involved. Too bad that it will never happen because the AD's and those types will never forgo the bowl system that is in place now. Especially when they pair two non-BCS schools together in a BCS bowl instead of having Iowa play Bosie St. in the Fiesta Bowl and TCU play Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl. Lame FBS. Lame.
You have your answers to the questions I know you are asking yourself. No need to thank me.
