Jeanty's season matches up pretty well with MGIII's 2014 season. And Jeanty did it against lesser competition.Quote:

point taken and Gordon is one of my favorite players of all time and i watched his 2014 highlights religiously but i give Jeanty the edge for a few reasons:Quote:

Its not close. The comparison that holds water is how much better of a season Jeanty has had than any RB in recent history to win the heisman.Quote:

I also think that Jeanty had a better year than MGIII- he was more consistently great. Every game he showed up and was the player of the game, while MGIII had a couple stinkers in his season to go along with that 400yd performance.
But, can you name anyone who was a top 5 player in all of CFB on both sides of the ball? Other than Hunter? Youd likely have to go back to leather helmets for anyone to compare to. With Jeanty, you just have to go back to 2014 for a comparison.
Champ Bailey would have been a top 5 receiver had he logged more snaps.
and assuming that your hypothesis had come true, had he played full time on both sides of the ball and been a top 5 receiver, he probably would have won the Heisman.Quote:

All that said, the player who was (and still is for that matter) visually the best athlete on the field, looking like he is playing down a level, is Lamar Jackson. The guy was and is a cheat code.
Random Question- does that ASU running back have tourettes? He seems to have a weird headshake-tick, and i cant tell if its tourettes, or he is just a little crazy. he runs like he is a little crazy.
Remember how much Rickly loved the weed?Quote:

Champ is a phenomenol athlete but his success on the offensive side was limited. He's so fucking quick it was like he couldn't slow down to wait for the football and that often resulted in dropped passes. Not saying it to argue, as I'm a big fan and wish it were true.Quote:

More reasons to root for BSU or Oregon (lol at tOSU and Penn State)! From the Athletic:

^^that is fucking insane!
LOL. All that money just to have Ryan Day lose to Michigan 5 years in a row.
thats nothing, the guy who coached sam houston, a small texas college that was fcs until 2 years ago; was making 815k yearly before sam houston went fbs. an fcs coach making 815k ? college football is semi pro ball, anyone telling you its got something special over the nfl now is delusional.Quote:

Predict your upset here before the action starts tonight.
One of my good friends and I have a real grudge match betting college football. I've looked at this bracket a hundred times and come away with very little insight each time. I could honestly see the whole thing going as seeded down to the last game.
Tonight's action I think is very indicitive of the major themes of the whole season. Two team with a lot of wins who have played very little competition. Notre Dame has a slightly better strength of schedule, but they had that early season slip up. Indiana has beat everyone they "should" beat and lost to big to the only ranked rival they've played.
Seems the Big10 everyone dominated nobody and the SEC beat their brains against each other and muddied the water. Screams parity which is really what we're after, but who wins?
If I had to pick upsets I think I go with Indiana and Tennessee for the first round, confidence zero. Home field is tilting both of those back the other way.
Just chiming in to say I hope ND curb stomps Indiana. IRISH.
No rooting interests this weekend but asking Santa for the jolly holiday cheer of a home upset. Trying to decide whether penn state or Ohio state would be funnier.
Got your wish!Quote:

I’m going with Tennessee. I think tOSU is better but their o-line is very injured which poor timing. I think Penn St rolls as does Texas.
ND very well could beat Georgia. Just depends on which Georgia shows up.

I’ll be there to see the Bulldogs backup QB shit the bed as well. IRISH.Quote:

The ACC LOL
Ohio State will either blow them out of the water or epically fail completely, and I have no idea which one it will be.
I think Ohio state takes care of em.
The real question; will ewers get benched for manning?
Doesn’t matter who their QB is. Our D is legit. Full stop.Quote:
