Who is the best QB in the nation?

Dennis Dixon-Oregon: The Ducks starting QB has made a name for himself this season. All the games this senior has played this season have been remarkable. The Ducks offense has scored and average of 48.5 points a game, with Dixon throwing for 11 TDs and ZERO INTs. Oregon has a great chance at beating #6 Cal this Saturday, and will be a well-rounded opponent for the October 27th game against USC. If the Ducks can win the PAC-10 conference, look to see Oregon playing for the national championship with Dennis Dixon leading the way.

Josh David Booty-USC: Booty, so far, has tossed for 9 TDs and 2 INTs and an astouding 70.4% completion percentage. After posting up 3,347 yards last season for the Trojans, Booty looks to not only put the spotlight back on USC, but to win the BCS National Championship Game. Booty has alot of talent around him that will help with this conquest. His real test of leadership skills will come in play the most against a tough Oregon and Cal later on in the season. Josh David Booty has the skills it takes to lead this huge USC program in the right direction; right onto the stage kissing that crystal football.

Brian Brohm-Louisville: The poor play recently was not contributed by Brian Brohm. Brohm, is second in the nation in passing yards, with 1,697, and 15 TDs. One of the most highly noted players coming into the season, and can be an easy number one selection in the NFL Draft. Brohm has led the Cardinals since he was a sophomore, even though battling with injuries his sophomore and junior season, he has been able to take the team to a BCS bowl game last season. Even though the Cardinals may not make it into a January bowl this year, Brian Brohm is still noted as one of the most fundamentally talented quarterbacks in college football.

Colt Brennan-Hawaii: Last season, this senior made his name heard in the WAC by throwing 58 TDs!! So far this season, Hawaii is undefeated and ranked 19th in the nation. In the first two games this season, Brennan threw for 964 yards and 10 TDs. Brennan no doubt has talent and is proving it with those crazy numbers he has been putting up. Brennan sat out last game due to an ankle injury, which doesn't look too serious because he was still suited up in case the Rainbow Warriors needed him. Colt Brennan has great vision and good decision making, which makes him a contender for the Heisman. Even though he plays in the WAC, Colt Brennan's game is not whack!

Tim Tebow-Florida: After last season, nobody was expecting anything less than another championship. The true-freshman showed that he can handle the big stage by scoring a rushing touchdown to put the game out of reach against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Tebow is now the lime-light quarterback for the Gators, after sharing the stage with Chris Leak last year, and is hoping to bring the Gators back to the promised land. Tebow has a passer rating of 197.96 with 10 TDs so far this season. This sophomore is one of the top 10 QBs in the NCAA, and still has at least one more year to prove to the NFL scouts that he is the guy to build their franchise around. He has a cannon for an arm and the build of a tightend. Before his tenure is up at Florida, he WILL be winning at least one more national championship for the Gators.

Who Is The Best QB In The Nation?

OVER-RATED!!

Colt Brennan: The most overrated player in the NCAA. Senior QB for Hawaii, that has been getting some Heisman hype since the end of last season. This season, he really has not shown hisself to his full potential, which will really bring down his rankings before the NFL Combine. Brennan has only thrown for 1262 yards so far through four games, and they play in the WAC! I respect his athletic ability but you need to really impress us if you want to have a chance at winning the Heisman. And the best way to win the Heisman is if you WIN BIG GAMES. The only big games Hawaii plays this season is the last two games, Boise State and Washington. This kid could be making some good money throwing the pigskin around on Sundays, but to say he is the best quarterback in the nation? No, Colt Brennan is definately OVER-RATED!!

The University of Texas at Austin: Wow, talk about a shocker, not really. I knew that Texas was going to be in terrible condition whenever he left to go play in the NFL. Now they have a guy named Colt McCoy who is not that bad of a player (he got a scholarship to UT-Austin) but he leads the team into tight situations, barely sqeaking past Arkansas State by 8 points, and Central Florida by 3 and they are still ranked #7 in America. Texas has alot of talent on the field, but if they are going to be playing in games, where all they have to do is to show up and they'll win, they should be tacking on some points to add to their inflated ego. Eat some humble pie. Michigan had some the first week, and they're doing much better this time around. Texas is definately OVER-RATED!!

The New Big East Showdown

As mentioned earlier, there is a new Big East conference that is starting to play out. With Louisville losing to Syracuse last week, the two top dawgs in the Big East are West Virginia and Rutgers. A confident South Florida team is hoping to stir it up a little bit in conference competition. But we will see how talented South Florida is tonight.

Trying to make their first bid into a BCS bowl game, South Florida can show America what all the hype is about this team. They have already upset (former) #17 Auburn at their own stadium with a thrilling, but widely predicted, upset. South Florida will be facing #5 West Virginia tonight at 8 ET on ESPN 2. The showdown might turn out to be an instant classic if South Florida goes out there and proves to America, and the BCS computers, that they should be rolling with the big dogs. But if South Florida gets totally shut down by the tenacious West Virginia defense, the Big East is pretty much decided for in the favor of the Mountaineers. But watch out, because if Louisville runs the table from here on out, the Cardinals have a good chance of playing in January.

A Different Confernce In One Week

Heisman hype fueled the Big East at the beginning of the 2007 season with hopefuls like: Louisville's Brian Brohm, West Virginia's Pat White and Steve Slayton, and Rutgers' Ray Rice. These three teams were favored to be the best in the Big East and some of the best in college football. Louisville and West Virginia were to be the top two teams in the conference with Rutgers and darkhorse,South Florida, to mix up the Big East competition.

But after the fourth week of the season, the whole Big East landscape has changed. Louisville lost two straight games to unranked Kentucky and (0-3) Syracuse. Not only has Louisville dropped out of the chance for the BCS National Championship Game, but also has pretty much dropped out as a Big East champion contender. Who would have thought that in four weeks: Louisville would drop from the rankings, Brian Brohm (even having a fantastic season) would lost most (if not all) of his Heisman hype, South Florida, after upsetting #17 Auburn, would contend for a possible national title game, and Cincinnati would become the darkhorse to watch out for in the Big East. And this all happened when Louisville lost last Saturday.

Louisville's defense has given up alot of points the last three games, but the quarterback (Brian Brohm) is the leader of the team, while the coaches control what plays are called. Who's to blame for Louisville falling out of BCS contention?
