Second part who won it the year many felt that Jim Brown should have one the Trophy...P.S.- If you need to look this up you are NOT a serous college football fan. Wanna challenge me send me an Email :).

Andre Ware won in 1989 to be come 1st black QB. The year Jim Brown definitely should have won it, it was given to the golden boy Paul Hornung of Notre Dame.

Now we know why the really smart sports people like us understands the value of a playoff system.  My goodness can you imagine the fire storm this would create with teams like Michigan who even if they lose to Ohio State could end up playing the Buckeyes a second time this season for the whole ball of wax!!  But what about Florida, Auburn, Texas and even Notre Dame who may be the weakest ot the teams mentioned.  But even Notre Dame would destroy a team like Rutgers not to mention what Ohio State would do to them.  I don't think Louisville's fate is much better either.  It's a crap shoot and whatever happens, someone is going to be super pissed off at season's end.  We need a playoff in division 1A!!!!\n\nGetting back to the Ohio State - Michigan game.  Right now these are the two best teams in the country with the edge going to the Buckeyes.  Personally I think the Buckeyes are far better than anyone else in the country.  Having said that, even if Michigan wins the game that in itself would automatically call for a rematch.  It happened in 1959  Mississippi beat LSU 7-3 but everyone in the country knew the Tigers were far better and proved it in the national championship game 21-0.  The same situation could happen this year.  I'm out!!

I was somewhat disappointed.  I just wish Parcells and the rest of the team would get their act together and get back to winning superbowls like they did when Jimmy was there.  It's not all about 1 coach, it's a team effort when it comes to winning games.

OK, OK, here we go.............\n\nFirst I will address the concerns some of you have about a playoff.\n\nIT WILL MAKE THE REGULAR SEASON MEANINGLESS - and you cite the NCAA basketball tournament.  First of all, there is no need to include 65 teams.  I would make it "a tough to get in" 16 teams - the so called 5 BCS conference champions plus 11 at large teams to be voted in.  The "at large" category takes care of the independents (ie - Notre Dame) and the so called mid majors (non BCS) conferences.\n\nTHE PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS WOULD LOSE MONEY - This is complete nonsense.  A few years back, a corporation which wanted to promote such a 16 team tournament, offered about 3 to 4 times that amount of money that all the bowl games combined.  The predominant reason it has not happened is that the bowl sponsors and the Bowl Committees would not get the money for their personal pockets.  It's a matter of self interest, not what's best for the colleges or college football fans.  By the way, the Bowl committees are a bunch of do nothings who because of connections sit around and collect allot of money for doing nothing special!\n\nAn NCAA football tournament would soon be more popular than the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl!  We would finally have a true national champion.  Under the current system,  an undefeated team in a weak conference which plays a bunch of non-conference nobodies could easily be in the BCS title game.\nSuch a team might not even be one of the best 15 in the nation!

I hadn't heard he was considering it.\nInteresting.  I agree it'd be dumb. \nNot only is USC as close to a dynasty as there is in college football, but he already tried the NFL and didn't do so great.   He should just stick to what works.

The whole point of the BCS is supposed to be having the two best teams play in the championship. Michigan is definetly a lot better than N.D. and USC. If Michigan doesn't rematch, they should do away with the BCS (which I would be cool with, because I hate the BCS).\n\nBeing a huge OSU fan, I didn't want a rematch because I just wanted the title, but now I do and I'll tell you why:\n\n1. Another victory against Michigan will help our stats in that rilvary (beating them twice a year will help us catch up quickly :))\n2. Troy Smith would be the first OSU QB to beat Michigan 4 times\n3. Our center will not mis-snap the ball twice and cut our turnovers in half (helping us win by more than 3 points).\n4. Michigan's Hart said that OSU is nothing special and if they play again Michigan will beat OSU. I would like to see Hart eat those words!\n\n(If OSU and Michigan have a rematch, the worst that would happen for OSU is a split title)

They should do it after the National Title Game. Or whenever the entire season is over with. That way there's much thought taken into consideration about who should be given such an honor.

I guess that I would come down on the side of the longhorns, without their win over Okla. in 1996 Florida wouldn't have won the national championship and I am a Gator!

Uh, yeah that bulletin was pure bullcrap. Whoever posted it is just hating on The Game. Anyone can take a random picture and put a caption to it.\n\nAs for them respecting each other, I don't think they do. The Game just wants to get on with his career, he doesn't wanna beef with 50 anymore, but he still doesn't respect him.

SEC a powerhouse conference, I dont think Florida has a shot to make it to the title game.  Number one they arent going to win the SEC, look at their offense and tell me you really think they are the best team in the SEC let alone the country.  Number two they are going to take a hit in the computer polls next week with their DivII opponnent W. Carolina, lets hope an offense better than todays shows up or they could be real emberassed.  Any team that plays a DivII opponent shouldnt be considered a legitimate title contender.

This is sure showing that the BCS rankings need some work to get the top colleges to play the national champ game.... and it is showing that a playoff system might be the best way to go... I do not know how that will work (top 8 teams in playoffs perhaps?), but you are right something needs to be done...

That's tough. I like Jim McMahon and Steve Young. They were both good in College and won Super Bowls in the NFL. I guess since Young is in the Hall of Fame, that would give him the leg up. Ty Detmer put up great numbers at BYU, but did nothing in the NFL. My heart says McMahon. My brain says Young.

it is possible, but incredibly stupid.  michigan had their chance, but they fell a little short.\n\nif michigan and ohio state have a rematch for the national championship, and if michigan wins, would it be fair to ohio state?  ohio state already beat michigan.  why should they have to beat them again?  if they have a rematch, it would have to be a two-out-of-three situation to really crown a winner (but we all know that can't happen)\n\ni believe michigan is truly the #2 team right now.  but if USC could win-out, they deserve a shot at the national championship.  the BCS is just too crazy of a system.

Frankly I agree that the 32 team number is great.  At fifty years old I remember when there were half that number.  I would, however, move teams.  The southeast has far too many teams in the conferences.  With the large NCAA and NASCAR schedules move one of the Florida teams to Nebraska or Oklahoma.  I would then move the NO Saints to Arizona, and Arizona to NO.  Neither owner deserves a team.  Bidwell can't do anything right and Benton is a disgrace.  Notice Benton's been so quiet since his problem plagued city sold-out his stadium?  If they want to own them, fine, make them move them!!

i'm a michigan fan like you but i want it to be fair. No one has played a tougher schedule than Florida and still only have one lost. but USC are the media darlings, never mind they play in the pack ten. how many of those teams have 7 or more wins?? hopefully when Ohio st. breaks their foot off in their a** maybe people will wake up and stop trying to hand them national championships.

If all this is really true, then yes I believe that an investigation should happen, and everything that he has built himself up to should also be looked into. If the investigation turns up true then yes he should have to forfeit his Heisman trophy. There are reasons why there are these rules for Collegiate players, for instance, do you really think Bush could have done the same things he did at USC at some other school. I doubt it. Sure he is a great player, but look at USC, they have had a stacked team for the past 3 or 4 years in a row. I bet everyone of their players families live in huge houses and are all getting a little more on the side. Like I said before, there is a reason that this rule exists it is supposed to keep fair play between teams and leave it strictly to scouting and luring players to schools minus all the money. It is unfortunate that this happens because it takes the smaller schools with not as much alumni money or NFL scouting power out of contention early. What ever happened to people playing for the love of the game and worrying about the money later... If you're good enough it will come.

He does have a case - they have the same record as USC and Michigan, plus play in a good conference.  Shouldn't they have the same chance as them to play for the title.  Just another reason the BCS sucks and they need to go to a playoff system.
