Brownie’s Real Top
Ten
1. Bama – I don’t
really see them losing this year.
2. Oregon – their
defense proved that they can be pretty good too. De’Anthony Thomas didn’t even
really get that involved but the Ducks just have so many weapons that it
doesn’t matter who is getting it done on a given night.
3. FSU – Clemson
scored a lot, but then again they have a pretty damn good offense so I don’t
take too much away from the Noles’ defense. In fact, the Noles stepped up in
the second half and limited the Tigers’ opportunities as their offense took
over. E.J. Manuel played the best game of his career and catapulted himself
into the Heisman discussion.
4. LSU – They almost
lost to a very, very mediocre Auburn team.
5. Georgia – They
showed me something: Aaron Murray has a few more weapons than I thought. And
their best running back’s name is Gurley. You know that dude runs with a “Fuck
you” mentality.
6. Kansas State –
for me, the rule should be that if you beat a team ranked higher than you then
you automatically take their ranking.
7. South Carolina –
The cocks erected a pretty firm victory.
8. West Virginia –
They were surprisingly tested, but in the end they just have too much talent.
Tavon Austin is a stud.
9. Notre Dame – God
I didn’t want to do this. I mean I REALLY didn’t want to do this. I hate the
Irish. But they have just proven themselves on the big stage two weeks in a row
against former top ten teams. They leave me no choice. I don’t see them losing
for a while, maybe until USC. God I hate the Irish.
10. Texas – I know it
is a little bullshit that they get in to the top ten after having the week off
but they have been knocking on the door for a while. They haven’t really been
tested yet this year but their defense is pretty solid, and their offense is
surprisingly efficient. Ash isn’t the answer, but he’s been pretty good, and
they are starting to run the ball at will. Plus I just couldn’t bring myself to
stick Stanford in the top ten again.
Brownie’s Heisman
Race
 |
| "No Barkley, it's a metaphor. I did not actually come to your house and steal thunder"-CK |
1. Collin Klein, QB KSU
– Argue if you want but the fact is he led his team to by far the most
meaningful victory of the early college football season. Nothing he does is
sexy, but he gets it done. He is like the David Murphy of college football.
Honestly he reminds me of a less douchie Tim Tebow.
2. De’Anthony Thomas,
RB/WR Oregon – He wasn’t asked to do much against Zona, and he isn’t so
much dropping because of lack of production, but more so because of Klein’s
performance.
3. Geno Smith, QB WVU–
Dude keeps doin business.
4. E.J. Manuel, QB FSU –
How can he not be in this race after what he did Saturday? Honestly he
should be higher, and if he keeps putting up numbers then he will be.
5. Brandon Carter, WR
TCU – Maybe this one will be controvertial but the fact is that after the
last two weeks it is clear to me that Carter is what makes the Frogs offense
tick. Especially with the loss of Waymon James, Carter will be called on a lot
more this season. And Josh Boyce scares the shit out of teams (rightfully so)
and so Carter will see a lot of one-on-one coverage in the slot. I don’t think
anyone in the country can keep up with him in a foot race. And if you watched
the game, or the sportscenter top ten Saturday, then you saw that this kid can
catch the ball too. I mean shit, he can really catch the ball.
6. Tavon Austin, WR WVU
– He is a lot like Carter, although I think he means less to his team than
Carter does to TCU, which is why Austin is a notch lower.
7 Braxton Miller, QB
OSU – He is a freak athletically, but I want to see him beat a team with
his arm.
8. Aaron Murray, QB UGA
– he is officially in the race.
9. Le’Veon Bell, RB MSU
– another big game put Bell back in the race. He had a rough patch but if
MSU is going to do anything this year then it will be because of Bell.
`.0. Professor Chaos, QB
TCU- class was in session once again on Saturday as professor Chaos made
big time (NFL level) throws all day while getting pounded harder than Sandusky
in federal prison. He showed me toughness that I haven’t seen before from him.
A few hits he took made it look like he wouldn’t be returning to the game but
he did every time. He showed leadership and toughness, and the ability to take
a hit while willing his team to win. Then again he may have just been high on
morphine.
Marsh's Week 5 Rankings
Barely missing the cut USC (13) TCU (12) Texas (11)
Top Ten
12. TCU-The Frogs are a very strange team right now. The defense is doing excellent and by the numbers so is the offense. At least in everything but scoring. The Frogs missed opportunities in the redzone once again and it should've been another 40-7 game. When the Frogs do fix this glitch however, it's going to be very, very scary. Forget USC and WV, the Frogs have the best receiving corps in the nation.
10. Stanford-Not sold on them yet. Let's see how they do post-USC
9. Notre Dame-Just like Brownie, this is very hard to do for me. I think Michigan is a very mediocre team and beating them 13-6 when Denard throws 4 picks says a lot about the quality of both teams. The Irish's defense is great, but when Turnover Tommy is your quarterback...your offense is gonna have some trouble.
8. West Virginia-Maryland is super bad. Like every new episode of the Office bad. Sure they can score points, but when they have to play some Big 12 schools who can actually throw up points too, Geno and Austin may not be able to save their defense.
7. South Carolina-I'm never sold on these guys. It's too hard. I still they're gonna blow a weird game pretty soon here.
6. Florida State-Probably where I'll get the most hell. But they beat a very overrated Clemson team. FSU will probably have me sold by season's end. But they'll sell me on winning an Orange bowl...not an National Championship.
5. Georgia-The Dawgs are looking to prove they can finally live up to the hype. Thanks to Aaron Murray, it's working.
4. Kansas State-This is just a downright gritty-ass team. They're playing tough football and Optimus Klein is nothing short of a warrior. Kansas State is gonna make the Big 12 spicier than Salsa Limon's habenero sauce on an exchange student from Guatemala.
3. LSU-If it were based solely on Mettenbergers's pedophile stache, the Bayou Bengals would be number 1. But sadly it's not, and even if it was AJ would find a way to out-do him.
2. Oregon-Yes, Arizona did have more trouble closing than Marsh at Capital on Friday. But still, Oregon's offense is looking more tuned every week. A Bama-Oregon Championship could be the classic that the last five haven't been.
1. Alabama-There shouldn't be a question that this is the best team in the nation. Saban is becoming the Charles Foster Kane of college football. The jury's out on what his deathbed words will be.
Heisman Rankings
1. Collin Klein-Might be jumping the gun a bit, but the kid does everything he can to win and despite being a running Quarterback, Klein is very unselfish.
2. Geno Smith-Not too far behind. The two Big 12 aces will likely be back and forth all season. In the long run, I see Geno having the better shot.

| Casey by day, Chaos by night |
4. Le'Veon Bell-Sadly, he plays in the B1G.
Coming in hot...
Casey "Professor Chaos" Pachall-Sometimes, it's okay to be a homer. Pachall's placement is justified though, as he still has the highest QB rating in the country. He's not going to get any worse and with the weapons surging around him, he's likely to only get better. SMU has an awful pass defense, so it should be some Chaos in Dallas on Saturday.
Bowl Predictions.
Fiesta Bowl-West Virginia vs. Louisville (advantage WV)
Sugar Bowl-Georgia vs. Kansas State (advantage UGA)
Rose Bowl-Michigan State vs. Stanford (advantage Stanford)
Orange Bowl-Notre Dame vs. Florida State (advantage FSU)
