Here Come the Bowls

The College Football season is rounding up and we're nearing the bowl madness that always seems to confuse the hell out of me. Even Obama has said that a playoff system similar to March Madness would be incredible, but we've gotta deal with what we have. For those of you who haven't been following along this season, it's had it's moments. I'm sad Notre Dame has been shitting the bed lately, despite Jimmy Clausen and Golden Tate's stellar seasons, but at least the Ducks are looking Rose Bowl worthy behind Jaremiah Masoli. The big story this season though has been the running backs. There have been some QB's who have had a spectacular year, Tebow, Keenum, and McCoy to name a few (Florida, Houston, and Texas respectively), but look at what Mark Ingram has done for Alabama, the number two seed behind Florida right now. Stanford has also propelled up the rankings with the help of Toby Gerhart; he rushed for 223 yards and 3 touchdowns against an Oregon team that looked unstoppable up until meeting the Cardinal. Ryan Matthews of Fresno State was having a fantastic year until he suffered a concussion two weeks ago against Nevada, cutting his season short; and Jacquizz Rodgers has produced 18 touchdowns for Oregon State, rushing for 1148 yards. Any way you spell it, it looks like the Heisman will be headed to a running back this season. Just check out the work Mark Ingram has done for the Crimson Tide and judge for yourself.
