They've changed coaches and players, but what they need is a change in ownership. Winning starts at the top (Kraft, Rooney, Jones, DeBartolo, others) and Bidwell isn't getting it done.

Utah, normally the best team in the MWC, has indeed had a rough year, but they aren't that bad of a team. They have 9 losses by a combined 26 points. They did lose to Northwestern by 30 but the day before that they beat Virginia by 24, a team that has beaten Arizona, Gonzaga, and Maryland. Using your transitive property, Oral Roberts beat Kansas, who beat Florida--- so Florida must have absolutely no shot at making the Final Four. I agree with the transitive property rule you have going for college football, because there are so few games its all we have to go by. But in basketball where teams can be so up one night and so down another, where one player can dominate, you just can't use the transitive property. Really, all this boils down to the point that Air Force will be a force to be reckoned with come tournament time, though I doubt they'll be a sleeper because if they keep up the way they've been playing they'll be a top 5 seed.larson laidlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899190547981612509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1169071245757336112007-01-17T17:00:00.000-05:002007-01-17T17:00:00.000-05:00Wasn't K-Fed on a recent episode of CSI?Wasn't K-Fed on a recent episode of CSI?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1169071172375395342007-01-17T16:59:00.000-05:002007-01-17T16:59:00.000-05:00Sorry Dan -- Marty gets to stay on with the Charge...Sorry Dan -- Marty gets to stay on with the Chargers. At least we know there is one less team to worry about in the playoffs next year. <BR/><BR/>But, by not extending his contract they definitely have an exit strategy if he has another Schotsy type of playoff game.<BR/><BR/>Maybe now is a perfect time to predict this: Raiders are next year's Saints (not America's favorite team, but the team that finally pulls it together and has a great season). They have a great defense, a decent running back, a couple good receivers, and a half-way respectable offensive line. They need a quarterback and a coach with some semblance of an offensive mind. Add a QB, one O-Lineman, and maybe a DT, and they are looking at 11-5. It's a tough division, but the Chargers can't win when it counts, the Broncos need to a QB, and the Chiefs need to drop their QB. So it isn't that unrealistic.Natsfan74https://www.blogger.com/profile/02774593132826810650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1169070699926919632007-01-17T16:51:00.000-05:002007-01-17T16:51:00.000-05:00LeFervour is the CMU QB right?

The Chargers liked Eli and Rivers. The Giants like Eli and Ben. When the Chargers realized that Eli was going to screw them over, they told the Giants to draft Rivers or no deal.

It's a good fit and will work out for the next 10 years...but he can run a pass-oriented attack. Pittsburgh has always been run-first, but Ben could run the show if given a shot (like i said, this year may as well not happened, too much went against him)<BR/><BR/>Agreed on Mustain. It seems every state has their resident 'best HS QB in the country'.

Willie Parker is the engine that makes that team go.<BR/><BR/>I don't know about school, but what about coach: Norm Chow produced Palmer and Leinhart and David Cutcliffe produced Peyton and Eli. <BR/><BR/>Marshall does deserve some consideration for this list -- Pennington and Leftwich, when healthy, are both very good. There are no current starters from ND or Miami, but I think they still deserve an honorable mention (Montana, Theisman, Testaverde, Kosar).
