I think that's pretty damn good.  The teams I only really missed were us and Illinois.  

Heisman Race
I predicted Kellen Moore, Terelle Pryor, and Mark Ingram would be the finalists with Moore taking home the trophy.  He is the only one of the bunch who will make an appearance in New York but Cam Newton will be named the winner.

National Championship
I predicted Boise St vs. Oklahoma (or OSU if Boise lost).  I would take pride in the fact that they are all ranked in the Top 10 at this point (and all have a shot at winning their conferences) but they were ranked top 7 in the preseason.  The fact that Landry Jones isn't even being discussed for Heisman is ridiculous.  Compare his stats to the ones that are.

a. 3,947 yds, 34 TDs, 10 INTs Landry Jones - Oklahoma

b. 3,269 yds, 30 TDs, 5 INTs Kellen Moore - Boise State
c. 3,051 yds, 31 TDs, 7 INTs Andrew Luck - Stanford
d. 3,590 total yds, 42 TDs, 6 INTs Cam Newton - Auburn

Not to be overdramatic, but this Saturday has the potential to blow up the BCS.  If Auburn loses to South Carolina, the voters will either have to put TCU, the lesser deserving of the two "undeserving" teams, in the championship game OR the team currently ranked 5th.  Auburn and Stanford wouldn't be allowed since neither will have won their conference.  On one hand, Wisconsin is the hottest team in the country according to most analysts, could provide a powerful enough offense and defense to stop Oregon, and would provide a traditional Pac 10/Big 10 match up.  On the other, allowing them to bypass TCU negates the need for the past half-season of rankings (neither team plays a game, but all of a sudden Wisconsin is better than TCU?) and essentially proves that the BCS is a collusion among the 6 conferences (which could strengthen the government pressure college football has received).
