New Blog Seaver, GA QBS Cedric Benson

Cedric Benson

I am still in shock from when you told me he scored 15 TD’s in 3 State Championship games (1998, 1999, and 2000 seasons. Midland Lee won the mythical Natty in 1999.) Midland Lee had 5 losses the year before he took over Texas football as a sophomore. Then they went 14-1, 15-0 and 13-2 during this run.

This included a 26 game winning that lasted until they went to West Monroe in 2000.(38-6)

This Midland team was great, but what Allen accomplished is legendary.

It is always good to see Tom Terrific mentioned.

Scherzer has 200k for the eighth consecutive season which is amazing run with his 4 Cy Young Awards.

Sherzer has moved into 2nd in MLB History and is only 1 behind the 9 straight years that Seaver had with the Mets. (Of course Strike Outs are a bit more common these days)

New Blog BCS Era

BCS Era

If we refer to the Bowl Alliance as being the start of the modern era of crowning national champions, I thought I would look back. We’ve had 28 champions crowned as part of the Alliance/BCS/CFP since 1992. Here is a look at participation in the final game:

• Alabama – 6 wins out of 8 appearances
• Florida St. – 3 wins out of 6
• Nebraska – 3 out of 5
• LSU – 3 out of 4
• Florida – 3 out of 4
• Ohio St. – 2 out of 4
• Clemson – 2 out of 4
• Oklahoma – 1 out of 4
• Miami – 1 out of 4
• Tennessee – 1 out of 2
• USC – 1 out of 2
• Texas – 1 out of 2
• Auburn – 1 out of 2
• Oregon – 0 out of 2
• Notre Dame, Georgia, Va. Tech – 1 appearance with no wins

Only 17 schools have participated in a final, out of 56 available slots. The SEC has won 14 of 28 championships, and 10 of the last 14. They have 21 finals appearances.

Tigers Historic Season

Let’s get this stuff recorded while it’s easy to remember. LSU had not only a championship season, but a dream season, a season that if you described it in a movie, everyone would say it wasn’t believable because no one could possibly have a season like that. It will be argued for as long as college football is played, that it may have been the greatest season ever, fitting for the 150th anniversary of the sport. So, while winning their 3rd national championship of the century (2nd to only Bama), they also:

• Went undefeated 15-0
• Went 7-0 vs. top 10 teams (Texas, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Clemson)
• Went 4-0 vs. the preseason AP top 4
• Went 10-0 vs. bowl teams (add Miss St, Texas A&M, & Utah St.)
• Beat 5 of the final AP top 8
• Beat the: Fiesta Bowl champ, Orange Bowl champ, Sugar Bowl champ, SEC East champ, ACC champ & Big 12 champ

The average margin for the year was 48-22. Against the top 10 teams, the margin was 42-27.

The team featured the Heisman Trophy winner (Joe Burrow), the Jim Thorpe winner (Grant Delpit), and the Biletnikoff winner (Ja’Marr Chase). Throw in the national coach of the year (Ed Orgeron) and the top assistant of the year (Joe Brady).

While winning the Heisman, Burrow had perhaps the greatest individual season in history, completing 76% of his passes for 5,600 yards with a record 60 TD passes and just 6 picks.

All sports fans live and dream of a year like this; it’s the ultimate culmination of pulling for a team, just beyond my wildest dreams. And it’s all ours!
