Breakdown
It seems to me that we are down to five legitimate players left alive for the Heisman Trophy this year. For some reason, 1 is pretty much out in Case Keenum. At least people should now jump off the crashed C. J. Spiller bandwagon.
1. Colt McCoy – McCoy is really heating up, which was needed this week against a Texas A&M team that kept the game closer than it ever should have been. I think that he has a marginal lead coming into the final week.
2. Mark Ingram – From the sounds of it ESPN now can’t even stand the sight of him… how fickle they are. He has been at the top of the standings by an ever growing margin for a number of weeks. The question is will he get knocked out of the running in a win and be therefore judged differently than Tebow and McCoy who have numbers nowhere near QBs like Keenum and Moore or will he have a chance for redemption against Florida?
3. Tim Tebow – Has any other player meant more to their team this season that Tebow? He probably doesn’t have much of a chance to win it this year as he already has one, but I think that he is close in my book.
4. Tony Gerhart – The best statistical running back for a decent team. He now has over 1700 rushing yards and 26 TDs. Thos are some gaudy numbers.
5. Kase Keenum – The best statistical QB in the country plays in conference USA, but did lead this top 25 ranked team to two victories over teams near the top of the Big 12 and his team to a 10-2 record. He has over 4900 passing yards and 38 TDs.
Next Saturday after the games I will have my final Heisman predictions as well as my top five as I believe it should be.

My Week 13 NCAA Football Heisman Rankings
- Mark Ingram (RB) - Alabama
- Colt McCoy (QB) - Texas
- Tim Tebow (QB) - Florida
- Case Keenum (QB) - Houston
- Tony Gerhart (RB) - Stanford

- Case Keenum
- JacQuizz Rodgers
- Mark Ingram - Leading the Crimson Tide in an undefeated regular season in the SEC. Leader of the pack. With a win and decent numbers against Auburn he will only need good numbers against Florida to clinch it. With big numbers against Auburn he could all but clinch next week.
- Colt McCoy - Is still in second, but the gap with he and Tebow is shrinking by the day and could disappear with a strong Tebow performance against Florida State. McCoy has really put up good numbers over the past few weeks, but they have been against vastly inferior competition this year in the Big 12. He will have to continue to put up big numbers and hope that Ingram slips and nobody does something great to catch him in the process. Not a whole lot of room to go up for him.
- Tim Tebow - Is starting to round out his resume again this year. With a big day against Florida State, he could pass Colt for second place. However, in the mind of most voters, he would need to have substantially passed him in order to get their votes as he already has one trophy at home. He may pass McCoy in my rankings by the end of the year, but it won't happen in actuality. It is starting to look like he won't even get an invite to the ceremony as a participant in a few weeks.
- Case Keenum - His numbers are just silly at QB. I'm surprised that he is not getting more talk. He plays in Conference USA but had some great out of conference victories.
- Tony Gerhart - His numbers are pretty darn crazy at the RB position as well. His team's four losses will put him out of contention.
- JacQuizz Rodgers - Very good numbers as well and one less loss than Gerhart. This one is really close and could flip flop depending on the last couple games.
- Kellen Moore - Really good stats, but hard to take seriously out of the WAC. Any chance that he had was ruined this week with a ho-hum game against Utah State.

Beautiful Girls That Catch My Eye #7: Marisa Miller
This is a bit of a "duh" for most people, but this picture was just amazing.
The full article can be found at the following website: http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS92184+02-Nov-2009+PRN20091102Today Marisa Miller announced that she has expanded her relationship with Harley-Davidson to salute active and retired U.S. military personnel during the month of November, as part of the Motor
Company's first-ever "Military Appreciation Month" campaign.
I have three words for you:
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
An Open Letter to the Terminator Owners
Dear Sirs/Ma'ams,
I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where 'hood' was capitalized 'cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the 'grapevine' that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I will write a check TODAY for $10,000, and viola! Terminator off your hands.
No, you didn't miscount. That's four -- FOUR! -- zeroes after that one. That's to show you I mean business. And I mean show business. Nikki Finke says the Terminator concept is played. Well, here's what I have to say to Nikki Finke: you are a fine journalist and please don't ever notice me. The Terminator story is as formative and important in our culture -- and my pretend play -- as any I can think of. It's far from over. And before you Terminator-Owners (I have trouble remembering names) rush to cash that sweet cheque, let me give you a taste of what I could do with that franchise:
1) Terminator... of the Rings! Yeah, what if he time-travelled TOO far... back to when there was dragons and wizards? (I think it was the Dark Ages.) Hasta La Vista, Boramir! Cool, huh? "Now you gonna be Gandalf the Red!" RRRRIP! But then he totally helps, because he's a cyborg and he doesn't give a s#&% about the ring -- it has no power over him! And he can carry it AND Frodo AND Sam AND f@%& up some orcs while he's doing it. This stuff just comes to me. I mean it. (I will also offer $10,000 for the Lord of the Rings franchise).
2) More Glau. Hey. There's a reason they're called "Summer" movies.
3) Can you say... musical? Well don't. Even I know that's an awful idea.
4) Christian Bale's John Connor will get a throat lozenge. This will also help his Batwork (ten grand for that franchise too, btw.)
5) More porn. John Connor never told Kyle Reese this, but his main objective in going to the past was to get some. What if there's a lot of future-babies that have to be made? Cue wah-wah pedal guitar -- and dollar signs!
6) The movies will stop getting less cool.
Okay. There's more -- this brain don't quit! (though it has occasionally been fired) -- but I think you get my drift. I really believe the Terminator franchise has only begun to plumb the depths of questioning the human condition during awesome stunts, and I'd like to shepherd it through the next phase. The money is there, but more importantly, the heart is there. But more importantly, money. Think about it. End this bloody bidding war before it begins, and put the Terminator in the hands of someone who watched the first one more than any other movie in college, including "Song of Norway" (no current franchise offer).
Sincerely,
Joss Whedon.

My Week 10 NCAA Football Heisman Rankings
2. Tim Tebow - Comprable total yards to McCoy, but 2 more total TD, 1/2 the INT, in a tougher defensive conference.
3. Colt McCoy - Leading a legitimate undefeated team with not nearly the weapons that people expected.
4. Case Keenum - Leading a 1 loss Houston team to win after win with insane numbers. He has almost 1,000 more passing yards than Jimmy Clausen and 6 more TDs.
5. Jimmy Clausen - 400 more passing yards, but 6 less TD than Kellen Moore. They have played a much more difficult schedule and has had some near perfect games against decent opposition.
On the verge: Kellen Moore (Boise State) and Jauizz Rogers (Oregon St.)

Joss on Dollhouse's removal from sweeps.
Hi guys. Lot going on.
First off, TV addict not dumb. (But you gotta get clean, man. We love you and you HAVE A PROBLEM. I'm just saying, try a book. A book about TV! Not cold turkey.)
Directing Glee. This is not a diabolical Fox scheme. This is me going "can I can I?" Did you see last night? Best cut-to-opening-credits moment since the halcyon days of BSG.
Howzabout that schedule? Well, I'm not as depressed as everyone else. We weren't about to rock sweeps anyway, and though there's a chilly November, December is CRAZY. It's like an Advent calendar of episodes! We get November to try to spread the word (which I'll be leaning on Fox to do, though it's hard to imagine them doing as good a job as the WhyIWatch guy) and then December is pure gluttony. Plus the episodes line up extremely well in these pairs, and we'll have an absurdly appropriate lead-in.
Back to breaking Tim's episode. Keep the faith, peeps. I'll bring you news (and hopefully a little humor, I mean would it kill me to punch these up a little?) when I can. -j
