Let me preface this by saying I don't have an official vote for the Heisman, though I don't know why, I'm just as well-credentialed as Professor Lance Allan. Nevertheless, after a season's worth of football viewing here's how I see it:

Week 14 begins tonight with Cleveland at Pittsburgh. The Steelers are in the thick of the AFC playoff picture as one of four teams tied with a 9-3 record. Then there's five other teams tied at 7-5. This is an excellent opportunity to brush up on the NFL tiebreakers.

The bowl selections will be made at 8 pm Sunday night but there's still some debate over the BCS at-large teams. Here's my guess at what the BCS will look like:

The BCS and national championship picture will clear up this weekend with the conclusion of the college football regular season. Championship Weekend kicks off with a pair of games tonight and if you're a fan of offense you are in for a treat.

I picked up a copy of Michael Holley's new book "War Room" and as an NFL Draft geek I'm plowing through it. In the fourth chapter Holley describes the preparation for the 2006 draft and it serves as a reminder of how inexact the selection process can be.

We've got a big stretch of days coming up with college basketball getting underway, college football in crunch time and the NFL heating up. I'll be sitting in on Sports Central with Trenni Kusnierek on Friday night, followed by a brief Wisconsin Sports Weekend on Saturday following the Wisconsin-Minnesota game.

Six weeks remain in the college football regular season and the elimination process for the BCS title game is underway. Certainly there's a lot of focus on next Saturday's #1 vs #2 matchup but this weekend will make the BCS and title game picture a little less fuzzy. Consider these contests:

If you're still holding out hope that the St. Louis Cardinals can be stopped you're in some big trouble. The last team to win Game 7 of the World Series on the road was the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates.

If you're looking for a little Thursday night must-see TV other than the World Series may I suggest the Rice-Houston game on Fox Sports. The Cougars are unbeaten and ranked 17th in the recent BCS standings. With a little luck and a Boise State loss Houston might end up in the BCS picture.

This deep into the season it doesn't get any better than 7-0. The Packers quest for perfection keeps rolling despite an uneven performance against Minnesota. In the end 33-27 doesn't look impressive on the surface but the Packers showed that there are many ways to win a football game. Aaron Rodgers was superb as usual. Mason Crosby and Tim Masthay both put up great individual special teams efforts. And when the defense needed to tighten up and make a stop, they did.

After a torrid start people are saying that Aaron Rodgers has elevated his game to a level never before seen in the NFL. Is that true? The last player to reach that stratosphere of never-before-seen was Tom Brady in 2007. So I decided to compare the game-by-game numbers of each quarterback through the first six games of their respective seasons.
