Hey... I appreciate it!

Graham is on fire. He is only a 74 overall but is out performing Anderson (80 overall). Anderson is listed as probable to play but has been listed as probable for the past 3 weeks and is so slow and sluggish.

There is no doubt Graham is the front runner for next season, however, I have a redshirt freshman (Sullivan) that isn't as fast, but is a more true passer.

Thanks again for reading and following!!!

WEEK 12 NOTABLE GAMES

#6 Ohio State (9-1, 6-0) at #1 Iowa (10-0, 6-0) (Big 10)

Texas A&M WON - but was eliminated from a Big 12 Conference Championship bid with the Oklahoma win. Nebraska will play Oklahoma for the Big 12 title.

Fresno State (7-2, 5-1) at #4 Boise State (9-0, 5-0) (WAC)
This game too may have National Championship and Conference Championship implications involved. Boise is currently the WAC leader with a 5-0 Conference record with Fresno State right behind at 5-1. A Boise win will clinch the WAC title with a Nevada loss, while a Fresno loss will hand them the title if the manage to win out their last 2 games. With Boise State, #1 Iowa, #2 Auburn and #3 Georgia Tech all have tough remaining games and will have to withstand the Conference Championship to land a National Title game bid. If Boise State wins out, they could sneak in the back door of the BCS National Championship.
BOISE STATE WON - Will clinch WAC Title with a win over Nevada next week

#25 ECU (8-2, 6-0) at Rice (4-6, 3-3) (C-USA)
An ECU win will Clinch the C-USA East and will go up against SMU in the West. ECU and SMU play the last week of the regular season as well.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL UPDATE
WEEK 13

WEEK 13 NOTABLE GAMES

#1 Auburn (11-0, 7-0) vs. #5 Alabama (10-1, 7-0)
What a match-up. In both team's last game of the season, The SEC Title Game and a National Championship bid is on the line. The winner of this football game will go on to play Florida for the SEC Championship. Auburn controls its destiny while holding onto the top BCS spot. An Alabama upset over Auburn, an SEC Title, and a little help from the ACC (defeating Georgia Tech), Michigan (defeating Ohio State), and/or a WAC opponent defeating Boise State, and the Tide may roll right into the BCS National Championship game.

SMU vs. #20 ECU
This game's outcome will not impact the C-USA title, however, these two teams have already sealed their spots in the Championship game against one another. This will be a preview of the C-USA title match.

Michigan (7-4, 4-3) vs. #4 Ohio State (10-1, 7-0)
With #1 Auburn having to face Alabama and then Florida (if they win), there is a danger learking for the #1 spot to fall. Georgia Tech will have to defeat conference foe, Georgia and then survive the ACC title match to hold onto the BCS Title game bid. Auburn and Georgia Tech losses will more than likely land Ohio State into the National Title game if they defeat rival Michigan.

#2 Georgia Tech (11-0, 8-0) vs. Georgia (4-7, 2-6)
Georgia Tech has an easier route to hold onto their National Title game spot than Auburn, however, they do find themselves in a similar situation having to play a conference rival, and pull out a conference title to keep their bids. With #3 Boise State, #4 Ohio State and #5 Alabama learking and waiting for the top teams to slip, Georgia Tech is in a high pressure situation.
