Joe Hamilton is the best player in College Football. He more than deserves the
award. He is the nation's leading passer for the nations leading offense. If
Ga Tech had a defense they would be #1.

Mr. Allan Chen, I believe, for the Heisman. and the Hamiltonian.

Allan Chen is in fact a Hamiltonian.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Yeah but they don't. I think we all know who is deserving the most. Ron
Dayne. He didn't get it last year cause of Ricky Williams, now he
surpassed him by gaining the most yards in the toughest conference in the
nation, and leading his team to two str8 rose bowls. How can you argue
with that?

Maybe because Ron Dayne isn't even the leading rusher this season (you
have to give that up to Thomas Jones of UVA), yet Hamilton is the top
quarterback. Although Dayne did break the career rushing record, which
is commendable, the fact that it came only one year after Ricky
Williams' feat manages to lessen the accomplishment quite a bit with
the Heisman voters. If Hamilton continues to put up the numbers he's
been having (with the exception of the Virginia game), he'll be just as
big a contender for the Heisman as anyone.

I think Mike has a new girl friend. Natalie Portman goes to the same
school he does. That is why he does not post here so often. As for
Allan... Make him footrace Dayne and then block Dayne. Wait, then we
would get 1/2 the amt of quality recording and lose a mem of the community!

before you start saying stuff like this maybe you should check your facts.

Chad Pennington for Marshall has thrown for 7 more TD's and about 700 more
yards than Hamilton. If you look at total offense, Hamilton is 3rd behind
Brees and Ratay.

Additionally, look at the defenses Hamilton got his TD's against. Games aren't
supposed to have 80 combined points a game, thats ridiculous. That goes to
show the caliber of defenses in the ACC, both Georgia Tech's and their
opponents. Dayne, on the other hand, broke the all-time rushing record in what
I would hope even SEC/ACC fans would agree is the hardest conference to run the
ball against. The big ten is all about rushing, and thats what defenses are
built to stop. Dayne's faced 8-9 man fronts his whole career and still
dominated. Enough said?

And I will add this, and anyone here can hold me to it. If Ron Dayne does not
win the Heisman trophy, I will do B&P's for anyone that wants them...

and to address the previous comment that dayne is only the 2nd best RB, heres
some stats right off espn.com

Avg yds per rush:
Dayne: 6.1
Jones: 5.6

Jones has several more carries than Dayne despite playing 1 less game.

Additionally, Dayne has about 130 more total yards than Jones, but Wisconsin
has played an extra game, so Daynes average per game is 4 yards less.

But consider this:
According to the broadcasters of this past weekends Iowa/Wisconsin game, Dayne
has sat out a total of NINE quarters this year due to big leads. So
essentially he's gotten his avg. yards per game in 3 quarters. I'm guessing
that Jones has played in most of Virginia's 4th quarters since they're haven't
had too many big leads.

Gotta agree that Dayne will win. Brees will be 2nd, Hamilton 3rd. Now, if you
want to go by what really matters (who the best QB in the eyes of pro scouts is)
then you've got Brees, Pennington, and Chris Redman from Louisville, with Hamilton
probably 4th. I think Pennington and Brees are a toss up, but when it's all said
and done I give it to Brees since he's still got a year left to go.

Yeah but the best QB in the Big 10 is.....KURT Kittner from
Illinois....his 22 touchdowns to 2 int's is untouchable by anyone in the
country.....but Brees is pretty good too.

Yeah but Jones also didn't spend the four years or one year in the Big 10,
the best conference in football, How is hamilton the best QB though?
Yards, TD's....I know that here in Illinois, we have the by far the best
TD:INT ratio, 22-2 the next closest is like 4:1 I think Major Applewhite
from texas. And frankly Wisconsin is the superior team to GT. And that
is commendable especially considering how much tougher the Big 10 is than
the ACC......It wont be a very close vote I assure you...

Hamilton may be 3rd in total offense, but you have to realize that
Brees and Rattay also have twice the number of passing attempts that
Hamilton has. Rattay ranks fourth in efficiency, and Brees is... 32nd?
And while Chad Pennington is good, I still firmly believe Joe has the
QB spot covered.

Ron Dayne is good. But IMHO, the Big Ten is overrated.

How is the big ten overrated? I think it is obvious to most that they are
the toughest and most balanced conference in the country. I mean look at
it up and down....one team beats wisconsin by 30 something, and then loses
to Illinois at home (Mich), Illinois gets spanked by Minnesota at home,
and minnesota beats PSU, but loses to Purdue and OSU at home. Mich St.
beats Michigan then gets spanked by Purdue and Wisconsin, everyone beating
up everyone else, thus the most balanced power conference in the league.
And the thing is there is like 2 bad teams this year, not half the
confeence, so every team is playing another ranked team every week pretty
much. Think about this too.....Minnesota was essentially 11 points from
going 11-0 this season. They lost to wisconsin by 3 in OT, OSU by 3, and
purdue by 5. How can one argue with that?

Yeah...Schroedinger's cat was definitely twisted.

Heisenberg did have a redeeming quality though - he gave us a rather
clever excuse for losing homework.

Because the same thing can be said this year for the SEC and I'm sure
another conference or two as well. There are always upsets and strange
things going on in inter-conference play; that's just how it works.

Hamilton as no chance at the Heisman. It will go to Ron Dayne. It is a
shame The wreck have no Defense because his scoring has been impressive.
They remind me of UCLA last year. I also think that the hoop team at
Ga Techis is underacheiving. I look for the Terps to suprise people in
the ACC this year.

if you have any doubts about the strength of conferences, check out the Sagarin
ratings at usatoday.com

the big ten is rated as the toughest conference, and other similar "computer"

continuously rip up ivy when it should be their problem? The stupid

the point was, its not sagarin or any one guy. its unbiased formulas that are
used to calculate the best teams/conferences based on margin of victory,
strength of schedule, etc..
sagarin was a mathematician at harvard i think it was and came up with these
ratings, and his are used in the calculation of the BCS

actually michigan won by 5 points over wisconsin not 30 (the score was
21-16). since i go to wisconsin i'm completely biased toward thinking
dayne should win the heisman. he's simply the best running back ever
to play college football. i've seen him play in person at least 30
times and he amazes me more each time i see him run. he's accomplished
more than any other running back in college football history. and he's
done it without playing in the second half of the first 2 games nor the
second half of the indiana game and only one series in the second half
against michigan state. and there should really be no argument that
the big ten is the best conference in football. that is why there will
never be a national champ from the big ten. the teams knock each other
off. the bowl record from last year speaks for itself though.
wisconsin beats ucla and purdue beats kansas state. both of those
teams were in the hunt for a championship up until the final week. in
addition, ohio state won a bcs game. and michigan and penn state won
their bowl games. all in all, the big ten didn't lose a bowl game last
year. and i'll bet it will be close to the same this year (although i
won't go so far as to say the big ten will go undefeated in bowls
again. after all, there could be 8 big ten teams in bowl games this
year).

just my two cents, mike

yeah but there are alot of other catergories to consider, (ie total yards
passed, td's, td:int ratio, wins etc) Not saying he's no good, but I
believe there are better QB's out there, and as far as his chance for
Heisman, no way in hell. The Bigun got it wrapped up for sure.

IMO, the only other QB who could compete with Hamilton is Marshall's
Chad Pennington. Brees and Rattay may have more yards and TDs, but
they also have twice the passing attempts that Hamilton does, so that
kinda makes it unfair. But you are right, there are several different
stat columns to consider.

i'm not necessarily saying brees is great or anything, but just something to
keep in mind with those extra passes: purdue runs a relatively conservative
possession passing game. most of them are short completions, so they have
longer drives with less huge plays, which is also why his efficiency is lower

from what i've seen of hamilton he's more of a big play quarterback

not saying either is better, both styles have worked pretty well for both
