Try again the computer says. Even though the Cornhuskers and Hokies are ranked higher than the Irish, they will not play in a BCS bowl game. Reboot the computer. The BCS system is not the way it should be. Other NCAA sports, including basketball, also have a tournament system.
Money seems to make more sense than logic when determining a champion.
The ballots are in for the finalists of the 2000 Heisman Trophy award. Quaterbacks Drew Brees from Purdue University, Josh Heupel of the University of Oklahoma and Chris Weinke from Florida State University are joined by running back LaDainian Tomlinson of Texas Christian University. My favorite, Chris Weinke, will take home the Heisman Saturday night and lead the Seminoles past Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl Jan. 3. Brees and Heupel are great quarterbacks, but on paper Weinke has the better numbers. The three-year starter for Florida State smashed the Atlantic Coast Conference passing records with 9,789 total yards and 79 touchdowns during his career.
