Ranking the nation’s best quarterbacks after Week 6.

1. Marcus Mariota, Oregon. At this point, Oregon’s injury-plagued offensive line is on the verge of being shut down as a public safety hazard, but Mariota still leads the nation in pass efficiency and still has not thrown an interception, despite serving as the victim of public muggings in the Ducks’ last two games. (Last Week: 1)

2. Dak Prescott, Mississippi State. Prescott has delivered back-to-back TKOs against SEC West heavies LSU and Texas A&M, arguably the two best individual outings by the same quarterback this season. (LW: 6)

3. Jameis Winston, Florida State. Like his team, Winston has yet to put together a complete, convincing performance this season, and woe to the opposing defense when he does. FSU is still averaging 43.3 points per game in his four starts. (LW: 2)

4. Bryce Petty, Baylor. It must be oddly comforting for Baylor that Petty delivered the worst stat line of his career on Saturday, by far — 7-of-22 passing for 111 yards — yet the Bears still beat Texas by three touchdowns in Austin. (LW: 3)

5. Nick Marshall, Auburn. Marshall, on the other hand, delivered one of his best performances, sparking an impressively lopsided win over LSU on a day when any kind of win would have been impressive enough. (LW: 9)

6. Kenny Hill, Texas A&M. It’s hard to come down too harshly on a passer whose first really awful day (three picks in a loss) still yielded 365 yards and four touchdowns. (LW: 5)

7. Brett Hundley, UCLA. Hundley endured 10 sacks Saturday in UCLA’s loss to Utah, bringing his career total to 106 sacks in 32 games. Maybe he’s part of the problem? (LW: 4)

8. Bo Wallace, Ole Miss. I think this pretty much sums it up. (LW: NR)

9. Blake Sims, Alabama. Strike a defensive touchdown from the books, and the same attack that hung Christmas lights all over Florida’s defense a couple of weeks back limped out of Oxford with just 10 points. (LW: 8)

10. Everett Golson, Notre Dame. Golson wasn’t great against a top-shelf Stanford defense, but he was good enough in the end to keep the Irish on the lifeboat carrying the few remaining unbeatens. (LW: 7)

Waiting: J.T. Barrett (Ohio State), Shane Carden (East Carolina), Jared Goff (California), Cody Kessler (USC), Anu Solomon (Arizona)

Here is a pretty good article on how the playoff committee members are watching games, how there putting their list together and getting ready for there first meeting this month.

Pretty long read.

http://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...-final-four-100714?cmpid=tsmtw:fscom:cfbonfox

Couple interesting things.

They get coaches cut up's and special iPads.

If she’s not watching on the big screen in her Palo Alto den, she’s got her committee-issued iPad with her while attending Stanford home games. And on Sundays, she watches the coaches cut-ups provided to all 13 members.

There getting advance statistics provided to them.

Rice, befitting her background in academia, finds herself drawn to the many statistics being provided to the group by SportSource Analytics.

This I found interesting.

Finally, in addition to evaluating and ranking teams, each member has been specifically assigned one or two conferences to monitor and then report back to the group. For example, Gould’s conferences are the American and Pac-12, Wieberg’s the SEC and Independents. The committee’s weekly meetings will begin with each conference’s point person giving a five-minute update on the league’s latest developments.

writer take on whole UF Treon Harris thing
http://www.alligatorarmy.com/2014/1...nvestigation-sexual-assault-battery-explainer

And to concerns of a slippery slope, I offer this: The only alternative to suspending Harris, especially given that this case could not possibly happen without public knowledge of it, would seem to be keeping him eligible until completion of a police investigation. It's a binary choice. Given that, I think not suspending him, and thus suggesting that students will be able to continue with their lives despite allegations as serious as one of sexual assault and/or rape, has a far greater potential to take Florida down a slippery slope.

If this case is truly the "he said, she said" dispute with evidence that is "shaky at best," asFLORIDA TODAY reporter David Jones described, we may have two conflicting versions of the truth. If The Alligator's reporting is accurate, and Harris "forced himself" into the alleged victim's room, I have a hard time believing this is a true "he said, she said" case.

Here is where I sit: If Harris knowingly raped or sexually battered his alleged victim, he committed a heinous crime and made a colossal error in judgment. If Harris did something he thought was consensual without realizing his alleged victim disagreed, he needed to be more sensitive to that partner, or pick a different partner. If Harris had consensual sex with a partner who later filed a false report against him, he is probably the "actual" victim here, and made the wrong choice of sex partner.

Assigning probabilities to any of these possibilities is gross, and I won't do it. But, thus far, I have read and heard more to support the first two prospects than the latter one — and I think the latter scenario, even if it would amount to an innocent mistake by Harris compounded by the malice of a false accusation, still depends on a decision made by Harris to have sex in the first place.
