Total Pro Sports - The Crimson Tide are rulers of the nation and No. 1in our College Football Power Rankings, after controlling much of the second half with their bruising ground attack.
The Florida Gators have blown out their sixth consecutive opponent, this week they handed their former coach Steve Spurrier his worst loss ever, smashing the Gamecocks 56-6. The Gators are waiting for one of the top 2 teams to stumble which would open the door for them to sneak into the Orange Bowl.
There is a dandy of a game next week when the Texas Tech Red Raiders travel to Norman to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. That game has huge implications on what the National Championship setup will look like. Both teams feature high scoring offenses, Heisman candidates at the quarterback position, play-making wide receivers and the ability to entertain the fans like no other teams can.

College Footall Heisman Watch: Wide Recievers
November 16, 2008
Total Pro Sports - Today we'll take a look at the top College Football Wide Recievers who are potentially in the running for the Heisman Trophy.
Top Heisman Wide Recievers Candidates:
1. Michael Crabtree (Texas Tech Red Raiders) - In what has been the game of the year so far in college football Michael Crabtree was the biggest star. He showcased his skills on prime time in the win against Texas making the game winning touchdown catch with 1 second left on the clock and sending all of Lubbock, Texas into mayhem. This NFL ready wide receiver leads the country in touchdown receptions with 18 and is in the top 5 in receiving yards with 1010. Crabtree and the Red Raiders hold a berth into the National Championship game in their own hands, if they can win out they will be playing in Florida in January.
College Football Heisman Watch: Running Backs
November 13, 2008
Total Pro Sports - Today we'll take a look at the top College Football Running Backs who are potentially in the running for the Heisman Trophy.
Top Heisman Running Backs Candidates:
1. Javon Ringer (Michigan State Spartans) - Michigan State is 9-2 for the first time since 1999 and atop the Big 12. Javon Ringer has been instrumental to the Spartans success, carrying the ball on average 32 times a game and 99 rush attempts ahead of the next nearest back at 353. This gives the Spartans a clock eater in the backfield. Ringer also leads the country in rushing touchdowns with 20 and rushing yards with 1548. His stock also rises if they can manage to beat PSU in the season finale and win the Big 12 for the first time since 1990. If Ringer does turn out to be only a runner up in the Heisman race he is still going to make a great NFL back with his workhorse numbers.
