College football season is winding down (many are waiting for those non-playoff bowls in Div 1). And, while the BCS has messed up again….it’s time to start with my list of college football injustices:

1. Xavier Omon …(I put this even before my Div 1 non-playoff rant)….This kid should win the Heisman, much less the Harlon Hill award. Isn’t this given to the best college football player in College football? That is what Xavier is….during playoff time..(which is what the OTHER colleges do), Xavier has run over 700 yards in the last 3 games against undefeated teams. Then OK…since he is a division 2 player he should easily win the coveted Harlon Hill award …NOPE! For some gawd awful reason….he was snubbed there, not even in the list of finalists. Now…Xavier not only has been red hot latley, he has been red hot for a while. It is a fact, that he is the only running back in college football history that has run for over 1500 yard in EACH of his 4 years of eligibility. The question is …… “How does he not win the Harlon Hill Award?”. Take the opportunity to watch this kid next Saturday for the NCAA Div 2 Championship, he will win you over.

2. The BCS over a genuine playoff system. You knew it was coming! The BCS does not work in a Parity situation. Guess what is going on in NCAA div 1a football…you guessed it… PARITY! In division 2 there were at least 4 undefeated teams going into the playoffs…Who is left standing to play in the playoffs? Valdosta State and Northwest Missouri State Univ. Both Teams defeated undefeated teams to get to the Championship Game. They had lost 1 game during the season prior to the playoffs. It sure would have been interesting to see if a BCS formula would have allowed these two teams to be in a Championship game….something tells me it would not have happened. In a parity situation, a playoff system is the only thing that works.

3. Missouri University being locked out of a BCS situation …See my above point Number 2.

4. Trivial and Stupid Bowl Games in Div 1a …..See my above point Number 2 again. In division 2, you play in a bowl game if you DO NOT make the playoffs. I think that most people would rather see a playoff system than the WhoCares.com bowl. Oh…but the money won’t be there when it goes from a bowl system to a playoff system. That is a load of dung…look at what it has done for basketball….and the other divisions in college football.

5. A sophomore winning the Heisman from Florida …. See my above point Number 1.

I gotta tell you.. it was a fun time covering St. Mary football this season. I did some work with Ottawa University as a student there. The KCAC really is a fun league to watch and have some nationally ranked teams in the conference. Besides seeing extremely talented teams some Spire players caught my eye as well. For some reason one of the most striking players was Gideon Anderson I guess because he did so much as just a Freshman. I saw some of the best receptions I’ve seen all year by any level football player by Charles Lee and Glen Wallin. Brian Bosley showed promise as well as did the entire Defensive squad itself who battled their team out of difficult situations all year and enabled them to compete in most every game, LaKAito Barr-Miller seemed to stand out as a leader of that squad. The offense of course has a long way to go to be a conference champion caliber group but I tell you if the Defense stays status-quo and the Offense finds their stride this could be an even more interesting team next season. I look forward to covering this team again and I hope to encourage local football fans to check out some NAIA action next season.
