Who You See in the National Title Game?

Last week we asked you to chime in on who you think we will see play in this season's National Championship Game. We went over your responses and here are the ones we thought were the best.

Courtney from Florida

You can't overlook how awesome Alabama is. I definitely see them making it to the title game. I also see Georgia making it to the National Championship, although I think they will lose to 'Bama in the SEC Title game.

Mike from Ohio

I have 3 picks. First off Urban Meyer will lead the OSU Buckeyes to another undefeated season and on to the National Championship Game. The other pick is where the question lies. If Louisville  can go undefeated, I see them playing OSU in the title game. But if they stumble then Alabama will take on the Buckeyes in the most awaited game of the decade. 

Ben from Boston

I'm going to go with a couple of off the wall picks here. Tajh Boyd leads the Clemson Tigers to play Teddy Bridgewater and the Louisville Cardinals. Mark it down!

MonikaAndrews from Detroit

I see Michigan shocking the college football world, going undefeated and upsetting Alabama in the National Title Game.

CKW from Knoxville

As much as I would love to see my Vols go to the title game, I think the Texas Longhorns are going to surprise a lot of people and ein the National Championship,  beating Ohio State in the big game.

Thank you to everyone that participated in this topic. Stay tuned for more interactions in our upcoming articles

Is Jameis Winston the Answer for FSU?

With the graduation of former FSU standout EJ Manuel, the Seminoles have a huge void to fill at quarterback. Among the signal callers vying for the starting job is redshirt freshmen, and former Alabama high school phenom Jameis Winston. Winston who in 2012 was the #1 rated quarterback prospect by Rivals.com and a project top pick in the 2012 major league baseball amateur draft.  As a dual threat all everything quarterback in high school,  he committed to FSU over many of the other top programs in the country,  home state schools Alabama and Auburn included. 

During his high school career, he passed for close to 7,000 passing yards, and 2,913 rushing yards and scored 103 total touchdowns. Last season, Winston was redshirted so he didn't he any playing time at all, but he did play on the FSU baseball team this past spring, which he was able to finally show many Florida State fans just how strong his arm can be. Various reports of the FSU spring camp have given WInston rave reviews, highlighting his accuracy and arm strength.  Despite all the Winston hype, he isn't necessarily guaranteed to be under center come August. Jacob Coker and Sean Macguire, who both looked impressive throughout spring camp along with Winston. Between Coker, Macguire and Winston, head coach Jimbo Fisher really has an embarrassment of riches at the quarterback position.

In my opinion, I really do want Winston to win the job. I have been hearing about his potential to be a Robert Griffin III clone for close to 2 years now, I would love to see what he is all about in regular season action and as soon as possible. If Winston does win the job and with other dual threat QBs like Braxton Miller and Johnny Manziel, this season could be even more unpredictable and exciting than ever before.

Josh's Top Five SEC Defensive Linemen

1) Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina)
2) Anthony Johnson (LSU)
3) Dominique Easley (Florida)
4) Trey Flowers (Arkansas)
5) Bryan Jones (Arkansas)

Over the last 8 seasons in college football there hasn't been a more dominant conference in the country than the South Eastern Conference. With 7 straight national championships the SEC has become the hot bed of big time players and games. Over the years the SEC has been known as a defensive minded conference, and 2013 is no exception. Lead by Jadeveon Clowney, who might be the best player in the country this year, the SEC has no lack of talent along the defensive line this year.

Clowney is a clear cut #1 on the top defensive linemen list, followed by Anthony Johnson of LSU, who as a sophomore looks to improve on a 10 tackle for loss, and 3 sack season in 2012 and lead the Tigers' defensive line as they push for a 2013 SEC championship. Followed closely by Florida's brash, trash talking interior linemen Dominique Easley who may be ready to break out in 2013 similar to Sharrif Floyd last season.

The final two spots on this list are a part of a very underrated Arkansas Razorback defensive line in Trey Flowers and Bryan Jones. Flowers and Jones are both among the more dominant linemen in the country and coming off strong 2012 seasons look to lead a much improved Razorback team in 2013.

Jackson's Top Five SEC Running Backs

1. TJ Yeldon, ALA

2. Todd Gurley, UGA

3. Jeremy Hill, LSU

4. Keith Marshall, UGA

5. LaDarius Perkins, MSU

This is a very young group of running backs. Four of the five are sophomores. And although this is a list that is only showing the top running backs for the SEC, I firmly believe that we will see a few of these names being consider for best running back this year, and possibly the Heisman.

TJ Yeldon impressed me day one. The way that he ran over Michigan last season was impressive. Some chalked it up to a poor defensive showing from the Wolverines, but TJ proved it wasn't a fluke by rushing for over 1,000 yards last season and 12 touchdowns.

Todd Gurley is the first of two Georgia running backs on this list. Both are sophomores, and both are rather impressive. Gurley rushed for over 1,300 yards last season, and punched the ball into the endzone 17 times.

LSU's Jeremy Hill breaks up the Georgia duo in the number three spot. Hill carried the ball last season 142 times for 755 yards and 12 touchdowns. He will look to do a lot more than that in 2013.

Our second Georgia Bulldog on the list comes in at number four. His name is Keith Marshall. Marshall didn't quite put up the stats that Todd Gurley did, but he still impressed with 759 yards on the ground as well as eight touchdowns. He had quite a battle with Todd Gurley, but I don't see why Georgia coach Mark Richt wouldn't use both quite often. Having this dynamic duo would definitely be something to take advantage of.

The oldest of the five comes it at number five. Mississippi State's LaDarius Perkins rushed the ball a little over 200 times totally 1,016 yards and eight touchdowns. Perkins will look repeat a 1,000 season and hopefully put his Bulldogs in contention for an SEC Title.

We all know that the SEC is loaded with talent, and this list alone shows that they are stacked with talent just at the running back position. These guys will be very hard to stop. And the kicker is, many of them will be playing across from one another on many Saturdays this fall!
