Schools currently in the Big Six conferences have captured the last twenty national championships and theres no reason to think that will change this year.These conferences recruit top players, play inhumongous stadiums, and spend tons of money on college football every year. Maybe Texas should be sympathetic to the plight of Boise State, Cincinnati, and TCU, after all, Texas has been on the wrong side of a tiebreaker before. But dont expect any apologies from the Longhorns now that they have overcome the sorrows of last years snub, emerging unbeaten and hungry for another championship.TCU was ranked fourth in the BCS standings, AP poll, and Coaches' poll before Championship Weekend and theoretically has the best chance to overtake Texas in the polls, but despite victories against top Mountain West foes Utah and BYU, the Horned Frogs would be hard-pressed to prove to state residents that they have a better team than their peers in Austin.The Big East was as good or better than the ACC, Pac-10, and Big Ten this season and Cincinnati presents the best argument for title game inclusion for the conference since the days of Hokies (Virginia Tech) and Hurricanes (Miami) The Bearcats beat several ranked opponents and beat No 13 Oregon State on the road No. 5 Cincy finished with a nail-biting, 45-44 win on the road against No. Still, Boise State didnt face tougher opposition away from its field of blue.Schools and teams cannot control polls or computers. Tony Pike Cincinnati 6'5.5 220 Projects as a Mid to Late 1st Round Pick Could possibly slip into the 2nd round Easily the best senior QB Prospect Improved Decision making Proved he can almost any throw Handles adversity well in the pocket. Great accuracy for a spread type QB. NFL Comparison- A poor mans Ben Roethlesberger2 Sean Canfield Oregon State 6'4 214 2nd-3rd Round Pick Throws the prettiest ball in this years class Great mechanics and has been well schooled.

NFL Comparison- Matt Leinart with a better brain and a bit more talent.3. . NRG said the offer was too low, prompting Exelon to bypass NRG's management and make a tender offer directly to shareholders.Under the offer, NRG shareholders had tendered 106.3 million shares, or just more than 45.6 percent of all outstanding shares of NRG common stock, Exelon said.Exelon extended the exchange offer to February 25 It was previously scheduled to close on January 6. Exelon has offered to acquire NRG at a fixed price of 0.485 shares of Exelon common stock for each share of NRG common stock."We are very pleased with the momentum our exchange offer is receiving among NRG shareholders," Exelon Chairman and Chief Executive John Rowe said. "Today's initial results exceed our expectations by a considerable margin."Exelon said it would continue to explore a number of options in acquiring NRG, including proposing independent nominees to serve on NRG's board of directors.NRG could not immediately be reached for comment.(Reporting by Jessica Hall, editing by Maureen Bavdek) Deals. I know April is about five months away, but being a draft junkie, it's hard to not look towards next season and the holes needed to fill on our roster. I must also give props to the huge shoes second year center John Sullivan is filling with the offseason departure of Matt Birk. While I think his play will only improve, this is why I think the Minnesota Vikings should surround these two future pro bowlers with another young stud to solidify the right side, while giving future relief to our aging line.I, like many others, do not think any of the three top quarterbacks will fall to us in the twenties, so the less obvious choice is offensive line.

McKinnie, Hutch, and the pathetic excuse for RG's and backup RT's are near or going to be over the wrong side of thirty.Another area of serious concern is the secondary, without Antione Winfield, we've been anything but effective. Karl Paymah and Benny Sapp over rookie Asher Allen dumbfounded me for most of the season, I know he is not the fasted of CB's but I guarantee he's faster than lucky Cedric Griffin on the opposite side. My 2010 Vikings mock Rounds 1-3.Round 1, Pick 28: Mike Iupati, G, Idaho. 6'5", 330 lbs., Sr., 5.25 40 time.One of three finalists named for the Outland Trophy, Iupati has shown through his senior campaign he has what it takes to be a road grading run blocker in the NFL. Plug him in as an immediate starter next to solid talent, and the sky becomes the limit for this young kid, a future pro bowler for sure as he's ranked the No. 1 G according to scout Potential TradeVikings 2010 2nd round pick and RB Chester Taylor to Cleveland for 2010 33rd overall pick.Round 2, pick 33: Colt McCoy, QB, Texas, 6'2", 210 lbs.I know immediately I will take heat for this, but I strongly believe McCoy has the intangibles (aside from rocket arm) to become a very effective West Coast NFL starting QB, and what can be worse than the reach of the century back in 2006 for Tarvaris Jackson.

A four year starter at Texas, big game experience, especially with a solidified BCS championship bid this year, I think McCoy if not thrown to the wolves and learning behind Favre could be a dark horse for QB gem of the 2010 draft. He's able to read defenses decently and has enough in his legs to tuck and run rather than force the bad throw. I know it's a reach, but I like the idea.Round 3: Robert Johnson, FS, Utah, 6'2", 200 lbs, 4.52 40 timeLike I said, M Williams is a backup at best. This kid out of Utah has shot-up my draft boards due to his great cover speed and excellent ball skills Great height, could use a bit of frame building. May have to sit one year, but does possess starting quality talent.I'm a bit rusty on late round selections, a lot of mocks I've seen have a RB selected in the later rounds. I believe moving Ian Johnson to practice squad was a horrible offseason decision by the Vikes, as he's Chester's replacement.Hope you enjoy, I welcome all criticism and insight Like I said, this is my first team mock, be easy..
