Is there any way that Kellen Moore is not the No. 1 non-BCS player in the country?
On behalf of football fans and college experts everywhere, I say, “I sure hope not.” Kellen Moore should be the best non-BCS player in any list of non-BCS players. He has put up shockingly good numbers for the best non-BCS team in football over the past two seasons. He is the leader of a Top Five non-BCS school with its eyes on a national championship. He is a legitimate Heisman candidate. It’s a no-brainer. Uh-oh. Brain alert! As we fatefully learned a couple weeks ago, not everyone thinks as highly of Kellen Moore as they ought. Phil Steele’s All-America list had four quarterbacks on its top four teams, and Kellen Moore was not one of them. Houston’s Case Keenum was. Couple Keenum love with an odd infatuation with Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick, and the debate about the No. 1 non-BCS player is a little more dramatic than it should be. Is Moore the best player among all non-AQs? Yes. Will he be named as such on the Top 25 list? Eh. We’ll see.
