[...] and BCS polls, they are starting to catch a few peoples’ eyes. While I was in Texas watching BSU’s victory over Central Michigan in a bar I had people keep coming up to me and asking who Ball State was, where they were, and why [...]

I tell you what, I understand your affinity for Tebow as a Gators fan…but LeFevour is pretty damn good. I think he is definitely “better” than the conference he plays in, as is Nate Davis.

After the top tier of Tebow, Harrell, McCoy, Bradford, etc…I think LeFevour and Davis are right there as far as QBs go. Maybe not top 10, but right on the fringe.

And considering LeFevour leads CMU in both passing and rushing, I’m not so sure that calling him a poor man’s Tebow is too far off. That’s a pretty incredible compliment to Tebow and LeFevour I think.

I just saw that snow should stop and winds of only 5-10 MPH.. Two great quarterbacks, and as a Florida Gator who only has betting interest I see CMU losing but only by or 4. I say 34-30 Ball State, but I won’t be shocked if CMU wins. By the way, was anyone taken back when CMU QB was called a “poor man’s Tim Tebow”. I love Timmy but that was innappropriate!

Thanks for the weather update Kolbe. I did not realize that when I made the prediction. I can definitely see the swirling winds slowing things down a bit.

I’m think this game is a toss up as well, but I’m taking Central Michigan +7. I don’t think the score will be as high as you’re predicting. It’s supposed to be snowing in Mount Pleasant and the winds are predicted to be blowing 20-30 mph. This will calm the passing attack of Ball State and help Cent. Michigan’s horrible secondary.
