When you talk about College Football coaches the name Les Miles is usually hardly mention or way down the list. It should not be that way, but unfortunately that is they way it is. Miles by now should get a lot more respect than he does. Going into this season he has had many off the field things to deal with as some players got into trouble. Miles stayed the course and now he is on top of the College Football world once again. His LSU Tigers are No.1 in the polls and BCS Standings.
Why doesn't Les Miles get the respect he deserves? There are probably tons of reasons for that, but in reality he really does not care. He does things his own way, and so far it has gotten him a National Championship and he may add to that very soon with a second one. His career mark of 99-38 is very respectable, but it seems no one cares. Les Miles is one of the elite College Football coaches even though no one seems to acknowledge it. Ask LSU fans if they would trade their coach for anyone else and you will get a resounding NO!!

NFL Surprises This Season No One Expected
We are half way through the NFL season and it is time to look at some of the surprises that no one expected. Now most people thought the Green Bay Packers were going to be good, but not this crazy good. They are without the doubt the cream of the crop. Some of the other surprise teams are Cincinnati who sport an impressive 6-2 record and tied for first place. The Houston Texans look like they may finally get to the playoffs finally as this team looks very good.
Out of all the teams that have shocked me would be the San Francisco 49ers who are 7-1 and easily running away with the NFC West. Jim Harbaugh is getting the job done with the same players that no one else could. Give Harbaugh a lot of credit for getting the 49ers back so quickly and a title contender in his first NFL season as a head coach. That's some impressive stuff to say the least.
The AFC West or should I say the AFC Least as this is a division anyone could win as no team seems to want to take control of this division. San Diego is probably the biggest surprise for me. They have talent and they never seem to get it going until it is too late. Norv Turner better watch out as he could be looking for a job soon if the Chargers continue to slide backwards.

Don't Count Tim Tebow Out Just Yet As Broncos Win 38-24
It looks like no matter how hard we try to write off Denver Broncos Tim Tebow he survives another week. Tim Tebow was not great against the Oakland Raiders going 10-21 for 124 yards and two touchdowns. The most important stat though is the Broncos won the game by a score of 38-24. What really help Tebow in this game was Willis McGahee rushed for 163 yards and Tebow added 117. If the Broncos get those kind of numbers every week from those two players they have a chance to win.
Back to Tim Tebow and his play at quarterback. He was not real effective, but he is getting a little better. The offense is being designed more around what he can do and that will help him out a lot. Tebow still does not look very comfortable, and it may take awhile before he is that's for sure. Give Tebow time and he may just become an NFL quarterback. That is something his critics do not want to hear, but it is a distinct possibility.

BCS Championship Series Rankings Nov 7, 2011
LSU holds the top spot in the BCS ranking and will keep it unless they lose. Oklahoma State will probably stay No.2 unless they lose as well. Alabama could sneak in by one of the Top two teams losing. Boise State sits fifth with another winning season and little chance for a National Title sot again. It's a shame, but with the system we have in place they are always going to get screwed.
