Masoli - He can pass, he can run, and he's built like a fullback. Plus - anyone who can memorize the Oregon playbook has to be damn smart.

An amazing player, great college quarterback, though he will likely be a tight end in the NFL.

The Tebow-love really needs to go away. Good grief. He'll never play QB in the NFL anyway. Masoli gets my vote.

Tebow has the raw talent over both the others in contention by a landslide! Besides, he embarassed Bradford in the BCS bowl last year.

Another year of NCAA/BCS fraud! Texas will have to score over 100 points against Oklahoma in October to get the NCAA's attention -- that and a season history-making performance from Colt McCoy might still not be enough. It's as if women have taken over the sport with "style points" counting for more than wins on the field. We need to throw ALL the NCAA management out and start fresh with an honest playoff system!

Amen!!!! All exept for the comment about women...I am a just slightly offended.

If Texas hadn't been robbed of being picked to play in the national championship game, Colt McCoy easily would have won the Heisman Trophy last year. He will demonstrate this year that he is by far the best college player in the nation. Colt for Heisman winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys seem to be the only whiners on the board, practicing again this year for when you are watching the Sooners win yet another Big XII championship? Bradford...hands down over your little man down south. No comparison.

The whining starts from the top. You learn from the best when you have Mack Brown for a coach. Nobody whines and cries better. We'll settle this the way we should. On the field. You say you already did that last year? Tell that to Texas Tech. And stop crying already!

It is amazing how quickly some forget. Sam Bradford had one of the greatest seasons in college football history, won the heisman, and would have been the #1 pick in the NFL draft. The Sooners didn't get the job done against Florida (not Sam's fault) , but to say that Tim 'the chosen one' Tebow is better is a joke. Colt is at least a favorable comparison.

Colt has it hands down. The most accurate passer in NCAA history and absolutely crucial for his team. Neither Tebow nor Bradford are as acuurate ......both had better supporting casts and could not achieve his numbers.

It's unfortunate that this race seems to already be down to three QB before the season has started by the so called pundits. Why not a defensive player? Eric Berry should be in the mix as an example. He is 18 yards from setting the NCAA interception return yardage record and most people who matter think he is the best defensive player in the country.

Marie Smith-997364

Tebow all the way. He is absolutely awesome on and off the field. What an example he is to all college players and students. No one else compares.

#12 - Wed Sep 2, 2009 12:20 PM EDT

Moral-Authority

Sam Bradford's humility is a wonderful thing. These are all decent human beings. Sam's the defending MVP & should be the favorite until otherwise. He's the next Tom Brady, Colt McCoy's the next Drew Brees, Tim Teebow's the next...hmm...

Moral Authority - the name is Tebow - not Teebow - and remember what happened last year........................................because it will happen again to you and to Texas this year. Chomp, chomp!!!!!!!!!!

As was famously quoted last year, Tebow would be the fifth best QB in the Big 12 (Bradford, McCoy, Robinson, Harrell). I know his urine cures cancer, but a 20 year old virgin is either a self loathing homosexual or a sociopath. A great college football player, a great example to young kids, and probably an all around good person, but not in the same QB league as Bradford. Bradford will be the only name you hear on Sundays when he decides to go.

Donald you have been snorting way too much Okie buffalo dungt! You OBVIOUSLY did not watch the same game we watched in Miami! When the going got TOUGH Tebow stepped up and showed Sammy boy what being the MAN is all about. Actually you also have TT age wrong BTW. AS far as his viginity goes has nothing to do with his atletic prowess!
