The NCAA Football season officially came to an end this week when Army and Navy faced off once again to mark the end of the regular season and the beginning of the Bowl season. The last week of the season only had the one game between two teams that are not the most intriguing for many. That didn’t stop the week from being an interesting one as there was plenty of news throughout the week. One of the biggest news stories of the week involved one of the biggest NCAA programs in the nation and the future of the team.

NCAA football is a strange mix in sports as it is both entertainment and a way for young players to earn an education. It is multi-billion dollar industry but makes its money off of the efforts of young men who are supposed to be there to earn an education that they might have otherwise never been able to get. The pay for play debate in the NCAA has been done time and time again and will not be talked about in this week in review. Instead it is the attitude of teams and players alike in the NCAA that will be the focus.

The 11th week of the NCAA season would make some big waves in the season as top teams would have their biggest games of the season. Two of the top three teams in the BCS would have games against teams that have proven to be the thorns in their side. In two big conference games the Oregon Ducks and Alabama Crimson Tide would take on teams that could change their seasons. For the Ducks it was the Stanford Cardinal while the Tide would take on the LSU Tigers who have shown to be the thorns in the side for the Ducks and the Tide.

The NCAA would see possibly one of the worst weeks of football in recent memory as it seemed that the entire league had taken a week off. The top teams in the league would take on some much lesser talent and smaller schools. It is something that happens often as head coaches are allowed to schedule their own games and pick a few weak teams to go against.

The Heisman Trophy is one of the most legendary trophies in football as it has been given out since 1935. The trophy has evolved over time as it has always been handed out to the best player in the NCAA. What that means is what has evolved over time as the best player in the NCAA has become a much larger debate. The best player in the NCAA has always been considered the best offensive player in the league.

This was the matchup that people had been waiting for as two of the most storied programs would face off for the Nation Championship. It was to be a game between two old school teams playing old school football. Defence against defence with the National Championship going to the offence that can break through first. One of the big matchups inside the game would not just be two legendary teams facing off but instead the dominance of the SEC.

This is what the NCAA is all about as the National Championship is here and the matchup is a dream of all football fans. It is not the new and exciting offences or the new rising schools that will face off on January 7th but instead a call back to the old days. When I say old days I mean OLD days as two of the oldest NCAA programs face off for the biggest bowl game of the year.

There is only one thing constant in the NCAA and that is that there will be upsets and that they cannot be predicted. It seemed this year that there was going to be one constant though as the Alabama Crimson Tide looked unbeatable. After losing one game in 2011 they still made the National Championship and won it all.

The NCAA is in the heart of their season as every game becomes that much more important and schedules get even tougher. As every game gets much more important the pressure is amped up as a loss can mean the end to any hopes of a BCS bowl. For some teams the pressure is welcomed as they only step up in the times where they need a win.
