With such an illustrious career and statistical obscene season, why isn’t Case Keenum receiving serious attention for the 2011 Heisman Trophy?

Keenum leads the nation for fifth place ballots – so writers around the nation include him because they feel obligated?

College football fans can witness the game’s all-time leading passer on an undefeated team this weekend as ESPN takes its mobile Gameday set to Houston – can ESPN reset the Heisman discussion by providing Keenum a national platform that he does not normally get from the CBS College Sports Network?

The fantasy sports fans among us operate on a very populist level of meritocracy – great example is from 2007 Paul Smith’s yards at Tulsa equaled Tim Tebow’s yards at Florida so we view the sport through a production-centric lens. So, the fantasy college football community will no doubt support Keenum.

Most of the rest of the pundits and fans apply another lens that factors in strength of schedule, or NFL prospect, or their own home team bias. These other viewpoints have their place, but do they really matter when trying to define “the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity”?

You are either in one of 2 boats: you have Case Keenum, Patrick Edwards, and Montee Ball and have crushed your league this season, your team is set and you arent looking to tinker with what got you here….or you eeked in as the last seed and you have a team that is all smoke and mirrors, you are still looking for the right starts and those sneaky plays to keep you playing one more weekend. And there is nothing like the weak defenses of Conference USA to help you get wins in November.

QB:
Dominique Davis, ECU vs UTEP — UTEP has no chance of slowing down this Pirate attack. The only downside here for Davis is that the UTEP offense doesnt keep pace and ECU goes into clock-drain mode a little early. RB Reggie Bullock is also out for this game, which further boosts the stock of Davis who has had 3 rushing TDs the last 2 games in the absence of Bullock.

GJ Kinne, Tulsa vs Marshall — UCF held Kinne in check last week, Marhsall will not be able to fare so well. UCF aside, he has been on fire since the BYE completing 67% of his passes and the rushing attempts have come back as well with 54 in the last 4 games.

You may have heard Case Keenum (right, Houston Chronicle) threw 9 TD last night in the rain against Rice .

Only thing more odd is that Rice stayed in man zero coverage the whole freaking game. Phenomenal, and they are supposed to be smart at Rice. You did start Keenum, right?
