I recently did a speech for a school project & I felt that I should post it on the site as well.  Essentially, it details my solution to the current BCS system.  Here’s the video:

Summary of the video:

• The top 16 teams in the final BCS ranking qualify for a 16-team tournament at the end of the season.
• If a conference champion is not in the top 16, that team automatically replaces the number 16 team in the playoff.  Example:  South Carolina is the number 16th ranked team according the final BCS rankings.  However, Missouri wins the Big XII championship and is only ranked 20th according to the BCS rankings.  Being that Missouri is a BCS conference team & won its conference title, Missouri will replace South Carolina in the tournament.
• A 16 team tournament would require 4 games to determine the national champion.  Most teams play a 4 game non-conference schedule.  With this plan, all teams would throw out their non-conference schedule and play only conference games in order to allow time for a 4 game tournament.

This week’s highlight comes to us from moneyjon.  It’s a sick kick return for a touchdown…notice how many tackles this guy breaks:

In all of the online games that I’ve ever played, I’ve never seen a player use lead blocking.  Some people think that it is only a gimmick and gives your opponent the opportunity to adjust his defense for your play.  However, using a lead block multiple times in a single game can add another variable that your opponent has to worry about.  Ever tried faking a lead block?  It’s simple…run a HB Sweep to the weak side & lead block with your strong side defensive end and see what happens.

Here’s how to activate the lead blocking system:

1. Take control of a lineman, blocking back, tight end, or wide receiver
2. On Xbox 360, press the LB button or the L1 button on PS3 to activate lead blocking
3. After the snap, control the blocker until you lock into a defender.  Press the right thumbstick UP to attempt to pancake the defender.  Press the right thumbstick DOWN to cut out the legs of the defender.  Keep in mind that you can’t pancake a lineman with a wide receiver.

Lead blocking is an invaluable tool and can be utilized against both human and CPU opponents.  The system allows you to open up the hole where you think the hole should be instead of relying on the AI of the game.

Good luck and happy blocking!
