This afternoon, David Lombardi and ESPN Pac-12 Blog, who provide good coverage of the conference, ran a piece titled, “Most important player: Colorado Buffaloes.”
Well right off the bat, it did it’s job, I clicked.
First off you see the rules for their most important player pieces:
1. Quarterbacks are ineligible.
2. “Most important” doesn’t equal “best.” (Note: Sometimes the most important player is the best player.) I think we can all agree that a season ago, players like Mike Bercovici and Jerry Neuheisel proved how very important they were to their respective teams.
