And while we're at it...Go Toby!

As long as we're rooting for all the Pac 10 teams to come out on top at this year's bowl games, let's throw in our votes for Stanford's Toby Gerhart for the Heisman Trophy.

On Saturday, I expect the hardware will go to Florida quarterback Tim Tebow or the Texas signal-caller, Colt McCoy. But why not give it to Gerhart? The 6-1, 235-pound senior rushed for 1,736 yards and 26 touchdowns...the most by any player in the country.

Against the Fighting Irish last week, Gerhart rushed for 205 yards and three touchdowns...and pretty much hammered the final nail in the coffin for old Charlie's job at Notre Dame. And against the Ducks, earlier in the season, Gerhart rushed for a season-high 223 yards and three touchdowns as Stanford edged Oregon, 51-42. In his collegiate career, Gerhart amassed 3,387 yards and 42 touchdowns.

Okay, so he's not a quarterback. Maybe, I'll receive a phone call this week and be asked to pencil in the deciding vote. Just kidding. So, maybe the best I can hope for is for Gerhart to run wild at the Sun Bowl. The people who are setting the line for these bowl games have Oklahoma favored by 9 1/2. They don't expect Toby to do much...and historically, they haven't favored the Pac 10 to do much either.

This year they are doing better, they actually have the Pac 10 teams favored in most of the bowls...including, believe it or not, Arizona, favored by 1! Go Toby and go Pac 10.
