Fox Sports recaps how football recruiting is going so far.

They have VY a clear #2. Be sure to check our Heisman poll.

That means Texas now has the nation’s 2nd longest win streak behind USC.

We learned in January that Electronic Arts (and all other developers except Take Two) had lost the rights to develop baseball games depicting Major League Baseball teams or players. EA’s MVP Baseball 2005 was probably the best baseball game on the market last year so it was bad news for a lot of fans of the game and MLB video games in general.

But bad news for them is good news for college baseball fans. The first screenshots of EA’s new college baseball game called MVP 06 NCAA Baseball have surfaced and they look great. And who else to feature in the game than the National Champion Texas Longhorns? The graphics look good and it’s cool to see those burnt orange unis and the aluminum bat in a video game.

The game will feature a dynasty mode taking your team on the Road to Omaha, but will they be able to truly recreate the college atmosphere? Will there be recruiting? Pitchers who play third base? Accurate college stadiums? Or will it just be the same game wrapped in some new uniforms with a lot of new teams? One of the best things about EA’s NCAA Football games is the true college feel of the game, hopefully their attempt at college baseball is just as successful and just as fun.

I predict it outsells anything Take Two releases.

Maybe he shouldn’t have cheapshotted Mike Griffin the play before. It’s called karma baby.

I didn’t realize that was his first TD.

Our Thoughts

Brian – No movement this week, though I was tempted to bump Chris Leak above Matt Leinart. Another week for Leak and Omar Jacobs like the last two and Leinart may find himself at the bottom of my list. Vince Young has cemented his spot as my favorite to win the award.

Matt – Vince Young finally proved he is a quarterback, doing what star quarterbacks do, leading his team to victory. I think it is now his trophy to lose.
