It's Week 3 of the college football season and we already have a clear Heisman favorite in Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson. Last year at this time, Michigan also had a Heisman candidate in Tate Forcier. You may recall he didn't win the Heisman.
One week is way too small a sample size to judge a team, obviously. And we're not going to really know about the Kansas City Chiefs until they come back from their Week 4 bye and play two straight roadies at Indianapolis and Houston. But there they are, alone in first place in the AFC West after their 21-14 win over division favorite San Diego -- with a winnable game at Cleveland coming up.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The highlight of a cold, foggy night at AT&T Park came after the game, and not even on the field. Beyond the right-field wall, next to the Cable Car, stands a flag pole that has banners for the five teams in the National League West, arranged in order of the standings. It is rather inconspicuous, and many Giants fans may not have even noticed it was there.
