    I'm flip-flopping on my FWAA ballot. So I'm turning to the esteemed membership of this board for help.

    I waffled between Grobe and Schiano, eventually voting for Grobe.

    I'll also add that, at 7-4 with a game to go, Dick Tomey should be on that list of candidates too.

    Houston Nutt... they wanted him OUT a year ago and now he's gone 10-2...

    Very good case for Carr, from 7-5 to a possible BCS title game spot/

    I picked Schiano over Grobe because Wake Forest has been getting better the past few years, so this season, to me, wasn't out of nowhere the way Rutgers was.

    End of thread, story, argument.

    I think there's a guy in Los Angeles who did every bit as nice a coaching job as any of those guys, probably even better, considering the talent he lost from a year ago.

    Um ... uh ... NO.

    I'd have no problem with Grobe No. 1, but I'd also have no problem with Schiano No. 1. Let them go 1-2 in whatever order you want and then pick whoever you want at No. 3.

    I like Schiano at #1, Grobe at #2, but I also think a case can be made for Stoops, losing his star QB prior to the season and forced to use a player who played WR the year before as his signal caller. Battled through injuries to his all-american halfback and still may win the Big 12 and make the trip to a BCS Bowl if the Sooners can beat Nebraska in the Conference championship game. I think he's done a hell of a job with all of the stuff they've had to battle through.
