Arkansas

That is the list of teams that would have won the National Title with Cam. That is how big of an impact he has.

Agreed, though a couple of teams would have an easier time than others. Two talking heads on ESPN this morning agreed that AU would have trouble making a bowl next season. I disagree, thinking they go 8-5 minimum. The point is, without CAM this past season they probably only win 7 or 8 games. He was that good. A team like LSU that had less than stellar QB play and went 11-2 with two one-score road losses would almost certainly have gone undefeated, probably with fewer close calls than AU. Arkansas had great QB play and still lost 3 games. They MSU and 'Bama could likely have squeaked by in similar fashion to AU. USCe and UF would have needed a bit more luck to come out on top but both have enough overall talent to have accomplished it.
