re: McCarron/Lacy vs Murray/Gurley

But you chose them simply because they were part of a championship team.

That wasn't the only reason I chose them. I just assumed no-one would bother claiming they were the equivalent of Trent Dilfer, so I didn't bother stating what I considered to be obvious, i.e. that both sets of players were topnotch. If they weren't, this wouldn't be a question at all. Nobody is comparing Murray/Gurley to Vanderbilt's own McCrary/Webb here. They were comparing two Heisman-quality players to two Heisman-quality players. (The fact that one player on each side didn't actually make a serious run for the prize doesn't diminish their quality of play.) I came down on the side of the two that pushed through and won the title. That's not an insult in any way to Murray/Gurley, the two of whom I respect enormously and liked watching them play.
