California Chrome will look to end a decades-long drought and become the 12th Triple Crown winner in horse-racing history Saturday at the Belmont Stakes. As Miguel Cabrera proved in 2012 by winning baseball's Triple Crown, just because it has been a while doesn't mean such a task can't be accomplished.With that in mind, here are 10 college football "Triple Crowns" and a few players, or in some cases teams, that can accomplish them in 2014.The Triple Crown: Passing yards, passing touchdowns, passing efficiencyThe skinny: Oakland Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr nearly accomplished this last season when he led the country in passing yards and touchdowns, but was much further down the rankings in terms of efficiency. That ends up being the tough part of accomplishing this feat and makes it very similar to the Belmont in the horse-racing Triple Crown.The contenders: Jameis Winston (Florida State), Bryce Petty (Baylor), Sean Mannion (Oregon State), Rakeem Cato (Marshall) and Davis Webb (Texas Tech).
