MY OWN PERSONAL BCS PREDICTIONS
1. ROSE BOWL-PASADENA CALIFORNIA
USC (10-2) VS MICHIGAN (11-1)
THIS GAME REALLY HAS ME WONDERING. TO ME IT IS SHAPING UP TO BE THE BEST GAME OF THE BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES THIS YEAR. IT IS THE MOST INTRIGUING MATCH UP TO ME. THE KEY TO THIS GAME IS THE WOLVERINE DEFENSIVE FRONT. IF THEY CAN FIND A WAY TO GET TO JOHN DAVID BOOTY, IT IS GONNA BE A LONG DAY FOR THE MEN OF TROY. IF HE GETS THE PROTECTION HE NEEDS, IT COULD BE A LONG DAY FOR CARR'S BUNCH, WITH MAYBE THE BEST RECEIVING CORE IN THE COUNTRY. USC IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM WILL BE ABLE TO RUN THE BALL AT ALL SO THEY MIGHT AS WELL FORGET IT. I COULD BE WAY OFF WITH THIS ONE. MICHIGAN IS FOR REAL, BUT FOR SOME REASON I LIKE PETE CARROLL IN THIS SITUATION AND THEY WAY HE PREPARES FOR A TEAM. THE WAY UCLA TREATED THEM WILL BE SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE FROM MICHIGAN, EXCEPT THEY ARE A LOT BIGGER, AND A LOT FASTER. I HAVE A FEELING USC'S DEFENSE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTAIN MIKE HART AND FORCE THE HAND TO CHAD HENNE, SO THE QUARTERBACK PLAY IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE HUGE FOR BOTH TEAMS. LIKE I SAID I JUST HAVE THIS FEELING, I AM GOING WITH PETE CARROLL IN A VERY TIGHT GAME. I AM GONNA GO WITH USC 28, MICHIGAN 20
2. FIESTA BOWL (GLENDALE ARIZONA)
OKLAHOMA (11-2) VS BOISE STATE(12-0)
BOISE STATE FINALLY GETS THEIR CHANCE HERE TO SHOW WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF. I LIKE THIS TEAM AND THEY ARE FUN TO WATCH, BUT I JUST DONT KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE. OKLAHOMA HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE TEAMS OF THE SEASON IN MY EYES. WITH WHAT THEY HAVE HAD TO ENDURE. I DONT SEE THEM LIGHTING UP BOISE STATE BY ANY MEANS, BUT I DONT SEE BOISE STATE PUTTING UP MANY POINTS ON THIS DEFENSE. ADRIAN PETERSON IS BACK AND YOU KNOW THAT HE IS READY AND EXCITED TO PLAY IN THIS GAME. I SEE OL STOOPS JUST POUNDING IT EARLY AND OFTEN AND JUST WEARING BOISE STATE DOWN. I THINK IT WILL BE A SLOW MOVING GAME. BOISE STATE MADE THE BCS AND THIS WILL BE THE FIRST MAJOR OPPONENT THEY HAVE SEEN. I JUST CANT FIND ANYWAY POSSIBLE THAT THEY CAN WIN THIS GAME. TO ME ITS SIMPLE, OKLAHOMA SHUTS DOWN THE OFFENSE AND THEN THEY JUST RUN IT ALL OVER THEM ALL DAY AND I SEE THEM WINNING SOMETHING LIKE 24-7.
3. ORANGE BOWL IN MIAMI FLORIDA
WAKE FOREST (11-2) VS LOUISVILLE (11-1)
WHETHER YOU THINK THEY DESERVE IT OR NOT, IF LOUISVILLE WOULD HAVE BEATEN RUTGERS THIS SEASON, THEY MIGHT BE PLAYING FOR THE NATIONAL TITLE. THIS OFFENSE IS ABOUT AS IMPRESSIVE AS IT GETS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. THEY CAN RUN IT, OR THEY CAN THROW IT. WHATEVER YOU WANT THEM TO DO, THEY WILL DO. I LOVE WHAT WAKE FOREST HAS DONE THIS SEASON. IF THERE WAS ANY WAY POSSIBLE THEY COULD KEEP THIS GAME CLOSE ENOUGH, I COULD SEE THEM PULLING IT OFF, BUT I JUST DONT SEE THAT HAPPENING. I AM NOT SURE WAKE FOREST HAS THE DEFENSE TO SLOW LOUISVILLE DOWN, AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THEY DONT HAVE THE OFFENSE TO KEEP UP. I SEE LOUISVILLE PULLING AWAY IN THE 2ND HALF AND WINNING 38-17.
4. SUGAR BOWL IN NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA
LSU (10-2) VS NOTRE DAME (10-2)
EVERYONE KNOWS MY FEELINGS FOR NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL SO I WONT RANT AND RAVE TOO MUCH HERE. CONGRATULATIONS, ONCE AGAIN YOU BOUGHT YOUR WAY IN TO THE BCS. I CAN THINK OF ABOUT 10 TEAMS MORE DESERVING TO BE IN THE BCS THAN NOTRE DAME, BUT I WONT LIST THOSE HERE TODAY. LSU IS THE BEST 2 LOSS TEAM IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL RIGHT NOW. THEY HAVE SO MUCH TALENT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. THEY ARE BIG, THEY ARE FAST, AND THEY ARE ATHLETIC. I AM SORRY BUT THIS GAME COULD JUST GET OUTRIGHT UGLY. LSU COULD RUN ON THIS DEFENSE, BUT THEY MAY JUST CHOOSE TO TEAR APART THE WORST SECONDARY IN THE NATION. NOTRE DAME'S DEFENSE IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH, AND IF "THE BEST COACH IN THE NATION", WANTS TO START WINNING WITH THE BIG BOYS, HE MIGHT WANT TO RECRUIT SOME DEFENSE. BRADY QUINN WILL HAVE A ROUGH DAY AGAINST THIS DEFENSE AND IT WONT BE ALL HIS FAULT. THE PROTECTION JUST WONT BE THERE FOR HIM. IT IS ANOTHER BIG GAME FOR ND AND CHARLIE AND IT SHOULD BE ANOTHER LOSS, AND IT MAY NOT BE CLOSE AT ALL. LSU HAS THE TENDENCY TO TURN THE BALL OVER QUITE A BIT, SO BECAUSE OF THAT I WILL GO WITH SOMETHING LIKE 31-16. SORRY CHARLIE, BUT THEY NEED TO REDUCE YOUR PAYCHECK A LITTLE BIT.
5. BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN GLENDALE ARIZONA
FLORIDA (12-1) VS OHIO STATE (12-0)
THIS GAME NEEDS TO HURRY UP AND GET HERE. URBAN MEYER HAS BEEN LOBBYING FOR THIS MATCH UP FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND HE GOT HIS WISH. CLEARLY AS OF RIGHT NOW, OHIO STATE IS THE BEST TEAM IN THE NATION. SO NOW WE GET TO FIND OUT IF FLORIDA BELONGS AND HOW GOOD THEY ARE. THIS COULD BE THE FASTEST DEFENSE THAT OHIO STATE HAS SEEN THIS YEAR. THE CORNERS ARE QUICK AND IT IS GONNA BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEY MATCH UP WITH THE BUCKEYE RECEIVERS. OH YEAH AND THE SAFETIES ARE PRETTY GOOD ALSO. THE LINE IS BIG UP FRONT AND THEY ARE GREAT AGAINST THE RUN. WE HAVE LEARNED A FEW THINGS ABOUT FLORIDA THIS YEAR. THEIR BEST RUNNERS ARE THEIR BACK UP QB AND THEIR WIDE RECEIVERS. HERE IS A NOTE TO THE BUCKEYE DEFENSE. WHEN TEBOW IS IN THE GAME, HE JUST MAY TAKE THE SNAP AND RUN LEFT. PLEASE STOP THIS PLAY LIKE NO ONE ELSE HAS. HE IS A GREAT ATHLETE, BUT COME ON, SURELY A DEFENSE CAN STOP THIS ONCE. OFFENSIVELY THEY DONT SCARE ME AT ALL. CHRIS LEAK HAS THROWN 13 INT'S THIS SEASON AND HAS REALLY STRUGGLED. IF THE BUCKEYE DEFENSE CAN RATTLE HIM EARLY, THEY WONT SCORE MUCH AT ALL. THIS GAME COMES DOWN TO WHO GETS THE MOMENTUM STARTED EARLY, THE FLORIDA DEFENSE OR THE BUCKS OFFENSE. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO NOT GO WITH TROY SMITH IN THIS ONE, THEY WAY HE HAS PLAYED THIS SEASON. I THINK HE MAKES SOME BIG PLAYS AND DOES JUST ENOUGH TO BEAT A PRETTY DARN GOOD DEFENSE. FLORIDA DOESNT HAVE THE FIREPOWER ON OFFENSE TO GET IT DONE. I LIKE THE BUCKS TO WIN THE NATIONAL TITLE( I KNOW BIG SHOCKER THERE). OHIO STATE 27, FLORIDA 17.
USC (10-2) VS MICHIGAN (11-1)
