Well after Texas narrowly avoided jaunting themselves out of the BCS title game but they ended up beating Nebraska and the best player in college football Ndamukong Suh and now will play Alabama in the BCS title game. While I do feel, after careful examination, that Bama is well deserving of a spot in the title game I feel Texas is not even the best team in their own STATE that honor belongs to TCU, who should be playing Bama in the title game but if not them Tony Pike and Cincy should be playing for the title.
Heisman Trophy prediction: While i feel Suh is the best player in college football I am realistic in acknowledging the fact that a D-linemen won't win the Heisman. That being the case I think the Heisman should go to Stanford RB Toby Gerhart but I think it will go to the RB for #1 Alabama Mark Ingram.
Top 5 Non-BCS games:
1. Capital One Bowl: Penn state vs. LSU
2. Holiday Bowl: Nebraska vs. Arizona
3. Meineke Car Care Bowl: Pitt vs. UNC
4. Sun Bowl: Stanford vs. Oklahoma
5. Gator Bowl: WVU vs. FSU (Bowden's last game)
Now on to the BCS Bowls
Orange Bowl: GT vs. Iowa: I feel the way to beat Tech is to get out to a huge lead and force them to abandon their option offense I don't think Iowa will be able to do this and Tech will win 24-17.
Rose Bowl: Oregon, and national coach of the year candidate Chip Kelley, have rebounded nicely from the opening night debachle at Boise to make the Rose Bowl where their three headed monster of LaMichael James, LaGarrett Blount, and QB Jerimiah Massoli will carry them to a victory over Ohio State by the score of 31-20.
Sugar Bowl: Tony Pike and the Bearcats came back to win the Big East against Pitt and now faces Tim Tebow and Florida. In this game I see Tony Pike having a great game with Mardy Gilyard making a key special teams play to lead the Bearcats to victory 34-31.
Fiesta Bowl: Suprise, Suprise the two non-BCS party crashers are matched up against each other. This allows the BCS conferences to avoid the emabarassment of what happened last year to Bama and three years ago to Oklahoma by having two non-BCS schools beating BCS schools which would push the record of non-BCS teams in BCS games to 5-1. In this game I see TCU making a late stop to win this game by the score of 27-24.
BCS National Title game: For the second straight year two heisman candidates and two national championship winning coaches meeting in a Big 12-SEC matchup and you can expect the SEC to come out on top again. Texas, will struggle on offense as Bama has no reason to fear their running game outside of McCoy while on offense Alabama will be extremly balanced and end up winning by a score of 27-20.
So we will end the season with 3 unbeaten teams for the second time (2004) and yet two teams will never have the chance to play for the national title so until we have a 8 team playoff we will never have a true national champion.
