My BCS Predictions for 2009

So, a good number of us get excited about the big games we play out of the conference, and others look forward to those big conference games. But then there's the minority that ruminate about January. I'll admit, I do it regularly.

Markedly since I cheer for a team who hasn't been victorious in a bowl game since 2006, whereas up until that, they had won five straight. But I still stand devotedly next to them, and the Large Ten Conference.

So what's bound to happen in the non-BCS championship games? I have no clue, I'll work that out sometime this week or next. But with respect to the BCS Bowl Games, here's what I think is going to take place, and how it might be prevented from happening.

ROSE BOWL presented by Citi (Pasadena, CA) OSU Buckeyes vs (at) USC Trojans This game could effortlessly be prevented. I expect USC to suffer defeat one game at some point in the year, as they usually do.

If they get past the Buckeyes on September 12, then they'll be okay. But look out for the Cal Bears. I still expect S.C. will win the Pac-ten, lately becoming known as the "Pac-1." The Buckeyes play the men of troy at home in September, where they'd much rather be than Pasadena, mere miles from the Los Angeles Coliseum. But look out for that November 7 matchup, in Pleased Valley.

Needless to say, the last time the Bucks traveled there, they blew out the Lions 37-17. But they need a win, markedly if they be beaten to USC in September. If they might defeat the Trojans in September, and the Lions in November, they may be headed for the National Title. And the same goes for USC.

Tostitos FIESTA BOWL Oklahoma Sooners vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish One factor could put a stop to this match, October 17. That represents the day of the Red River Rivalry between the University of Oklahoma and Texas.

The winner of that, which I definitely forecast to be Texas, should basically easily make it to to the National Title. Nonetheless.. watch out for the OSU Cowboys. Notre Dame's return to glory should start hitting huge strides this year.

They have a tremendously seasoned franchise, and a number 13 preseason ranking. Assuming they be defeated to USC, but trounce their 84 other competitors (haha), they should find a nice spot in the BCS at year's end.

BCS National Championship Game sponsored by Citi (Pasadena, Ca) Florida Gators vs the Horns The Gators. Almost everyone picks them to find their way to Pasadena on January 7th, led by one of the supreme players of our generation, Tim Tebow. They have several tests during the year.. but everyone is anticipating their October ten showdown, at LSU. That and the Florida-Georgia game on Halloween are the major challenges for the Gators, along with whomever they play against in the SEC Title.
