I like Florida to cover the -3 against Oklahoma.
USC to cover the -10 over Penn State
I'll take Utah and the +11 against Alabama
I'll take Oregon and the +3 against Oklahoma State
I like Ohio State and the +9 against Texas
I like TCU and the -2 against Boise State
I'll take Iowa and the -3 against South Carolina
I like Oregon State and the -3 against Pittsburgh

That's eight games that look pretty good to me. You just can't take Oklahoma when they've lost four straight BCS bowl games. The Big 10's tradition of getting "blown out" in the Rose Bowl is legendary. Utah will give Alabama some trouble - although I think Bama gets that game. If Big 12 teams were puttin' fifty on OK State - then Oregon is gonna roll about seventy on them. Ohio State's defense will give Texas something that they haven't seen all year - that's called pass coverage and tackling. TCU's defense will frustrate Boise. Iowa is the most underrated team in America, and will take SOS to the woodshed, yet again. Good thing he has a job for life. Oregon State will most likely dismantle Pittsburgh. The Beavers are gonna be very nasty in this one.

"All signs point to Florida running away with it."

That's what people (myself included) were saying about OSU the year FL beat them.

Now that I think about it, I think I only predicted OSU to beat FL by 6.

Zac I really didnt get to watch much BE games and the 3 that I saw The BU@UConn was a real good game, BU shoulda won- Thats a 4-8 team from the XII- We try to watch BU games when we can and they had 3 real close ones, that they coulda won UConn, Texas Tech and Missu or they would be 7-5.
Always next year The BU Bears could compete in the BE, but they are in the XII south are real hard division

TC, thats why Brown is a good coach, he studied at the best and under the best, IMHO....LOL

Yep, this is looking like an easier decision with every passing minute...

2 tickets to THE game, or...

A 60" flat panel TV

Thanks for the reminder - I need to pick up a case of Shiner 'tween now and then.

Thanks Ron- I looked at the link you provided, does look kinda funny- How bout Brown at OU-cant even picture that one.
BTW Eyes of Texas is usually right before and after the game- the others like Texas Fight which is a sped up version of taps is played alot
The song has evolved and is more tacky and distasteful as ever- used to be givem-hell go horns go has been replaced with OU sux-its unofficial, but now these young kids probably think thats the real words
LOL- Texas A&M has the best band and songs IMO

LOL! I was one of those who wanted Stoops to replace Spurrier - instead we got the Zooker.

Last year OU was beat by a disheartened WVU team in the Fiesta Bowl. Florida pretty much has a home game inside their own state and Tebow is a better version of Pat White, who picked them apart last year. Tebow also has more weapons.

All signs point to Florida running away with it.

Zac — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:07:49 -0000

One way or another, Ron, win or lose, OK will show FL where its heart is. I honestly think this will be a great one! Can't wait!!!

Zac — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 20:04:03 -0000

Yeah, you're right BadgerBaller. The Big East should look more like...the Big Televen. That way, they'd have 1 more team w/10 wins, 1 more team w/9 wins, 1 less team w/7 wins, and TWO MORE TEAMS w/AT LEAST EIGHT LOSSES! Oh, wait; I forgot; the Big Televen doesn't have a play-off either. So, I guess maybe the Big East shouldn't emulate the Big Televen, should they.

You are right, in that, it wasn't a particularly good year for them. Though, I still maintain 11-2 Cinci has earned some respect this year. (Pitt, by the way, has a couple of NC's.) The Big East does need to expand. If ND would join the Big Televen (makes sense geographically), and if the conference would pick up IA St (also makes sense geographically), then the B.E. could pick up Penn St (again a geographic improvement) along with a few other schools w/potential. The Big 12 could easily get back to 12 by picking up Air Force, CO St, or TCU, among other possibilities. Just a thought.

AW come on TC, anything has got to be better than I've been working on the railroad....;-)

Zac — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 19:38:16 -0000

It's all good, TC. There weren't nearly enough games featuring WVU this year, that were anywhere near as good last year. Happens that way some times.

Re: Bowl Updates

Ramblin' Gator — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:43:18 -0000

I checked TicketsNow earlier today. Decent seats (belween the 20s, nosebleed level) were going for about $1K with service charge. Great seats (between the 40s, mezzanine level) were about $2400. Add in a night in a Miami hotel and 500 mile roundtrip. I'll have to ponder whether or not I want to part with that kind of cash.

You wouldn't consider offing a certain Sooner who lives in Austin who used to post on here, if you could use his ticket, would you?

j/k...

War_Eagle_Atlanta — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:27:01 -0000

No, they're not, Ron. There aren't any more travel agents. They've all been made obsolete by the internet, but thanks for reminding them of that just in time for Christmas...

Ya Ron I was trying to watch the show on Fox and that former coach that I hardly ever mention was on there grinning from ear to ear- I'm sure there are millions of other fans that felt the same way- No offense to OU or their fans but just the sight of that guy on the set- just burns up UT fans- myself included- he's smiling and grinning after losing the real champ game in Dallas.
What's done is done and with the current rules that exist the Sooners are going to the big one- As you well know I'll be pullin against them like I always have- every game-every season for my entire life.- LOL

Your a good sport, Kev.

FWIW...some of the students who comprised UF's first team in '06--transferred from WFS, when the leg'r reorganized the whole school system.

FSU is coming along stronger than the last 2 scores indicate--but I don't think they break the streak until Tebow leaves. Tebow to FSU is like Weinke to UF. We had to wait until Weinke was gone to break that cycle; likewise, I think FSU's gonna' have to wait for Tebow to graduate or go NFL.

GO GATORS!!
