BCS Guru

My colleague decided to make predictions for the NFL, so I say why not do one for college?

This is the last year of the BCS, which means that many of you are rejoicing. The BCS has had alot of problems but it still made College Football exciting and sparked some debate. If the 4 team playoff started this year, Alabama's loss to Auburn would not be that big of a deal. Alabama would be one of the top 4 teams and still had a chance to win a 3rd straight National Championship.

But we do not have a playoff yet. So here are my projections for the BCS matchups:

Rose Bowl: Arizona St vs. Michigan St.

Arizona State will beat Stanford to get to the Rose Bowl. Michigan St. will get to the Rose Bowl even after a loss to Ohio State in the Big 10 Championship game because that is what the Rose Bowl does.

Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. UCF

OK State beats Oklahoma to win the Big 12 and UCF wins the AAC.

Sugar Bowl: Auburn vs. Northern Illinois.

Auburn beats Missouri to win the SEC while Northern Illinois gets to go to a BCS bowl game and get beat down for the second year in a row.

Orange Bowl: Alabama vs. Oregon

The National Championship game that everybody wanted to see during most of the season. Here is the matchup but not the venue everybody wanted.

BCS National Championship: Ohio State vs. Florida State

Whether you like it or not, here is your national championship. The SEC will not have a champion (does not mean that they are not the best conference in football though). Should be a great game.

Until next time,
