    Re: The Rest of the BCS

    Here's a decent write-up of the slate:

    Rose Bowl: Illinois vs. USC
    It's USC, it's the Rose Bowl. It's Pete Carroll vs. Ron Zook. You know what's coming. Unless the Trojans come in overconfident, which shouldn't be a problem after the way the season has gone, this could be an awful matchup from the first drive. Illinois has to come out and smack the Trojans in the mouth and generate consistent pressure on John David Booty. This will be a hard-hitting game with the Trojans pulling away in the second half.
    Sugar Bowl: Hawaii vs. Georgia
    On Jan. 2, 2006, Georgia was an overwhelming favorite to win what was essentially a home game at the Sugar Bowl, played in Atlanta due to repairs to the Louisiana Superdome after Hurricane Katrina, over West Virginia. Overconfident, the Dawgs got their doors blown off in the first half and had to mount a furious rally in the second, only to fall short. Mark Richt isn't going to let his team make the same mistake again. Hawaii will represent itself and the WAC well, but the Georgia running game will control the tempo enough to come away with the win. (Discuss here!)
    Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma vs. West Virginia
    If all 119 teams play up to their capabilities, only LSU can beat Oklahoma. The Sooners are going to come out breathing fire after having to hear about last year's Fiesta Bowl for the last year. West Virginia doesn't have the deep passing game to exploit OU's one potential defensive issue. If the Sooner defensive front plays the way it did against Missouri in the Big 12 title game, this might not be pretty.
    Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. Kansas
    Kansas is playing with house money, while all the pressure will be on Virginia Tech. The Hokies are better, but Frank Beamer hasn't been great in bowl games. With the time to prepare, Mark Mangino will have his team playing at the same high level it was at throughout the season as it pulls off the upset.
    BCS Championship: Ohio State vs. LSU
    Ohio State will be a far tighter, far better team than the one that showed up in Glendale 364 days earlier, but it won't matter. The time off to heal will bring out the LSU that was so breathtaking to start out the year, and while Ohio State might bring its A-game, it won't be enough.

      I was watching the News in Utah last night and one of the News Casters did a funny breakdown on why UH should be crowned National Champions already (point system or BCS criteria aside). I got a good chuckle. See the video on the right side of the page "Dan Sheldon crowns the TRUE National Champion."

      So long...and thanks for all the fish!
