As the college football season enters crunch time, it's worth taking a look at the contenders and pretenders. Here is what a Sooner born fan thinks...
Best chance at the title game:
- LSU, Oklahoma or Ohio State. OU has 3 of the last 4 games at home. They have Texas A&M, Baylor, at Texas Tech and OSU left. They will likely face either MU or KU in San Antonio. Not a lot of strength on that schedule, besides an undefeated KU team that could be as high as BCS #5 if they run the table. (A big if). LSU has, at Alabama, Louisiana Tech (ugh), at Ole Miss and Arkansas at home. If they get by Alabama, the SEC title game could match them up with Florida, S. Carolina or Georgia. I say LSU runs the table and is in the BCS championship game at home in New Orleans. Ohio State has, at Penn State, Wisconsin, Illinois and at Michigan. Their defense is for real. They have no title game (which is lame). I still think Ohio State gets tripped up. PREDICTION: OU vs. LSU
- Others... Arizona State is undefeated. They won't survive, Cal, at Oregon, at UCLA and USC at home. Oregon has USC, Arizona St., at Arizona and at UCLA. Boston College is also unbeaten. They have not even played a top 25 team yet. They finally get a test at Virginia Tech Thursday night. They then play Florida St, at Maryland and at a 5-1 Clemson team. Does anybody really think BC is for real?
Sleeper: USC. It's just fun calling them a sleeper. After all, they are BCS #8 and still 6-1. (Thank you Stanford). They have, @ Oregon, Oregon State, @ Cal and @ Arizona St. They could roll their way back in the picture. (Say it ain't so).
Does this sound like a biased Sooner fan writing his team into the BCS championship? OK, you got me. Roll on Big Red!
