True, but your Big 10 love will fail you once again, this time it will just take two more weeks!

It's funny, I can't stand the Big Ten, I just think it's SO bad that Ohio State can certainly run the table. After seeing USC today (although the ACC is pitiful), I would like to have a re do. Since my column was in the paper two weeks ago, I have to stick with it, at least until SC crushes Ohio State in two weeks.

Wrong! If USC wins it will not be by a big score. In fact I'm picking Ohio st to win the game. This is a much better Ohio ST team. They have as much if not more talent than USC. Don't let the pass foul you. I hope you guys saw Alabama beat the crap out of Clemson. The tide is rolling again.

Not sure which one of them to pick, but I predict a 2-loss SEC team will run circles around Ohio St, who will finish with 1 loss (to USC), in what is sure to be another snoozer of a championship game. And despite that, the arrogant proponents of the BCS will still claim the system works. As for the other contenders...

SEC - One of LSU, Auburn, Florida, and Georgia will go to the championship game, the other three will have to duke it out for the Sugar Bowl bid. The two who don't make it will scream about the terrible system we have like the rest of us.

Pac 10 - USC will lose one, maybe two games they shouldn't. That will be just enough to knock them out of contention, but many will claim when all is said and done that they were arguably the best team in the country. Oregon looked strong last night, but I doubt they have what to takes to reach the top. Haven't seen Arizona St yet, but not sure if their OL can keep Carpenter upright enough to get it done.

Big 12 - The 2nd best conference in college football this year will have a similar problem as the SEC. The contenders will beat each other up, and having a conference championship game will knock someone out of the title game (see Missouri, 2007). In the end, Oklahoma will win the conference and Missouri should pick up a BCS at-large invite.

Big East - As in recent years, WV will lose a game they have no business losing and like USC will be part of the "what if" conversation. I don't see any other potential contenders in this conference.

ACC - :laughlol:

All of USC's tough games are at home, so I highly doubt they lose two PAC-10 games, and if they only lose one, they logically should get in over Ohio State is they had indeed beat them. Don't expect good logic from the BCS though.

That's what makes predictions fun. :D

But if you look at USC's recent history, they have been known to stumble inexplicably. The losses at UCLA and Oregon St in '06, Stanford at home last year. It happens. If I had to pick "trap games" for the Trojans, the first would be 9/25 at Oregon St (right after Ohio St and right before Oregon and ASU). And for some reason I have a hunch they better not sleepwalk through the game at Arizona either. And if UCLA can get their QB situation worked out, that game could be very interesting too.

Bowl season will be Deja Vu all over again...

West Virginia over Oklahoma in the National Championship game...

The key to the season will be the matchup with Auburn (props to the Tigers - one of the few teams willing to step up and agree to a home and home with WVU) and December 6th when South Florida visits Morgantown... Both of those teams will be in the top ten for that matchup.

My bold prediction for this year is that Ohio State rolls through a weak Big Ten but that voters (wisely) decide not to let them screw up another BCS title game.

:D:mwahaha::D:2yay-thumb::D

      Creed Willems 2024

      Mullets are awesome.  If you are lucky enough to be born looking almost exactly like Kenny Powers, you have an obligation to uphold it.

      Austin Hays 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Right now Hays is in McKenna's role but will probably get a little more PAs once summer gets here and players start to wear down a bit.  His only way out is for him to start hitting and either Santander or Cowser to go into a long funk themselves. There is no doubt Cowser is an everyday guy now in the Orioles mind.

      What is up with Mac Horvath?

      By RZNJ · Posted

      Yeah, not worried.   Learning two new positions, some early season bad weather.   It does look like he bulked up over the winter.  I almost wonder if he over did it.

      Not to mention both Miller and O'Day could be counted on to get more than 3 outs if you needed it. I'm not sure you could top that bullpen even if you were able to hand-pick any three relievers in the game today. I'll never forget how fun that was to watch.

      Moises Chace 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      My report after last year without the statcast data that BA seems to have eyes on now. the two walks so far is what has impressed me. If he can keep that up while missing bats that's big for him. The stuff was legit at times. 53. Moises Chace – RHP (A): The 6-1 right-hander started to put things together a bit late in the summer before getting shut down for an injury. The 20-year old’s fastball sits 92-93 and touches 94-95. His best pitch is a solid average change up that works really well against lefties who slashed just 1.82/.310/.347/.657 off him. Throws a slider and curveball though both pitches are very inconsistent and have to improve. Command overall is still a big problem as his fastball tends to run up and away too often.

      There have been a TON that are strikes but right on the edge and he's been given basically no leeway on them from umps. Not saying he should get leeway, just that over the course of a season, a lot of those are probably called balls.  It's really been a perfect storm of some bad luck, some tough umps, really tough pitching with high-level stuff and command, and then some normal rookie chasing at times. He's late on a lot of things which to me means he's in between trying to figure out if he should be selective or let it rip.
