Random collegiate thoughts

I threw this together...

The last one:

$.10--Since so many people ask me, my off-the-cuff predictions for the rest of the year:
- South Florida loses at least one game, perhaps to Rutgers this week
- Virginia Tech beats Boston College and wins out in the ACC
- Oklahoma wins out in the Big 12 South but loses the rematch with Missouri (who will beat Kansas) in the Big 12 title game
- Arizona State loses 3 of their next 4, while Oregon runs the table and wins the Pac-10
- Kentucky loses this week to Florida and also one other game
- LSU wins out but drops the SEC title game to the South Carolina/Tennessee winner
- Ohio State will be undefeated headed into the finale against Michigan, which will also be undefeated in the Big 10, and the Wolverines pull it off
- Hawaii will not lose, but it will not matter
- National championship game: Virginia Tech and Oregon, with Ohio State and LSU as the at-large BCS Bowl teams

What do you think USC will end up doing? By your account they may suffer a three-loss season. Also, do you really think Tennessee will amount to much of anything?

[Icness]

I think USC fails to cover against the Irish this weekend and will lose to Oregon, perhaps to Cal too.

I thought Tennessee had as much talent and key personnel at key spots to win the SEC East and make a BCS Bowl preseason. So I think they can win out, the SEC title game included. Hard to put any confidence in anything around Phillip Fullmer though--it wouldn't shock me if they lost 3 more games either

Gotcha. I haven't seen any of USC since their loss to Stanford but I'm licking my chops. Here's another question for you: is the Cardinal a bowl team?

[Da Schwab]

I'm not sure how to feel after reading your prediction for the title game. I'd love to see that game, but I truly think Oregon would spank the Hokies.

IMO, Oregon is the best all-around team in the country.... even better than Ohio State.

BTW, I was thinking the same thing about Boise State when I was watching their game on Sunday night.

[El Turco]

neither v-tech nor oregon will be in the title game IMO.

[Da Schwab]

Says the Ohio State fan.

neither v-tech nor oregon will be in the title game IMO.

I agree that it will be tough for the Ducks to run the table and get to the title game, but we do have USC and ASU at home and the Civil War is at home as well, so I do like how our schedule is laid out, now we just have to get past these injuries and take care of business, IF we win out we're in the title game no doubt.


Just out of curiosity who do think would be in the title game?

I kind of agree with your Michigan-OSU prediction. I've been thinking about that possibility for the past couple of weeks.
