So, who does Boise want to face?

I'm not sure anyone cares. At this point, I'd like to see them face the highest-ranked opponent possible. So Oklahoma would be the one. Too bad Texas had to go and lose yesterday.

Man, I'm sold on USC going to the national championship game (assuming they beat UCLA). They looked damned good.

I would even rather see Louisville than Fichigan (Muck Fichigan!) in the game. The Big Least is a shadow of its former self and is no longer even close to on par with the big five conferences (Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Pac-10), although I do think Louisville is very good and has been vastly underrated the last four years.

I'm not sure how any rational analysis says the ACC and Big 12 are even close to as good as the Big East this year; almost half the conference should finish higher-ranked than their best teams.

My Orange are still awful (sigh), and all three top teams lost games they shouldn't have (UofL to Rutgers, WVU to USF, and RU to Cinci), but the Big East as a conference is stronger than it ever has been. I think there was maybe one year in the old Big East that SU, VT, and Miami were all good at the same time, and there was nothing behind them. Now, Pitt, USF, and even Cinci (every team they lost to was ranked #11 or higher at the time they played) are quite solid, and neither SU nor UConn approach old-school Temple/Rutgers levels of suckiness.

C'mon, people! The season's almost over. Where's the chatter!

Edit: Oh, and woohoo! Boise State hits #8 in the BCS!

I'm just waiting for Ohio State to get another Heisman and National Championship!!

Actually, the USC OSU could be one scarey game. Both teams at their best just look invinciable. The speed of each team is amazing. And Both have a pretty good defense, so that could turn the game into a low scoreing one or it could be 60-57.

Given that Michigan also has a great defense, I'm leaning toward another high-scoring game. Should be fun to watch.

So am I. Both can pass the ball on anyone, so that will drive the teams down the field fast. Defenses will have to get to the QB's to force faster passes and make them try the running game. Both teams seem to have quite a bit in common. I give OSU the advantage just because Troy Smith has been in many big games. And his ability to move around could be key.

But the wide recievers in this game on both sides might be the best group College Football has ever seen in one game.

Ohio is going to win tonight!!

 

[Nightfall]

God I hope not.

*has given up on the Eers since they lost to Southern Florida...*

So, you want Central Michigan to win?
