Bowl Predictions (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/ncaa/specials/preview/2006/08/16/guide.part2/index.html)

Very realistic. Only team standing in the Buckeyes' way is Texas. Buckeyes have Penn St & Mich @ the Shoe.


BCS Games:
=========
ROSE USC vs. Michigan <------ Hmm, I'd have to say SC.
FIESTA Texas vs. Cal <---- :lol C'mon, seriously, you know who wins.
ORANGE Auburn vs. Florida State <----Auburn wins.
SUGAR LSU vs. West Virginia <---- LSU wins.
BCS Ohio State vs. Notre Dame <---- I'd have to say OSU wins.

Of course I made the hypothetical picks barring any inj/suspension/dismissal, etc...

I think Michigan will come through, they really need a bowl win to improve in the recruiting war. Texas would beat Cal. I also agree with Auburn winning, but I think WV could beat LSU. And the last one I dont like either team but I will say OSU beats ND.

I find it hard to believe two Pac-10 teams will make a BCS bowl this year.

...Cal is going to be very good this year. i think they are top 10 in most preseason polls. the reason why? they have a bunch of returning talent and probably the fastest offense in the nation with a serviceable defense.

CHICK-FIL-A Dec. 30 Atlanta Clemson vs. Arkansas

Hmmm

Do they beat scu?

Do they beat scu?

not if ayoob (or maybe longshore) hasn't improved greatly. if the sc decimated defense kept their offense in check last year (the td was in the last few minutes), this year's defense would really get to them. not to mention the game is at the coliseum.

Do they beat scu?

...no, but that does not mean they are not top 10.
