Not the way you think.

Miami will win the national championship this year.

Illinois is going to beat Ohio St. Texas will play Miami in the Fiesta Bowl and get beat bad. This will repay Oklahoma for the National Championship they would not have won 2 years ago, when Florida State played them in the championship game even though Miami had beaten them.

I'm going to have to argue this.

1) I really don't think UM will finnish the year Unbeaten. Yes they are good,perhaps a great team. They have too many young people who SLACK and they even know it. This will bite them in the ass.Up coming teams they play are tough.

2) Once UM loses 1 game, they are shit out of luck since its so late in the season and how teams get ranked after a lost. Not too much time to make up that losr ground.

3) Tons of games left, and I have many predections sp? from Miss Cleo. Miss Cleo was right about OK game, and VT. I shall also have to listen to her further since she also told me I'm BOUND to have a miss spelled word in my next post. A few upsets,a few good games, and games between top 10 bsc teams that one has to lose no matter what and drop out.

4) I will post it tomarrow!

If you assume that Ohio State loses a game, and neither OU nor Texas do, then OU will go to the fiesta bowl. By the time the bowls start lining up their BSC teams OU will have gone to the Big 12 championships (since their record will be the same as that of Texas, their win over UT gets them the Big 12 south spot in the championship game) and will have played either Kansas State or Colorado (probably KState). OU's schedule strenght will increase and Texas' won't.

OSU still has to beat Michigan and Miami still has two tough games in Pitt and VaTech. I don't see either of them losing though, but the pressure is sure on now with OU having lost to A&M.

Oh, and Washington State doesn't play this weekend and goes into a huge rivalry game with Washington (who sucks donkey balls) the following week. Though I think it will be a blowout, they ARE playing @ WashU and in college, especially this year, upsets happen often. But even if they win their last two games, their schedule strength will still go down and they will drop out of third place.

The way I see it though, miracles have to happen for Wash State, OU or Texas to stand a chance. Of those three teams, the one that stands the best chance at goin to Tempe this year is OU.

So yeah, if either OSU or Miami lose a game, OU goes to the Fiesta Bowl. Let's all join hands and pray for Miami to go down, shall we?

If Colorado wins just one more game, either against Iowa State or Nebraska, they represent the North in the Big 12 Championship. Supposing that OU wins out, they would get no Strength of Schedule increase from playing CU a second time.
