Oh Yeah...My Predictions

Okay, so it's a new era of Buckeye football, and I will discuss that in great detail once the season is over.

There are games tonight/tomorrow? Okay, okay! I'll tell you who's going to win...

Pac 12 Championship Game: UCLA (6-6) vs Oregon (10-2)
- Other than the fact that it is a complete mismatch, the game is being played in Eugene. I'm going to go out on a very long, thing branch here and say that Oregon comes away with the Pac 12 title and plays in the Rose Bowl for the second time in three years, and three straight BCS appearances overall.

SEC Championship Game: Georgia (10-2) vs LSU (12-00
- Does this game even matter? LSU is going to play for the national title regardless, and if Georgia wins, Alabama will still go to the national title as well. This is a very odd circumstance. I'll go with the Tigers to beat Georgia by at least 10.

ACC Championship Game: Clemson (9-3) vs Virginia Tech (11-1)
- If this game were played after week five of the season, it'd be the most hyped match up of any of the conference title games. Unfortunately, the rest of the season happened and while VT got significantly better, Clemson lost a lot of steam. Hokies should roll in this one despite a spirited offensive effort from Tahj Boyd and the gang.

BIG Championship Game: Michigan State (10-2) vs Wisconsin (10-2)
- MSU needed a Hail Mary touchdown to win at home, at night in East Lansing. Wisconsin should have things wrapped up by the fourth quarter on a neutral field. Payback is a killer. I'll go with the Badgers to play Oregon in the Rose Bowl - which will be a great game.

The other de-facto championship games...

UConn (5-6) @ Cincinnati (8-3)
- Let me get this straight here: if Cincinnati wins, it will create a three-way tie in the Big East, meaning that West Virginia would likely go to a BCS game. If UConn upsets the Bearcats, then Louisville will get the automatic bid. Who will be crowned champ? I'll make it easier on the folks watching the BCS games in January and pick Cincy to win, providing someone a chance to see West Virginia play instead of L'Ville.

Oklahoma (9-2) @ Oklahoma State (10-1)
- BEDLAM!! I think that Oklahoma will likely win this game, simply because I haven't like the Cowboy's defense all season long. QB Landry Jones will have a big day, and it will send Oklahoma off to a BCS game after winning yet another Big 12 title.
