BCS Title Game Predictions

It is that time of year where everyone comes out and gives their title game predictions. The standard pick this year is Florida vs. Texas in Pasadena. The last time the sexy picks actually meet for the shitty crystal football was USC/Texas. You remember, ESPN running the non-stop claims of Reggie Bush being as good as Gale Sayers (he isn't) and USC being the greatest team ever (they weren't). I know 1 person picked Texas 41-31. I don't mean to brag but that person was me.

As I come across more predictions I will list them up. Of course, we could all look like assholes if Florida ends up in the Outback bowl and Texas in the Alamo bowl but we all know that isn't happening.

"We aren't stepping out there" picks:

Spencer Tillman UF/OU
Tim Brando UF/OU
Tony Barnhart UF/TEX
CLM UF/TEX
Bruce Feldman UF/TEX
Mark Schlabach UF/TEX
NBC.com UF/TEX
Colin Cowherd: TEX/UF
Rece Davis: TEX/UF
Chris Fowler: UF/OU
Ivan Maisel: TEX/USC
Todd McShay: TEX/UF
Joe Schad: UF/TEX

"Our picks suck but we are old and senile" picks:

Lou Holtz UF/Notre Dame
Beano Cook UF/Notre Dame (Penn St. still can't teach the Big1011 how to play football)

"I'm insane and I'm still pissed at ABC" picks:

Gary Danielson UF/LSU

Now Gary didn't think Michgan should have got another shot at Ohio St. in 2006. He was right. So now that he is over on the SEC network, he thinks UF will lose to LSU in the title game and should get another shot at LSU in a NT game (in which that game would be their 3rd meeting).

The man has lost his damn mind. He also went on to state that only teams that have a conference championship game should be considered for the BCS national title. So let me get this right. Since the SEC decided to do a money grab and throw up a conference title game, everyone else should have to? This doesn't make any sense. If you want to look at the correct model, take a look at the Pac-10. Each team plays all the others and you throw up 4 non-conf games. Real tidy.

Gary, do us all a favor and stop talking. The guy is quickly becoming the Joe Morgan of college football. Thankfully, Gary can't point to the hall of fame since he spent his time getting his ass kicked in the NFL.
