Who will play in the BCS Championship game?
A Texas-Ohio rematch?
It could happen and the odds arn't bad...
-Texas would have to win out... after watching yesterday, there isn't a team that is even remotely threatening remaining on the schedule.
-the loser of the OH ST/Mich game will likely drop below Texas. it's the nature of the beast losing late in the season and NO WAY do they do a rematch one month later.
-USC needs to lose. they have land mines all over their schedule. AZ ST, Oregon, Cal, Notre Dame, UCLA. i think they drop one.
-Texas needs Florida to lose. i think they will. @Auburn, Georgia, FSU, and the SEC title game. they've weathered the storm so far, but i think they have a loss coming.
-West Virginia to lose to Louisville or have everyone just decide to give them the middle finger. In the second scenerio I would look for pollsters and coaches to start dropping votes on West Virginia. An OH ST/Michigan vs. West Virginia has absolutely no flavor or appeal whatsoever. West Virginia plays in the Big East and basically has a one-game season. that can't be rewarded or it's the blueprint to the NC. play nobody and watch others lose. nobody wants that.
If the game did occur, they had a QB starting his second game ever, starting CB out, starting LB out, starting saftey out after the 2nd series.
Do you think it would be a better game?

Well, if the rematch did occur it would be out at the "New Horseshoe West" so Texas won't have the big homefield crowd. We showed we match up well against their personnel and I think we'd win again.

After Sat, I don't think Florida will lose during the regular season (Georgia embarrased at home, Auburn exposed, etc.)
Florida- OSU in the NC game would be a helluva matchup...

Anything could happen...the good thing about the Ohio State/Michigan game being so early, is that a lot of teams play tough games after that...and if they lose after, they likely would drop below the loser of The Game. Tennessee still has a shot i'd say, along with Texas as 1 loss teams. I think the winner of the Louisville/West Virginia game will be undefeated...but how will the BCS feel about them? It will be interesting to see what happens with the first BCS rankings come out, I think next week. Personally if I were to have to bet on a national championship game, i'd pick Ohio State vs. USC.

Florida will lose a game, count on it. I bet Auburn beats them this week. |

I still think USC loses as well.
My money is on West Virginia at this point. |
