But you know Ohio State will just choke again when they come to face an SEC team in a big game again.   

[Plazus]

Ummm, there is only  one game that they choked on, against UF.

[Hoarach]

Even though Ohio State is 0-8 or 0-9 vs the SEC on bowl games right?

LSU still beat Ohio State by more than 2 TDs in their BCS game.

I thought that you where talking about the BSC games that they choke on, and only one game that they did against UF.  OSU should have never got in the National championship in 2007 but thanks to the worthless BSC system, they where put in there.  I believe most people knew that LSU will win, even OSU fans knew that.

You mean Oklahoma will choke in the National Championship.   

OU's record of bowl game futility can't continue forever.

Also, look for Stoop's little brother to make some noise in the Pac-10.

Go Sooners!!

Go Wildcats!!

I said big games.  I just put that stat out for bowl games. 

Everyone knows the SEC is the premier conference.  Ohio State may get lucky since their defense will be very good this year.  That defensive line will be formidable with Heyward at DE.  I personally like them to be in the championship game this year but we all know how screwed up the BCS is.  I feel they can roll through their schedule being not that bad except for games against Wisconsin and Penn St this year both which will be very difficult opponents.  Penn St will be a very good team with the defense more experienced and the offense still having Royster.  Their QB still questionable though.  Wisconsin has a very good OL in front of Clay and I see him being a top rusher this year if its true as they say that his fumbling problem is done.  Their defense is weak though.

I hope the hell Alabama falters this year.  I dont like Saban and I dont like 'Bama.  Got to stand behind the Gators, hoping Brantley proves to be everything that he has been hyped up to be.  Going to be interesting just how the young team does with many new starters on both sides of the ball.

[camnite]

now i'm a bama fan, but i just don't think that alabama will win out this year. It's not that they aren't good or anything, it's the six teams that have an off week before they play them, all hard teams. i think they'll have a 10-2 season though.

[oakranger]

So who is the team that expected to play In the national championship

[Hoarach]

In all honesty Im seeing Ohio State and if the BCS is actually nice to them this year, Boise State.  Boise State should be given the chance especially if they yet another undefeated season.  Much of their team is back this year.

If Boise isnt given that chance I think it would be Alabama.  Too many players are returning on both sides of the ball.

I see Oregon being the top team in the Pac-10 since you cant count USC.  Ohio State in the Big Ten with Penn St being the runner up.  Pitt will win the Big East.  Texas will most likely win the Big 12.  Miami will win the ACC.  It will be Florida vs Alabama in the SEC championship again with Alabama winning as I think the Gators are too young this year.

  Boise State? Nah, Boise State has another fluff schedule. They get past Va Tech, and Oregon State then they can walk to another conference championship. If they whine enough they might get a BCS bid. Oregon lost their QB to Ole Miss.
 Iowa hosts Penn State this year, and they beat PSU in State college last year. Iowa's senior class has beat PSU 3 times(?) maybe 4? Ohio State also plays in Iowa City this year. In Columbus last year, the OSU/Iowa game went into overtime, Iowa lost. Iowa played with a true freshman QB on his first start. Ohio State/ Miami meet on Sept 11 in Columbus. Big ten will probably end up w/OSU on top, Iowa second, Wisconsin third. Iowa returned 10 Offense and 10 Defense starting players. Which was 3rd most in the B10. So Big 10 should do alright post season. SEC will be a dogfight with Alabama coming out with the fewest scars.

Oregon never lost there QB he got thrown off the team for breaking the law, Jeremiah Masoli was charged for his role in stealing a pair of laptop computers and a guitar from a fraternity house. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of misdemeanor second-degree burglary and Oregon coach Chip Kelly suspended him for the 2010 season. He still practiced with the team during spring drills and was expected to redshirt, he could of came back 2011 season untill he got busted for Herb, then Coach Kelly had no choice but to throw him off the Squad, Ducks are still strong at QB

[jimson]

I'm a little biased, but I'm picking a dark horse for the Pac Ten.

Arizona is returning 10 offensive starters, including Nick Foles who threw for almost 2500 yards and 19 TD's and showed remarkable poise as a freshman.

If the defense can fill some holes and if they can overcome that embarrassing Holiday Bowl shut out to Nebraska, they have a real shot at the Rose bowl.

They are certainly hungry enough.
