The Bobcat Nation

Well tis the season for Bowl games and after having watched the very exciting Poinsetta Bowl last night, I was wondering who everyone is picking to win the other BCS games.

Fiesta Bowl-Notre Dame over Ohio State (it pains me to say that)
Sugar Bowl- Georgia over West Virginia (close game 3 pts)
Orange Bowl- Penn State over Florida State (Joe Pa rolls over Bobby Bowden)
Rose Bowl- USC all over Texas!

Best non BCS bowl games: Gator Bowl-Louisville and Va Tech and Cotton Bowl Texas Tech and Bama

I hope everyone has a great holiday and enjoys some good football games!

I'll give you some picks

Fiesta-Ohio St. 27, Notre Dame 21
Sugar-Georgia 20, West Virginia 14
Orange-Penn St. 34, Florida St. 17
Rose-USC 34, Texas 27

And a bonus pick...in the MPC Computers bowl, Boise St. 35, Boston College 13

Notre Dame - 35

Ohio State - 17

tOSU over ND by 10
WV over GA by less than 7
PSU over FSU by a TD

USC over Texass by 14

Texas is going to win by at least 7!

I think texas goes down by 3 touchdowns....

You would. Just like you thought the Griz would beat the Cats this year?

No, just like I thought USC would beat Oklahoma by 3 touchdowns last year...



What happened then? USC>>>TEXAS

I think a LOT of people picked USC last year. Including me. Thanks though.

And Texas > USC. Not >>>>>>>> than USC. Did you mean USC points to Texas?

No i meant that they are ">>>" that much greater than Texas and will prove it on Jan. 4th! It is sad that you have to go so far as to make fun of how many of > I use...

by 36??? didnt think so

Take your bias mind somewhere else

My bias? You said you picked USC. So did I. So did a lot of people. And you are sad, if you take the ">>>" comment offensively. Take it as a joke, like it was, and stop your whining. There's a place for that over on Egriz.

Im talking about this years NC game where your bias comes into play. And why do you always smack on Egriz?? It is a ten times better board then this one....(I still love this board)

I know what game you are talking about. What bias?

Bowls I fell like picking.

Fiesta: Ohio State by three touchdowns over St. Mary's School for the Deaf and Blind

Orange: Penn State by a field goal over Florida Suck

Rose: SC over Tex@$$, won't punt until the fourth quarter.

Liberty: Fresno State big over Tulsa

Holiday: UO big over OU

I've got to take USC over Texas, Notre Dame, Georgia and FSU (even though I'd like to see this one end in a tie).

What stands out is the glaring difference in athletes and programs the closer we get to the BCS games. Still, gotta love the wannabe conferences moxie for even showing up--no matter how much I hate how much they steal from the 1-AA and DII schools and force us into a "real Playoff"

Well, so far I'm O for One, and looking like I will be O for two before the night is over if Georgia doesn't pull their heads out of their arses. West Virginia is looking like a team that will be a force. Hopefully Joe Pa and SC will have their game faces on!!!

Not bad Lifeloyal. OSU over ND by 14, WVU over UGA by 3. However, I hope you go 3 for 4, with the wrong pick being SC over UT.

Thanks. I believe that tOSU, the way they were playing at the end of the year, could very well have beaten Texas if they had played later in the season.

UGA's youth at QB was my reasoning for thinking they'd lose but they will be in the top 10 for some time at this point.

FSU's up on JoePa and company right now so I could miss the mark on that guess. We'll see how the 2nd half plays out.

I still stand by my USC over Texass prediction. USC's offense is amazing on TV but you should see them in person. I've had the opportunity to see them play several times over the past 2 years and it's quite a sight. They have way too many weapons. Their defense isn't as solid this year as it was last year, so Texass will find paydirt on more than one occasion tomorrow. I think USC's D will be strong enough to keep Texas at bay a few times. It could very well be a high scoring game.

You spoke a bit too soon, JoePa utilizing time outs perfectly as they go into half time with a lead.

It is amazing watching USC play in person as opposed to TV. I was able to go down to Provo and see them play BYU last season(not a great game, but definately worth seeing Reggie Bush). No matter the angle that people seem to have on Bush, he simply outruns them and if for some reason they do actually have the angle, one move and he's still gone! I'm hopeful he will stick around for another year....maybe for the Raiders to have one more diaster of a season and be able to pick him up!
