I hope Wisconsin rolls Arkansas like I bet they will, let PSU beat Tennessee and I hope that Quinn leads ND past LSU...</div> Thanks for proving CUBuffs right I doubt USC loses a "home game". Carroll will out coach Carr. Vols will beat Penn St. Wisconsin has the best chance to win but won't. As for that last game, can say Slaughter on the Bayou? 3 words for ya; Keep hope alive!</div> Your speculating no more than him. Wisconsin matches up very good against Arkansas. Considering Arkansas is on a 2 game losing streak and Wisconsin is on a roll. The Badgers also can stop the run and run the ball. 2 things that will give Arkansas trouble. I don't think Arkansas can beat them through the air at all. I also think Wisconsin is better coached. USC vs. Michigan is the best chance for one of the elite Big Ten teams to lose. Will be a good game. I really think it could go either way. Tennessee should beat Penn State. If they don't though then SEC fans have some explaning to do. Though I wouldn't be worried. Penn State has struggled a lot this year. Ohio State is either going to win by 10+ or Florida in a close one in my opinion.</div> Raw doesn't start until 10 p.m. local & I need to do something to kill time. Wisconsin should win. They are better coached. The wildcat formation is a lame gimmick. Casey Dick is no more a college QB than Scott Frost was. It would not surprise if Tennessee lost. Fulmer is an idiot IMO. Their resurgence is due to Cutcliffe coming back to be OC & their sticking w/ Ainge @ QB.
I don't see Penn St. beating Tennessee at all. I think it's going to be Ainge to Meachem early and often. I expect a great game from both of them. Penn St. has been one of the most disappointing teams this season. Great LBs, but nothing else. Well I guess Jay Alford is a pretty good DT too. He's actually their best pass rusher probably. Never thought they would miss Alan Zemaitis and Calvin Lowry so much. USC/Michigan is a great matchup. I think Michigan will beat them though. This is Leon Hall's chance to rebound from a bad game against Ohio St. Also, Sam Baker vs. LaMarr Woodley! Now that's a battle worth watching in the trenches!! Also on the other side, Jake Long vs. Lawrence Jackson! This really is a wonderful matchup. Arkansas/Wisconsin is another great matchup and I really like both teams. Who is starting at QB for Wisconsin? I'll assume it's Stocco which is fine, but I think Donovan is a better playmaker. McFadden will get loose on Wisconsin some, but not nearly as much as intended. Wisconsin should win this because of Arkansas' issues at QB. I say let Mustain in since Dick has been so bad. Fun fact on Casey Dick...his little brother Nathan plays at Allen High School here in Texas, also where Casey is from. Nathan has Allen cruising through the playoffs and barely threw his first INT of the season last weekend and he plays in a pass first spread offense. He's insanely good! Strangely he's given a verbal to Rice. Be interesting to see if he sticks with the Owls after his great year. Ohio St./Florida will be closer than Murtyle would like to admit. I think Ohio St. wins it late, but Florida plays close games. That's their identity. I don't think they get blown away at all. BTW, the 10 point win by Auburn you anti-Florida guys keep bringing up. Did you watch the game? It was a lot close than 10 points. Auburn got a cheap TD on a fumble with no time left on the clock. It would've been a 4 point loss. So stop using the losses of Michigan and Florida as a judgment if you're going to leave out that fact.
Look my point is this... There is no way to tell whether the SEC is the juggernaught that everyone says they are... Personally, I don't see how the SEC is that much better than the Big 10... That is my opinion and we will see if they are or not in the bowl games... I live in Tennessee and I see a lot of the Vols... They aren't that good... They have Meachem and Ainge that is about it... Penn St. can win that game and it is the one that I am most looking foward to actually... I really believe that OSU is going to beat Florida by 2 TD's, they can't run the ball... I believe that Arkansas will be severely restricted in their offensive attack vs Wisconsin just as they had problems against Florida and Wisconsin is a very physical team which they have struggled with this year... Michigan will handle USC but it will be a tough game... Why can't we use Florida's loss vs our loss? All I have heard is the Ball St. game... I did watch that game and every time I see that play it is a fumble(unless Leak was throwing the ball to his feet)... I have said it was a fumble back when I was a Florida fan when it originally happened... The bottom line is they found a way to lose just as I guess they found a way to block 3 FGs and win against S. Carolina... And yes Michigan found a way to lose against OSU as well (Crable's hit on Smith which would have had Michigan winning the game after their last TD, thats how close that game was AT OSU...) I have every right to complain about this system, just as a BSU fan does and as all fans of CFB does... It is severely flawed at the expense of everyone except for the money grubbing people at the top of this abortion we call the BCS... I'm glad that your happy that your going to a BCS bowl but I am not and I am not sure why you would be cause you are getting screwed too... Unless you are conceding the fact that you don't belong in a championship... I happen to think (whether it be biased or not) that if Michigan and OSU met on a neutral field Michigan would win... I don't believe that would be a stretch to think so... My question that I pose to all of you is this: If Michigan were to play Florida in a game for the right to reach the NC, Who do you honestly believe would win?
I think Florida and Michgian would have a tough knock down drag out fight myself, It alll depends on Chris leak though, if he plays like his usualy solid poised self, the Gators could win it, if he played like he did against Arkansas then they lose badly.
