My BCS Predictions for 2009

By Marquis LaBachia

So, most of us get excited about the substantial games we play outside the conference, and others look forward to those huge conference games. But then there's the few that think about January. I'll admit, I do it all the time.

Mainly since I cheer for a team who hasn't won a bowl game since 2006, whereas up until that, they had been victorious in five consecutively. But I still stand devotedly adjacent to them, and the Big 10 Conference.

So what may happen in the non-BCS championship games? I have no clue, I'll work that out sometime this week or next. But with respect to the BCS Bowl Games, here's what I trust is going to ensue, and how it might be prevented from taking place.

ROSE BOWL presented by Citi Financial (Pasadena, CA) Ohio St. Buckeyes vs (at) Southern California Trojans This match may undoubtedly be prevented. I predict USC to be defeated one game during the season, as they usually do.

If they get past the Buckeyes on September 12, then they'll be okay. But look out for the Cal Bears. I still expect S.C. will win the Pac-10, lately becoming known as the "Pac-1." The Buckeyes play the men of troy at home in September, where they'd much rather be than Pasadena, mere miles from the Los Angeles Coliseum. But look out for that November 7 matchup, in Pleased Valley.

Needless to say, the last time the Bucks traveled there, they blew out the Lions 37-17. But they need a win, chiefly if they go down to USC in September. If they might defeat the Trojans in September, and the Lions in November, they may be headed for the National Title. And the same goes for USC.

Tostitos FIESTA BOWL Oklahoma Sooners vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish One occurrence could put a stop to this contest, 10/17/09. That marks the day of the Red River Rivalry between Oklahoma and Texas.

The victor of that, which I definitely expect to be Texas, should essentially coast to the National Championship. Still.. keep an eye out for the Oklahoma St. Cowboys. Notre Dame's revisit to triumph should start hitting giant strides this season.

They have a very skilled franchise, and a number 13 preseason ranking. Assuming they lose to USC, but thrash their 84 other competitors (haha), they should find a nice place in the BCS at season's end.

BCS National Title Game presented by Citibank (Pasadena, California) the Florida Gators vs the Longhorns The University of Florida. Almost every person chooses them to reach Pasadena on January 7th, led by one of the best players of our generation, Tim Tebow. They have several obstacles during the year.. but everybody is anticipating their October ten matchup, at LSU. That and the Florida-Georgia matchup on Halloween are the leading obstacles for the Gators, in addition to whomever they play against in the SEC Championship.
