Introducing our early BCS Bowl Picks and Predictions for the 2008-2009 Season.
Rose Bowl
Fresno State vs. West Virginia
Winner = Fresno State
Season Prediction: With nothing to lose, the Bulldogs return valuable starters and have a shot at going undefeated this season. The Mountaineers will have to adjust to life without Slaten, so don't expect the same blowouts by the Mountaineers as you have witnessed in years past. But, Pat White and the same defense will make another bowl splash and most likely lose 1-2 game this season.
Rose Bowl Prediction: Fresno will win in a high scoring game (60+ points). The margin of victory will be close, but the Dogs will pull the upset with a spectacular finish.
Fedex Orange Bowl
Clemson Tigers vs. Texas Longhorns
Season Prediction: This is the year for the orange. The Tigers finally have all the pieces for a BCS berth and will use this opportunity to build on last year's successes. The Longhorns will not disappoint under Mack Brown and look for Colt McCoy to have a breakout season at QB.
Orange Bowl Prediction: The Longhorns will go up early, but the Tigers will turn this into a defensive struggle in the second half. Don't expect high scores and this will favor a Clemson win and cover as the Tigers put the Horns away by 4-7 points.
Allstate Sugar Bowl
LSU vs. Oklahoma
Season Prediction: The Tigers will still be the team to beat in college football despite losing Ryan P. LSU will still have a tough grind it out defense and they are bigger than any team in college football. The Sooners will have a breakout year on the arm of Sam Bradford in a no huddle attack.
Sugar Bowl Prediction: This will be a very physical and high scoring game, but the Sooners will have more left in the second half as Sam Bradford leads his team comfortably over the Tigers down the stretch.
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Mzzou Tigers
Season Prediction: The Tigers have the offensive and defensive balance to make another huge BCS splash. Maclin and Chase Daniel are a force to reckon with and will once again look to go undefeated. The Bucks will be there again, count on it. They return an all-star cast and all-star coaching in a weak Big 10 conference. No reason why they can't go without losing more than 1 game this season or undefeated.
Fiesta Bowl Prediction: The Tigers will come to play, but the Buckeyes will come to win. Look for Ohio State to finally win a BCS Bowl as they close out the Tigers by 10 or more down the stretch.
Fedex National Championship Game
USC vs. Georgia
Season Prediction: Georgia will have their way this season led by QB Matt Stafford as they roll through their tough SEC conference. They could lose 2 games and still get in with their SOS this year. The Trojans will no competition as they win their conference easily. Their true test will be Ohio State early in the season.
Fedex National Championship Game Prediction: Look for this one to be close and very competitive, especially on offense. The Bulldogs will try to turn this into a field position game, but the Trojans will continue to use their spread attack through the air. USC will be very physical defensively as their defense will once again go unnoticed during the 2008-2009 College Football Season. But, the Bulldogs will prevail in the end generating key turnovers late in the game. Stafford will lead his team to victory, but not by more than a TD.
