Championship Saturday

Picks and Thoughts

Alabama v. Florida (-10) For the last 6 weeks or so I have kept going back and forth between Florida and Oklahoma as who is the best team in the country. Last week Florida's convincing victory over Florida State has once agained put me in the Florida sideline. That being said, Alabama is extremely good defensively and has a solid offense. They are the #1 team in the nation. I'm glad both teams had a game last week because both these coaches are too good to get the unfair advantage of having an extra week to prepare. It's scary how good Saban has got Alabama in such a short period of time and they'll win a National Championship sooner rather than later, but not this year. Florida is just too good even without Harvin. I'm taking the Gators.

USC @ UCLA (+32) The only question in this game is will UCLA be able to get a first down. USC will win this easy, but not score enough points to cover. Only thing I'm going to get out of this one is a hard one thinking about Maualuga in a Changers uniform. Plus, we'll get to see the clip of the best hit ever hopefully over and over again. Poor Pat Cowan. I'm taking the points and UCLA.

Missouri v. Oklahoma (-17) Oklahoma is the second best team in the nation, but should not be in this game. I've never been a huge proponent of a playoff in college football because the season usually takes care itself. Yes it'd be fun to watch, but I'm not sure that's a good enough reason to have a playoffs. I like the fact that if you don't show everyweek you potentially won't get to play for the National Championship game. Unless we have three undefeated teams I don't really want to hear you bitch about the BCS. Texas though should be complaining. They beat Oklahoma. I think Oklahoma would roll them if they played again, but Texas deserves to be in the game. That being said, I'm rooting for fat Chase tonight and taking Mizzou with the points.

Other Action today
Cal -35.5 over Washington- Sarkisian can't get to Washington soon enough.

Arizona -11 over Arizona St.- Willie T. too much for a bad road ASU team.

West Virginia -7 over South Florida- West Viriginia enjoy this because your program is going to drop fast.

Cincinatti -7.5 over Hawaii- Flights not enought to stop Cincy from rolling.

NCAAB

Michigan +10 over Duke- This will be an ugly win for Duke.

Miami,FL +3 over Kentucky- McClinton too much for the Wildcats

Baylor +3.5 over Washington State- This should be a great game that deserves more attention, Ijust like the fact Baylor's played in multiple tough games this year.
