We are just a few moments away from the announcement of all of the BCS bowls. Here are my predictions for the bowls:
Rose Bowl
USC vs Penn St. - This is pretty much a given since the Rose Bowl is always Big 10 vs Pac-10. This should be a really interesting match up since both teams are very good defensively and not all that offensively.
Orange Bowl
Cincinnati vs Virginia Tech - This is probably going to be the least watched BCS bowl this season.
Fiesta Bowl
Utah vs. Ohio St. - Some are saying it could be Texas vs Ohio St. but I think the Fiesta Bowl will opt for Utah. This will be a pretty decent game and since Ohio St. isn't playing an SEC team, they should win.
Sugar Bowl
Alabama vs. Texas - Since Utah will go to the Fiesta in my opinion, the Sugar Bowl will match up two historic powers of College Football. Texas should be fired up but I could see them being disappointed and possibly a let down, Alabama will keep it close but Texas prevails.
National Championship
Oklahoma vs. Florida - To toot my own horn here, I predicted this match up back in the preseason and for a while there it didn't look like it would happen. Both of these teams are great offensively and this game should be a classic shootout. Last team with the ball wins, which means the Sooners get the victory.
So here is the place to chat it up while watching Fox or ESPN.

My other school I went to
Colorado State, accepted an invitation to the New Mexico Bowl against Fresno St. Should be a good match up, and glad to see the Rams turn it around.
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
It would mean something
If OU had a chance to not go and he knew something.

The Rose is
USC and Penn St
WhAA????/….I’m Shocked! Shocked!
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
I think Texas is going to wind up playing tOSU in the Fiesta And Bama Gets Utah
Other than that I am with you
I miss going to the Orange Bowl
and throwing oranges onto the field during the season. I see the Orange Bowl, and I think, that’s our bowl.
I’m old

Have you had a chance to yell...

I only remember the Orange Bowl as number 7 and the USC debacle. But I have read about the great Orange Bowls of the past.

Back in the 80's
with Switzer and FSU ahh great memories. Fact: a Bobby Bowden team has never beaten a Sooner team.
Miami bound...
I was trying to remember the game
during the season when OU threw Oranges on the field and it was so cold, the Oranges froze solid. It was during the 80s when I was in school
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
We did that in 04
when Callahan and Nebraska was there. We hit a few Nebraska players and got a penalty on the Sooners.

I was just looking at the final coaches poll
Is it any surprise that Todd Dodge and Gene Chizik voted Texas #1.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
-Bruce Lee
You were expecting something else?
Neither Stoops had a vote and the Sooners still came out ahead.
Miami bound...
Yeah but Leach
1. OU
2. Texas Tech
5. Texas

No, you're right
I wouldn’t have expected anything else. But even Mack didn’t vote Texas #1.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
-Bruce Lee
Yeah, I know.
Leach is a nut. He should have gave all 3 of us a tie vote. Doubt he could do that, but it would have been classic.
"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

And also ward off the wave of Longhorns
who finally have it set in…again.

Want to take bets
On the Horns renting a plane with a banner on it flying around Miami Jan. 8th?

Well, my life is going to be interesting
I’m the vice-president of the OU Alumni Club in Denver. We meet for watch parties at the same bar that the Florida Alumni club meets. And they have the largest Alumni club outside the state of Florida, with 400 people at the bar yesterday.
so…Jackson’s Sports Grill next to Coors Field is going to be NUTS
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
Thanks
now starts the series of meetings to get this party done, safely. There will be TV coverage, and we already expect to have near 1000 people between the 2 alumni groups.
Florida will have about 500-600, and OU around 300. The bar doesn’t hold that many
Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
Sweet
We get to wear the Crimson

Did you hear that.
Bob Stoops said it so it must be true. Texas Tech beat Texas.

Stoops is all knowing.

I really think this trip to the BCS
will be different for the Sooners this year.
With the controversy over the Big 12, I think there is now way that they will take this lightly. If there ever was a reason to be motivated to get it done. Just to prove that we belonged in the game, it must be won.
This is going to be the longest month of my life.

Coach Stoops, Wilson and Venables want this one in a very good way.
I am sure they have prepared the previous teams well, but this group of players get it.
A long month to wait and hear crap from all that aren’t OU fans.
