  <body>The Bowl Games are my favorite part of the College Football year, and brings every individual thoughts forward, from Heisman to the disrespect to the BCS. 

*College Football Bowl Picks*

+Allstate Sugar Bowl:+
_#6 Utah Utes vs. #4 Alabama Crimson Tide_

Utah is a great team this year, going a wonderful 12-0, but I say the Utes will not be able to hold the 'Bama Crimson Tide. The Utes have not really played *any* reasonable teams. Although the Crimson Tide embarrassed Crimson Tide showed that they are not really the good #1 that we thought they were, losing to the Florida Gators, 31-20. Sorry Utah fans, but the Utah Utes are not good enough to beat the Crimson Tide, even though the Tide lost to Florida. 

*Pick: &quot;Roll Tide Roll&quot;- Crimson Tide 28-14.* 

+Orange Bowl:+ 
_#19 VT vs. #12 Cincinnati_

VT beat BC last week, and Tyrod Taylor made VT look really good. Cincinnati is heading to their first bowl in school, and look pretty good. I have to say that VT has this one though. Congratulations Virginia Tech. 

*Pick: VT- 35-31.* 

+Rose Bowl+
_#8 Penn State vs. #5 USC_

Penn State did not have to play last week, or the week before after killing Michigan State. Other than their loss to Iowa, Penn State has generally had a great year. Joe Pa has showed what he can do, and just about everyone has done something. Now, the lose to Iowa could be because of just one reason. Iowa had the heaters in that game. Could that have turned the game for Penn State? I think so. Anyway, USC (as usual) has done well, also. But that loss to Oregon State earlier in the year made them look bad. But, USC beat UCLA, and claimed their spot in the Rose Bowl. This is a great game, that everyone needs to see.

*Pick: USC, in this close one, 14-13.*

+Tostitos Fiesta Bowl+
_#10 Ohio State vs. #3 Texas_

Texas isn't exactly happy about the results in the Big 12 South, Oklahoma winning because the computer said so. I even though loving the Texas Tech Red Raiders, I believe that Texas should be in the National Championship, because of the fact that Texas beat OU earlier in the season 45-35. Texas Should be in the National Championship, not OU. Ohio State got a great true freshmen QB, and used Prior pretty well. Ohio State is pretty good but not good enough to beat #3 Texas. 

*Pick: Texas, 42-20.*

+National Championship Game+
_#2 Florida vs. #1 Oklahoma_

This will be the best game so far this year. Unbelievable, this outcome will be. I am counting down the days to this game. 2 of the top Heisman candidates, Sam Bradford, and Tim Tebow, both the amazing QB's. This game will feature the Oklahoma Sooners (&quot;Boomer Sooner&quot;) vs. the Florida Gators. OU has had 6 consecutive 60 plus games, and amazes me. Chris Brown, the OU running back with 3 touchdowns last week with the win over Missouri. Tim Tebow led his Gators to a SEC Championship defeat over the previously #1 Alabama Crimson Tide. Florida has shown they can win without star Percy Harvin, and beat #1 teams. *Amazing game.

Pick: Oklahoma, 63-56.*  

*Heisman Thoughts:*

Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow are my top competitors, as well as everyone else, each have put up amazing numbers this year. 

+Sam Bradford+ 

Sam Bradford has lead OU to the highest-scoring offense in FBS history, which amazes me. Sam Bradford is only a sophomore, remember that, and  slices up defenses like some beast. This guy has it all the arm and the intellect. This kid is the heismen guy. 

+Colt McCoy+

It might have been the Texas Tech game that lost McCoy the heismen, although he is a great QB, who can rush and throw. He has won a school-record 31 games as a starter, more than even Vince Young, and he has another year left in Texas. He has led nine second-half comebacks to victory and came within a dropped interception of a 10th against guess who... Texas Tech. McCoy is great but doesn't win the Heismen Saturday on ESPN, 8 p.m. 

+Tim Tebow+ 

Tebow is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, he became the first sophomore to win the award last year, and is in my opinion the best player in College Football. This kid lead his team to a win. Tebow can win with his arm and legs. He is fifth in the nation in passer rating (176.7) with 28 touchdown passes and only two interceptions, and he has rushed for 564 yards and 12 touchdowns. This kid wins the Heisman winner in my opinion.  

*Heismen Winner Is.........* 

TIM TEBOW!!

*My BCS Playoff - 12 Teams*

I think that the College Football BCS Playoffs should be like this. The top four teams (Oklahoma, Florida, Texas and Alabama) receive a first-round bye. I decided to then take the remaining top six conference &amp; the other six teams resulting from the BCS's final rankings. So this should be what it would be like. 

*#5 USC* vs. #6 Utah 
*#12 VT* vs. #11 Cincinnati   
*#8 Penn State* vs. #9 Boise State
*#7 Texas Tech* vs. #10 Ohio State

Teams in *bold* won (in my playoff scenario). 

Advancing Matchups:

*#5 USC* vs. #4 Alabama
#8 Penn State vs. *Florida #2*
#12 VT vs. *#1 Oklahoma* 
*#7 Texas Tech* vs. #3 Texas 

2nd Advancing Matchups:

#5 USC vs. *#2 Florida*
*#1 Oklahoma* vs. #7 Texas Tech

Final:

*#1 Oklahoma* vs. #2 Florida  

Well there you have it. All College Football. Watch all the good bowl games, and the Heismen Saturday, ESPN, 8 p.m ET. </body>
