It is a big Championship Weekend and as we get down to
choosing our winners and looser this year, let us remember that our picks are
always for fun and usually wrong.
We will start with the Big 12 Championship down in San
Antonio featuring #1 Missouri vs. Oklahoma.
Everyone has Oklahoma a lock for the win. Well as one
famous person says "Not so fast my friend"
Don't look for the Tigers to just roll over and play dead
as they look to avenge their only loss of the season earlier to the Sooners.
Chase Daniel will have the game that he needs to get the job done.
Our Pick
Missouri 27 - Oklahoma 20
Next Boston College vs. Virginia Tech for the ACC Title.
We all know what happened earlier this season when these
two teams played in monsoon. Virginia Tech controlled the game but lost in the
final minutes as Matt Ryan lead a BC comeback.
Don't look for that to happen again as Tech is on a roll
and will prevail.
VT 33 - BC 19
How about the SEC Title game featuring recently beaten LSU
and Tennessee. Funny at the beginning of the season Volunteer fans wanted head
coach Phillip Fulmer run out of town. Now he is up for SEC Coach of the Year.
LSU on the other hand is suffering from a major hangover
following their overtime (which we like) loss to Arkansas. To top off being
knocked out of the National Championship chase there also is all of the Les
Miles to Michigan (which we brought up first) talk.
Rocky Top is on top again.
Tennessee 29 - LSU 22
We don't have to much to say about Pittsburgh vs. W.
Virginia.
Pittsburgh is as bad as bad gets.
W. Virginia 53 - Pitt 12
Washington vs. Hawaii in a chance for the Warriors to make
the BCS. Look for the Warriors and Colt Brennan to have a big day and Brennan
for Heisman talk to get louder.
Hawaii 36 - Washington 17
UCLA vs. USC and the winner goes to the Rose Bowl. Remember
last UCLA knocked the mighty Trojans off and ruined their season. The Trojans
who earlier this season were being called one of the greatest teams ever will
not let that happen again this year.
Trojans 39 - Bruins 15
3 detained in Sean Taylor homicide.
The Miami Herald
Reports that Miami-Dade detectives have detained two teenagers and a man in his
20s in Lee County for questioning in the death of football star Sean Taylor.
