2009 College Football Preview

By Anthony Lagano

So, nearly all of us await the huge games we play beyond the conference, and others await to those huge conference games. But then there's the minority that think about January. I'll admit, I do it regularly.

Especially since I root for a team who hasn't won a bowl game since 2006, whereas up until that, they had been victorious in five in a row. But I still stand devotedly next to them, and the Big 10 Conference.

So what may happen in the non-BCS bowls? I have no indication, I'll sort that out sometime this week or next. But as far as the BCS Bowl Games, here's what I trust is going to materialize, and how it could be hindered from happening.

ROSE BOWL sponsored by Citi Financial (Pasadena, CA) OSU Buckeyes vs (at) Southern California Trojans This game might simply be averted. I forecast USC to suffer defeat one game at some point in the year, as they usually do.

If they get past the Buckeyes on September 12, then they'll be okay. But look out for the Cal Bears. I still expect S.C. will victory the Pac-10, lately becoming known as the "Pac-1." The Buckeyes play the men of troy at home in September, where they'd much rather be than Pasadena, mere miles from the Los Angeles Coliseum. But look out for that November 7 matchup, in Happy Valley.

Needless to say, the last time the Bucks traveled there, they blew out the Lions 37-17. But they need a win, notably if they be beaten to USC in September. If they can loss the Trojans in September, and the Lions in November, they could be headed for the National Title. And the same goes for USC.

Tostitos FIESTA BOWL Oklahoma Sooners vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish One factor can prevent this contest, October 17. That represents the day of the Red River Rivalry between the Sooners and Texas.

The victor of that, which I definitely expect to be Texas, should basically easily make it to to the National Title. In spite of this.. watch out for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Notre Dame's return to glory should begin hitting large strides this year.

They have a tremendously skilled franchise, and a number thirteen preseason ranking. Assuming they suffer defeat to USC, but beat their 84 other enemies (haha), they should obtain a nice place in the BCS at season's end.

BCS National Title Game presented by Citi financial (Pasadena, California) U of F vs the Horns The University of Florida. Almost every person picks them to make it to Pasadena on January 7th, led by one of the greatest athletes of our era, Tim Tebow. They have several obstacles during the year.. but everyone is anticipating their October ten showdown, at LSU. That and the Florida-Georgia event on Halloween are the major tribulations for the Gators, as well as whoever they challenge in the SEC Championship. - 16887
