    It was 80 to -7

    When Ohio State gets crushed by the Miami beast just don't say another word. When this team is motivated (and it will be, being its the national championship and McGahee-Dorsey finished 3-4 in the Heisman ballot), they are unbeatable.

    I guess it has been awhile since Iowa played. Everyone here has Heisman Trophy bling-bling stars in their eyes.

    Iowa 31

    USC 24

    I also like FSU against UGA. Give Mark Richt one month to prepare, and that will screw up UGA. Richt has been horrible in bowl games, since his days at FSU.

    Moreover, people are GREATLY exaggerating what impact losing Rix will have. FSU rarely used Rix as a passer, until 3rd and long. The dropoff between him and the 3rd string (Fabian Walker) isn't that great. The problem would be if Walker gets hurt, and FSU has to rely on whoever the 4th string is.

    I don't doubt you on Rix, but Georgia is playing as well as anyone in the country right now. 12-1 and on a freaking roll...

    I will be HIGHLY surprised to see them lose that game. Hell, I would be more surprised to see Georgia lose to FSU than Miami to Ohio State.

    Chance, you left out Texas Tech, and I have that game circled in Austin next year. Payback is in order.

    DV, I don't get it. You know Tech played already, right?

    To clarify, I picked Tech on my original list of bowl picks. However, I posted my response after the Tech game, so it would have been cheating to list Tech as one of my picks. Along with the Tech win, I picked the other 7 Big12 teams, making the B12 8-0 if all my picks come true.

    Cat-
    The reason you did not bet is because you ran your mouth and got called out on it. You had no idea what the line would have been at the time, matter of fact you did not even know who Ohio State was even playing (Miami, Oklahoma were both in the running at the time, of course OK needed Miami to lose)

    So justify all you want, bottom line is you ran your mouth and guaranteed a way to win, so I called you on it and you backed down. End of story.

    Go Bucks!

    Trev,
    I didn't think you would have much to say. You really whiffed on this one. I knew you were mistaken by that prediction.
    "Crushed" LOL ! Dorsey got crushed.
