While I keep up with college football for enjoyment, I don’t have a favorite team and generally pull for the underdog in any game with two exceptions: Both Notre Dame and Florida could lose every game that remains before the return of Christ and it would suit me just fine. Beat’em every time, I say. Since Notre Dame will not be playing and since Florida is not in the hunt for the national championship my 2010 is already off to a rip-roaring start.
In that spirit, here are my predictions for the Big Five:
Rose Bowl (presented by Gov Citi): Oregon-38 Ohio State-14 (I like any team with 200+ uniform combinations.)
Allstate Sugar Bowl: Cincinnati-150 Florida-0 (A guy can dream.)
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: Boise State-44 TCU-40 (I’ll be happy for whoever wins this one.)
Fedex Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech-28 Iowa-21 (Staying with the home team.)
National Championship: Alabama-28 Texas-24 (This really hurts.)
Leave your predictions in the comments and feel free to pummel mine into the turf.
