Game Day...

We have conference championship games, and rivalry games today...
ACC, Big 12, Big East, and the always exciting SEC

Florida St - Virgina Tech...the ACC championship promises to be a big one with the Seminoles taking advantage of a NC State lose last week, and taking care of business against Florida.  The Hokies started the season with two loses, but has come firing back under Beamer ball.  Look for both Quarterbacks to stretch the field and the running game to be a big difference maker.  Winner goes on to play in the Orange Bowl.
Florida St 28 - V Tech 24

Oklahoma - Nebraska...a big game and an old rivalry renewed.  One of my games of the day between two teams that were expected to play in this championship game at seasons beginning.  Oklahoma took down a very good Oklahoma St team which proves there defense can hold big players like Kendall Hunter and Justin Blackmon.  Nebraska has shown it struggles through the season but has put together a good finish to their last season in the Big 12.  If Taylor Martinez and Coach Bo Pelini are not on the same page expect the Sooners and Demarco Murray to run away with this game.
Oklahoma 35 - Nebraska 24

 Connecticut - South Florida...The Big East has had its own struggles threw the year, but the best offenses take the field today in this championship game.  UCONN comes in with a four game win streak on the line after struggling in the opening weeks of the season.  Jordan Todman looks like a man against usual Big East Defenses but the Bulls bring a defense in ranked the top 25 in the nation.  UCONN controls its own destiny, however, putting the pressure on them.
UCONN 24 - USF 17

Auburn - South Carolina...Gene Chizik was booed when he came into Auburn, but now is being praised for taking the Tigers to an undefeated season and a chance to play for a national title.  Cam Newton is the front runner to win the Heisman this year, and with a big game over South Carolina it will only solidify his campaign.      Steve Spurrier, however, had the Tigers number in September, but due to a late turn over could not complete the win.  Stephen Garcia needs to be flawless, and Marcus Lattimore needs more touches.  Its a super game in the Super Dome.
Auburn 27 - South Carolina 24

Oregon - Oregon St...In recent years the Civil War has meant more to these teams then in the past.  This year the Beavers can be the "Giant Killers" that has been embroidered on the inside of their jerseys in memory of the 1960 team.  The Ducks come into Corvallis with their video game offense.  The question is can the Beaver's defense hold the Duck's offense?  Beavers have been known to upset many teams, but I don't see it here.  The Ducks should win big and go to play in their first national championship game.
Oregon 45 - Oregon st. 17

USC - UCLA...Fight on Trojans!!! (Sorry Bruin fans you guys took down my Longhorns this year...but than again, who hasn't?)

BTW...Butler up on Duke 9-5...in a rematch from last years NCAA basketball championship.
