I see USC losing two games and maybe three. They have to play At OSU, At Oregon, At Cal, and At Notre Dame. I think 2/4 of these will be losses.

The most obvious pick for the championship right now it Texas-Florid, but I don't see it happening. The problem with Florida is that they have all these big name players returning, but their offensive line play is really weak and they don't have much depth at certain positions. They are bound to get decimated by injuries at lose at least one game, which could be enough to keep them out of the BCSC.

^^You make some decent points.

I'd like to add a recent tread in college football of a "senior year slump." It seems that the senior laden teams returning for one more year of glory have met with some letdowns in recent years. Michigan 2007 and Ohio State 2008 come to mind. I think complacency and overconfidence sets in. Plus, teams have 3 years of film on you to study and exploit your tendencies.

That being said, Florida is the best team in the country and my pick for the NC game. Forget about Tebow, the Gator defense is ferocious and the SEC East will be slightly down this year. Georgia and Tennessee are both looking for answers on offense.

i wouldn't mind going to the rose bowl but i want the NCG. if we beat usc there is a very good chance we go undefeated. i doubt we would get the nod to end up in the NCG. i see texas and florida in the championship game. if that happens we will rematch usc in the rose bowl.
