I wasn't going to say anything about how off my theoretical playoff senario turned out-WV in the national championship game, whaaaaaaat!?!?-But after reading Uncle Jim's snarky comment, I feel I need to defend myself a bit, make a few picks on games that will actually happen, and hope for the best. Here it goes:
Holiday: Arizona State V Texas- ASU's passing game scares the bejeezus out of me, but other than that, I don't know much about them. If Texas is to win, they're gonna have to control the ball and protect Colt from getting knocked around too much. No idea what will happen, but obviously, I'm going with the Horns.
Cotton: Missouri V Arkansas- If Mizzou decides to show up and play to their full capability, they win, no questions asked. If not, and if DMC, and Feeeeeelixx get going, it could make for a very interesting day. Mizzou gets the nod, but not a confident one.
Sugar: Georgia V Hawaii- I picked UGA in as my hypothetical Nat'l Champ, so I won't stray here, in fact i think the 'Dawgs win and it isn't close.
Fiesta: Oklahomo V West Va- Uggh what a crapper, no way I'm picking the sooners to win, cuz i'm never rooting for them, but then it makes the Big 12 look bad to for their champ to lose to a team who just got knocked out of the National Title game by a formerly 4-7 team. Oh well, I don't root for the Big 12, (as you'll see again later) I root for the Horns, son!! I'm going with WVa, even though it may turn out to haunt me like it did in my previous post.
Rose: USC V Illinois- Really? You want me to pick the winner? I think the real question is, when does Pete Carroll pull his starters, before or after halftime?
Orange: Kansas V VaTech- Who really knows how good Kansas is? Anyone? I sure don't. I'm going with VaTech even though I don't really know too much about either team.
BCS Championship: OSU V LSU- If Texas a'int in it, I'm pulling for LSU. Ever since our family took a trip to Louisiana when I was a kid, I've always been attracted to the environment and passion around the LSU program. Plus, Les Miles might actually be crazy, like clinically insane. How can you put a price on a possible nut-job winning a National Championship two steps away from Bourbon Street? You can't, plus OSU bores me...Geaux Tigers!!
*Oh, and Jim, as you can probably see, I don't really put much faith in the Big XII. Also, DMC is the best college running back since Hersh? Really? So that whole "Williams, Ricky" era there in Austin from 1995-1998 was just a figment of my imagination, huh? Oh, to be young again...

Kayla (and Lance)--I started reading this post (for the record, I hadn't read the previous posts), and I really thought Kayla was writing about sports. It kinda caught me off guard, but then I figured out it was Lance.
And, Kayla, I know what you mean about the buns of steel videos. They are intense, and sometimes it's hard not to laugh the entire time. Hope y'all are doing well!
With the earlier title to this post I thought you were insinuating that the BCS had its own island.
That, my friend, would be a frightening place.
Umm, yeah...i posted, re-read it, thought, "something doesn't look right," found a dictionary, repented for my transgressions and made a wrong a right.
