Looks like we've got a good slate of games for the opening round of next week's playoff. If Hawaii wins tonight, it's looking like the seedings will be:
#1 Ohio State (Big Ten winner) vs #8 Hawaii (At Large)
#2 Georgia (At Large) vs #7 West Virginia (Big East Champ)
#3 LSU (SEC champ) vs #6 USC (Pac 10 champ)
#4 Virginia Tech (ACC champ) vs #5 Oklahoma (Big XII champ)
What game are you looking forward to most? Will Hawaii be able to keep up their magical season versus a rested OSU team? I think Pat White's injury could knock WVa out early to a hot Georgia team. LSU vs USC in the first round? Most people thought that those two would be playing for the title back in September. Va Tech and Oklahoma are both playing well, but I'll take Oklahoma in that game. As long as their starting QB is out there OU will be a tough team to beat.
My first round prediction:
Ohio State over Hawaii
Georgia over West Virginia
LSU over USC
Oklahoma over Virginia Tech
---
My second round prediction:
#1 Ohio State over #5 Oklahoma
#3 LSU over #2 Georgia
I think Ohio State can beat a team like OU. They don't play the style that crushes OSU (spread offense a la Illinois). LSU vs Georgia will be an amazing game to watch. But I think that LSU will prove that they are (still) the best team in the SEC.
Championship game prediction:
LSU over Ohio State 27-17
I'd love for Ohio State to pull the upset, but they'll be 7-point underdogs to a very talented LSU team and I think LSU will be able to wear down OSU and pull out an undisputed national championship.
Looking forward to next weekend's games! They kickoff at noon with #4 Virginia Tech vs #5 Oklahoma and end with a primetime matchup of #1 Ohio State versus #8 Hawaii. Lots of exciting matchups and I can't wait until they crown a true national champion in January.
