How in the world is a guy with a Bengals avatar not rooting for UC to get into the national championship? Outside of the Bengals and Reds, nothing else from Ohio has any rooting interest for me. Loathe Ohio State and the Browns as well. Well the Browns are understandable since we are the Bengals in state rivals as well as in the same division, and OSU has never been a popular Kentucky team. UC however is just as close to you as the Bengals, and the Reds, and I know quite a few Kentucky citizens who root for both UK and UC.

I always had you pegged as a smart man MGH, this only furthers it. ;D Thank you sir. I don't hate the Bearcats or anything though. I just want a team like Boise or TCU to make the title game at least one. Utah deserved it a year ago. I DO want to see either TCU, Cincy, or Boise get their hands on Florida.

If Texas wins there's a good chance Cincy will be playing the Gators.

Granted there are Bowl games still to be played and we have no clue what might end up happening between now and April. But who do you guys think will be the first QB to be taken? I think if Bradford hadn't gotten injured he would've gone first, but that injury will give him question marks now. I'd say it's probably Jake Locker at this point, even though Tony Pike is probably my favorite prospect on the QB front. Just not as clear this year as it would be in others.

It's a pro Boise/TCU thing. Had both of them dropped already, I'd be riding the Bearcats hard. I want someone new in the title game. They just aren't a team I follow closely and support hard. I do think they have a GREAT team this year. Pike and Calloros are both phenomenal in their offense.

I could still see a team take a flier on Bradford and chance it with his shaky shoulder. If not, I agree, Locker is the man.

It's not Husker love. It's BCS hate. BIG difference. Yea, after last year, Texas fans arent exactly too high on the BCS either But what about Texas Tech fans? Last year was the ultimate example of why there should be a playoff. You had 3 teams with 1 loss, and their losses came to each other. There was no way you could choose a team to go out of those 3 and not have controversy. Oklahoma went and the Longhorns and their fans were pissed, because they beat Oklahoma. The Longhorns go, and Texas Tech and their fans would have been pissed, because they beat Texas. Texas Tech goes, and Oklahoma and the fans are pissed because they obliterated Texas Tech. Go Nebraska, and then go TCU. I want to see TCU win the National Title, just to see what chaos would ensue from it. And because it would mean that the small conferences would have to be taken seriously.

Locker and Clausen I see going top 5, Bradford's a question mark because of his shoulder. I'm hoping Bradford falls to the Niners.

Nebraska wins and defers. McCoy and Shipley get it first. Here we go! Looking for a Kansas St./Oklahoma situation.

And in my opinion he hasn't done as much as Pike has with similar weapons. That said I'd agree with that order and I see Pike being a late 1st/early 2nd pick at the earliest. Come on Cornhuskers.

I think he's short. You can't pull draw plays against a defense like this on 4th down. Give it to a big ass FB and get out of the way.
