CFN’s ‘Way Too Early Bowl Predictions’ for 2009-2010
They do it every year around this time. The guys over at collegefootballnews.com come up with their ridiculous ‘Way Too Early Bowl Predictions’. This year is no different. Sure, it’s fun to think about the season ahead of time and try to come up with who you think will win it all and how the season will shake out. But…..
Truth is, no one ever knows. Do you remember the unbelievably wacky 2007 season, when LSU made it to the National Championship game on the last night of the season? Oh and by the way, I’m pretty sure these guys just give USC the automatic bid to the championship game every year and then just insert the hottest team from the year prior. This time around, it’s last year’s champs, Florida. More after the jump……
What does that say about USC?…… They’re good every year? Maybe. They’re a big fish in a crappy conference/pond? Yes. Personally, I think USC might struggle a bit this year. They’ve got Ohio State, Cal, Notre Dame (I know, big deal, right?), Oregon, and Arizona St. all on the road. They’ll have a brand new quarterback, and they just lost an entire NFL team to the NFL. It won’t be just a walk in the park for the Trojans.

Thoughts on the Bowl Games so far

I’ve got a little down time, so I thought I’d give my thoughts on some of the bowl games that have already been played. I’ve been pleased with the games that I actually care about this year and really wish (though I know it will never happen) that they could eliminate about 10 bowl games. If you go .500, you dont deserve to play in a bowl game. I know that was nearly LSU this year, but hell, at 7-5 I’m not sure we deseved to go to a bowl game. Half the teams in D1 go to a bowl game. That’s total bullshit. The top 40 teams should go to 20 bowl games. We dont need bowl games in Boise, El Paso, Toronto, or Shreveport for that matter. The Houston Bowl….really? It’s on the freakin NFL network for Christ’s sake. And I wont even get started on the dumb ass names of some of these bowls. Anyway, hope you enjoy my random tidbits and I cant wait for Florida/Oklahoma.
Meineke Bowl – I couldnt help but think while watching this game that North Carolina isnt far off from being a pretty good football team. Sure, they ended up losing to West Virginia. But we’re talking about Butch Davis here. He’s a damn good coach and his recruiting class is currently in the top 10. I’ve got a feeling they’re about 2 years off from being a top 10-15 type team.
