Alabama playing Florida Dominates the End of the 2009 College Football Season
The season winds down as some conferences host playoffs, a few rival matches take place and the 2009 season winds down.
All roads to the National Championship show Texas is in versus the winner of Florida against Alabama. The next big part of the excitement is how high seeded will Cincinnati, if they beat Pittsburgh and TCU be as teams who aren’t from the elite conferences but have played exceptionally well this year.
Oregon State #16 versus Oregon #8 (-9 ½)
Though these PAC-10 teams are both top 25 teams, Oregon is the heavy favorite and should win.
Cincinnati #5 (1 ½) at Pittsburgh #9
Cincinnati is the hot team this year playing a team that has much experience as a winner in the Big East. We’ll pick Cincinnati believing they are a special team in 2009.
New Mexico State at Boise State #6 (-47)
We put this here just to see if Boise State really does win by such a wide margin. We have pastoral romantic visions of blue grass but blue artificial turf means one thing – Boise State.
Arizona at USC #20 (-7)
Shut out of all the big honors USC has been part of for so many years, they are but mortals now holding on to their berth in the top 25. They should win to finish on a high note on go to some bowl far less significant than the ones they would normally have earned.
Florida #1 (-5) versus Alabama #2 at the Georgia Dome
Is this not the real National Championship before the real game? It’s number one against number two. The Tim Tebow legacy is on display versus a lesser known Crimson Tide that has fought hard for their spot. This writer is a closet ‘Bama fan and will pick them to win on the assumption that Florida must slip some time.
Texas #3 (-14) at Nebraska
Here’s a game that indicates the strange affairs for the Big 12. Their southern division is packed with competitive national powerhouse teams while their north, is far less accomplished though Nebraska brings back memories of their great history. Think of how loaded the Big 12 south was last year. This year is not as red hot, but Texas is a team with National Champion dreams. They’ll make popcorn out of the Cornhuskers for sure.
Georgia Tech #7 (-1) versus Clemson #18 at Tampa
This is the battle for the ACC, a conference that has not gotten respect having no powerhouse team this year. Georgia Tech has looked brilliant at times and should beat Clemson, but they can cough up some embarrassing losses as well. They need a strong performance to look worthy of the big bowl that lies ahead.
