BCS Bowl Projections: July 1st
Is it already time for a early look at the 2009 BCS Bowl picture? Of course not. With less than two months before college football season kicks off it’s time to get started looking ahead. In my power rankings I stated that about five teams could argue they should be ranked #1 to begin this season.
USC has a tough game in week two against Ohio State but if the Trojans are able to survive then they will be in the driver’s seat for a trip to the national title game (assuming they take care of the Pac 10). That might seem tougher than people think, most of the losses for USC during the last five seasons have been to conference foes. The Florida-Georgia winner also will probably be in good shape, depending on how well they play the rest of their SEC schedule. Both also have their non conference battles, Florida takes on Miami and Georgia takes on Ohio State. The Big 12 winner will also be in the mix, and maybe even the conference champion in a weak ACC (like Clemson).
Non BCS teams will be trying to crash the BCS party. BYU, Utah, and Fresno State are the favorites to do so before the season although a new team will probably jump into the mix somewhere along the way.
Last season the BCS Championship game wasn’t decided until the final games of the regular season, when both #1 Missouri and #2 West Virginia lost. This year will probably be just as fun to watch. If everything works out the way I think below then five of these teams will be playing during the last weekend of the regular season (OU, Mizz, Fla, USC, Clem).

July 1st, 2008 at 10:48 pmThe idea of the Gators going to the BCS bowl again is thrilling but what makes it even sweeter is getting there by beating Georgia and robbing them of their chance.

I think someone might be showing a bit of favoritism to the Gators
They will be contenders for sure though.
July 2nd, 2008 at 11:50 amFlorida’s schedule sets up great for a national title run. 9 of their 12 games are in state (including two in state road games against Georgia & Florida State). The farthest they travel all season is Arkansas. They don’t play Auburn this year, the team that has handed them two of their last four losses.
