All the games have been played and we now await the BCS standings and Bowl game announcements. The coaches poll came out earlier today and Oklahoma was number 1 by a single point over Florida as Texas was 73 points behind Florida. USC and Alabama were tied at 4th place to round out the top 5. Since that was also the last coaches vote of the season, we get to see who and how they voted. There are some really odd votes from some of the coaches. Oklahoma was no lower than 4th and that was on one ballot, Rick Neuheisel, Florida was no lower than 3rd on any ballot, and Texas was 5th on 4 ballots (Art Briles, Mark Dantonio, Mike Leach, and Greg Schiano). Here is the link to how all of the coaches voted on this final poll.
As of 6 o'clock central the Harris poll has yet to be released giving the indication that Florida is ahead of Texas and they are not releasing it so people will actually watch Fox's BCS show.
The BCS standings should be released around 7pm (central) but before that I will give my predctions:
Rose Bowl
USC vs Penn St. - This is pretty much a given since the Rose Bowl is always Big 10 vs Pac-10. This should be a really interesting match up since both teams are very good defensively and not all that offensively.
Orange Bowl
Cincinnati vs Virginia Tech - This is probably going to be the least watched BCS bowl this season.
Fiesta Bowl
Utah vs. Ohio St. - Some are saying it could be Texas vs Ohio St. but I think the Fiesta Bowl will opt for Utah. This will be a pretty decent game and since Ohio St. isn't playing an SEC team, they should win.
Sugar Bowl
Alabama vs. Texas - Since Utah will go to the Fiesta in my opinion, the Sugar Bowl will match up two historic powers of College Football. Texas should be fired up but I could see them being disappointed and possibly a let down, Alabama will keep it close but Texas prevails.
National Championship
Oklahoma vs. Florida - To toot my own horn here, I predicted this match up back in the preseason and for a while there it didn't look like it would happen. Both of these teams are great offensively and this game should be a classic shootout. Last team with the ball wins, which means the Sooners get the victory.
So here is the place to Q it up while watching the BCS Selection Show and to make fun of ESPN's Bowl Selection Special.
