5 more predicitions for the upcoming football season

So after I chimed in with my thoughts for the first blog, Tad naturally had to add his:

5 more predictions for the upcoming college football season

1. Florida’s Tim Tebow will not run amok over the SEC – I’m not downplaying how vital Tebow was for the Gators last season; he was absolutely a key piece of the puzzle in Florida’s national championship. But now, with a year of film on him, SEC teams will go back to watch the tapes and discover that Tebow is, indeed, white. And white people are not fast. Once defenders realize that, they will stop him with ease.
2. USC will NOT win the national title – I’ve about had it with people handing the Trojans the championship like it’s a warm piece of pie or something. It’s not. It’s a trophy. Southern Cal plays in the Pac-10 that features arguably the nation’s best competition. And I don’t just mean the best competition right now, I mean ever. Meanwhile, you’ve got teams like LSU and Michigan that play in joke conferences. It’s not fair.
3. Miami-FIU Brawl II will be even better – There’s still a lot of bad blood between these two teams. By now, we all know what happened: FIU threw Miami’s kicker down like he was a feather, Miami’s Brandon Meriweather stomped opposing players and Anthony Reddick swung his helmet like Andy Roddick swings a tennis racket. So when these teams meet again on Sept. 15, the historic rivalry will continue. Right now, Miami leads in the all-time series 1-0 after a 37-0 victory, but this time, I’m guessing FIU stabs the ‘Canes with their cleats. That means ANYTHING can happen.
4. This year’s Boise State? The Boise State Broncos – Unlike Dan, I’ve got this feeling in the pit of my stomach that Boise State will not change its name to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. In all honesty, it would be a weird decision after there is already a team with that name. But here’s a bold prediction: not a single cheerleader will marry a Bronco this year.
5. The ACC will make you cry in its BCS game – Widely known as one of the best conferences, the ACC has a ridiculous record of 1-8 in BCS bowl games, with its only win coming in the 2000 Sugar Bowl (Florida State). And if Wake Forest couldn’t win the 2007 Orange Bowl, then you can just forget about it – NO ONE can win then. Prediction: N.C. State falls in a nailbiter to Boise State (this year’s “Boise State,” by the way), 2-0, in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl. The Broncos record a safety in the game’s waning minutes for the win. Go ahead and call your bookie, Tim Donaghy.
