    Don't count Clemson out. They have very explosive players and are the last team to beat Va. Tech, which they did in convincing fashion. They have fallen off somewhat recently, but I think that game is 50/50.

    Clemson is going to win.

    Va Tech has played more cupcakes than the 2003 USC team.

    Yeah, 5 % chance for a team that already beat VTech by 3 TDs at VTech.

    Clemson will come to play after sleepwalking the past 2 weeks. The only thing that's been on their radar all season after starting off hot is to win the ACC and get that BCS berth.

    Lines and articles from CFN

    LSU vs Georgia 3 PM CST CBS ... LSU -14

    Scout.com: SEC Championship - Georgia vs. LSU ... Great article ... LSU 34, GA 16
    Quote ... Dawgs won’t fold and they won’t get blown away, but they’re about to play the best team in America ... Betcha that irritates Bama:hihi:

    Ok at Ok State 7 PM CST ABC ... OSU -3.5

    Scout.com: CFN Preview - Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State ... OU 38, OSU 34 :eek:
    What Will Happen: Oklahoma will be Oklahoma. While everyone wants to talk about what might happen if Oklahoma State wins, there’s a reason the Sooners have won seven Big Ten titles under Big 12 Big Game Bob Stoops. Weeden will come up with his numbers and the Cowboys will look fantastic at times, but OU’s defense will do just enough to get into the backfield while stopping Joseph Randle and the OSU running game cold. The Sooner offensive line will outplay the OSU defensive front, and Jones will match Weeden stat for stat in a fun see-saw shootout

    Virg Tech vs Clemson 7 PM CST ESPN ... VT -7

    Scout.com: ACC Championship - Clemson vs. Virginia Tech ... VT 31, Clemson 21 :mad:

    Clemson meltdown gonna split the voters and favor Bama:cry:

    There was supposed to be a "0" behind that "5" in the Clemson vs Va Tech. I guess I should proof read a little more before hitting the submit button!

    Where do you go with your prediction if VT beats Clemson? Do you think that throws it to Bama?

    If Oklahoma State demolishes OU, I stand by my prediction and expect every voter to jump Okie State to no lower than #3.

    I think that is the difference in what the Clemson/VTech game means.

    Means a lot, obviously, but doesn't totally ruin things for OSU. Just makes their chance a lot tougher.

    Clemson is # 20 ... Everyone expects VT to win after Clemson's slide

    Oklahoma is # 10 ... Everyone expects a great game to the finish.

    If VT wins a close game and OSU rolls by 10, I believe the voters will be swayed. If VT gutstomps Clemson and OSU wins a close one ... I believe we get Bama

    I'm calling it OSU by 10 and VT by a FG ... OSU gets the # 2 BCS spot

    I give that scenario a 50/50 shot.
