Bowl predictions in May ... Why?


Leave it to CollegeFootballNews.com to come out with its way to early 2009 bowl projections on Monday. Seriously, bowl predictions in way?

OK. They are interesting, but the so-called experts can't even get these predictions correct in December. Why should anyone care about this now? Well, because it stirs interest and pisses others off.

The positives for Phil and me ... both Ohio State and West Virginia claim the automatic BCS bids according to these predictions. The Buckeyes finally get to go to the Rose Bowl in the Jim Tressel era in an interesting matchup against Oklahoma. The Mountaineers would get another shot to embarrass the SEC against Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl. OSU and WVU are also considered possibilities in the Orange Bowl.

The BCS Championship game prediction is no real surprise: defending champ Florida against the typical end of the year favorite Southern Cal in Pasadena. Interesting note here. Ohio State and WVU are considered possibilities in this game also.

A Buckeyes-Mountaineers matchup would definitely heat things up at An 'Eye and an 'Eer.

I don't want an OSU-WVU matchup. The Buckeyes are currently unbeaten by the 'Eers in my lifetime. Hope to keep it that way.
