Today I am going to write about what I think will happen in the 2009 College Football season.

1. Tim Tebow will win the Heisman Trophy.

2. Florida, the team predicted to win it all, will go 11-1 during the regular season with a loss to LSU in Death Valley, and then lose again to LSU in the SEC Championship, getting a bid to the Sugar Bowl as LSU is in the title game.

3. Texas, the other team everyone thinks will go to the National Championship, will also go 11-1 with a loss in Stillwater to the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

4. The Big XII Championship will not host the Longhorns with the 11-1 record as there will be another three-way-tie between them, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State. Because of their poor out of conference schedule and an early win over the Sooners, they will not go to the Big 12 Title Game.

5. Oklahoma will go to the Big 12 Title game as they will win in the last week of the regular season to the other team in the three way tie, Oklahoma State. They will win over the Kansas Jayhawks and face off against LSU in the National Championship, leaving Texas to the Fiesta Bowl.

6. USC will not win the PAC 10. I don't see how they will win it this year, sorry Trojan fans, but as you replace 10 of the starters on Defense you will also rely on a new quarterback. Also they have a tough schedule that doesn't give me thought that they will have 10+ wins. 6 possible losses are @ Oregon, Oregon State, @ Notre Dame, @ Ohio State, @ Arizona State, and @ California. Those games are going to make it tough for the Trojans to win the PAC 10 this year.

7. There are a few teams that come to my mind as potential winners of the PAC 10. Oregon is my first bet on winning the PAC 10 this year. Though they have two tough OOC games with Boise State and Utah (who Oregon should beat), they have the toughest teams in the PAC 10 at home (besides maybe UCLA). Another team is Oregon State. They will have a great team this year but with the toughest PAC 10 teams they play being on the road, I can't see them passing up Oregon. California is another team that comes to mind for the P10. With the schedule they have I can see them as a 10-2 team. Arizona State is my last bet. I don't see them winning it, but they could suprise people. They only have 2 games (@ UGA and @ Oregon) that are for sure losses. The rest are all toss-ups.

These are just a few predictions, I will add a few more later.
