BSC National Championship

Oklahoma vs. Ohio State

Oklahoma: BSC National Champion

Why Oklahoma will win the National Championship:

Oklahoma has a schedule in their favor. Their road games are games that they should win with ease. The one exception is the neutral site game vs. Texas. Oklahoma is returning 15 starters including sophomore Sam Bradford, who had a solid freshman year.

Why Ohio State will make it to the BCS National Championship Game:

Ohio State is returning 18 starters from a team that won 11 games last year. Todd Boeckmen is back and look for OSU to use Tyrelle Pryor in certain situations towards the end of the game, while trying to kill clock. OSU has the schedule to make it. If they get past USC, no one else can stop them on their schedule.
