BCS Bowl Predictions: Bet on Oklahoma

Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford will throw for 350 yards and three scores, and DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown add 200 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in a 42-10 victory.

With these likely conference champions, a BCS prediction can be made:

First comes the Rose Bowl, where we will see the Pac-10 champion No.4 USC (12-1, 8-1) matched up against the Big-10 champion No.7 Penn State (11-1, 7-1) in a shootout with the 45-42 win going to the Nittany Lions.

Next comes the Fiesta Bowl between No.3 Texas (11-1,7-1) and the undefeated Mountain West champions No.5 Utah (12-0, 8-0).

The disadvantage in the game for Utah is, they haven’t played a team as good as the Longhorns all season.

Although they keep it close, Texas’ Heisman runner-up Colt McCoy passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-28 Longhorn win over the Utes.

Then we have the Sugar Bowl which features the No.9 Ohio State Buckeyes (10-2, 7-1) and the Tim Tebow led No.8 Florida Gators (11-2, 7-2).

The Gators pull out to a 14-0 lead at the half, due to two passing scores by Tebow. But the Gator defense can’t contain the Buckeyes leading rusher, Chris Wells all game as he rushes for 210 yards and three second half touchdowns in a 24-14 Ohio State win.

Now we come to the Orange Bowl where we find No.16 Boston College (10-3, 6-3) and No.12 Cincinnati (11-2, 6-1).

The Eagles give a great effort gaining 200 yards rushing, and lead 21- 14 at halftime, but their defense gives up four touchdowns through the air to the Bearcats who score 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, in a 35-21 victory.

For classic sake we will look at the Cotton Bowl where we will find No.6 Texas Tech (11-1, 7-1) matching up against 15 Georgia (9-3, 6-2).

This is a high powered offensive game as both the Bulldogs and Red Raiders combine for over 1,000 yards and 110 points.

But it is Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree leading Tech to a 60-50 victory, and Tech’s first ever 12 win season.

Now for the grand finale, the BCS National Championship:

 No.1 Alabama (13-0, 9-0) and No.2 Oklahoma (12-1, 8-1).

The Crimson Tide runs the ball well as Glen Coffee finishes with 190 yards and two touchdowns. But unfortunately, Bama’s defense can’t stop Oklahoma’s high powered offense.

Heisman trophy winner Sam Bradford finishes with 435 yards and five touchdowns as the Sooners end their four BCS bowl game losing streak with a 35-14 win and their eighth National Championship , second under Bob Stoops.

So there you have it, the 2008 BCS Bowl projections. Well, more of a prediction that MIGHT occur. But whatever happens , ENJOY the 2008 season endings.
