I put VT in the Sugar Bowl and FSU in the Orange Bowl; no more Iowa :(

But I still think they could contend for a spot next year. I'm just going to have to wait until the season starts to get a better look at these teams.

Basically you pick a game between your favorite team and another writer's and you write an article on why your team would win. For you, you might do "Creature vs. Creature: A Wolverine on why Michigan will Beat Purdue." The other writer would do the same, but for Purdue.

There were people who believed in the Cardinals all along. There were people who didn't believe in them at all. No matter what you believed, we are all believing in the Arizona Cardinals now. If you have time, I'd love to know what you think. Thanks!
