Miami and Ohio State are the only remaining undefeated teams in the nation and both deserve a shot at the Nationals. However, the regular season is not over.
Miami still needs to play....
-[#21] ranked Pittsburgh
-[NR] Syracuse who defeated a ranked team already
-[#13] Virginia Tech.
Miami could end up losing to one of these teams but I doubt it.
Meanwhile, Ohio State gets to play it's final regular season game against rival #10 Michigan who has a good chance of handing Ohio State it's first lost, wiping them out of the Fiesta Bowl.
Texas already lost their shot at the Nationals, leaving Washington State knocking on the doorstep, patiently awaiting for either Miami or Ohio State to step out.
I strongly predict that it will be Miami vs. Washington State in the Fiesta Bowl. Thats' good for my USC Trojans, who can end up playing in the Rose Bowl, which is only a half-hour drive from my house.
A lot could happen in the next 2-3 weeks and all we can do is wait. May the best team win. |
Mistakes are bound to happen sometime to Miami - they've gotten to comfortable in where they are, winning every game. When that happens, things begin to get sloppy. THat hasn't happened yet, and Miami's coaching staff better keep it that way if they want to keep the #1 spot AND win the championship game. If, or when a mistake happens, it's going to be major. Don't forget - it's easier to win regular season games than bowl games
Ohio State hasn't yet shown their full potential, and I'm not just saying this because I'm a fan. Their defense hasn't been performing as well as they should be and without it they wont defeat Michigan State, and it's over. They could give Miami a run for their money
Washington State is still a contender of course but OSU did beat them earlier in the season. Oklahoma might as well be considered out of the running at this point unless OSU and Washington State lose their final games.
This will be an interesting few weeks
