MAC Championship-Detroit, MI
Central Michigan vs. Ohio
At face value this looks to be a pretty lopsided affair between Central Michiga
n and Ohio. Central Michigan has proven that they can play with the some of the bigger conferences and they absolutely dismantled the MAC throughout the season.Ohio has won seven of their last eight and have also been competitive in some of their non-conference games. The main one being an 11-point loss to Tennessee back in September. It may be close early, but look for the much more talented Chippewas of Central Michigan to win by a couple of touchdowns.
Prediction: Central Michigan over Ohio
Conference USA Championship-Greenville, NC
No. 21 Houston vs. East Carolina
I'm not sure who to pick in this game. Both teams have some questionable losses coupled with a few impressive wins. Houston has hung around in the top 25 all season long and they definitely know how to put up some serious points.
East Carolina has a pretty decent defense and that should slow down the high octane Houston offense a little bit, but not enough to win this game. Houston wins in shootout fashion.
Prediction: Houston over E. Carolina
ACC Championship-Tampa, FL
No. 10 Georgia Tech vs. Clemson
Outside of the SEC championship game, this will be the best game to watch on Saturday. Georgia Tech is coming off of a tough loss to Georgia this past weekend so look for them to ta
ke out their anger on Clemson. A BCS bowl is on the line and Georgia Tech will ride their infamous spread option offense to take them to the promise land.However, don't sleep on Clemson. Anytime you got a playmaker like C.J. Spiller lining up for you on offense, anything can happen. Spiller is a home run hitter and don't be surprised if he makes some huge plays to strengthen his Heisman campaign. A Clemson win would definitely help out his cause.
This game will be close to the end and I like Clemson to pull off the epic upset and send the Yellow Jackets to a demoralizing second straight loss.
Prediction: Clemson over Georgia Tech
Big 12 Championship- Arlington, TX
No. 3 Texas vs. No. 22 Nebraska
Texas's margin of victory has been 10 points or more for six straight games. The Big 12 ended up being extremely watered down this season, and the Big 12 North is even worse than that. Don't look for much in this game. Look at Nebraska as the sac
rificial lamb for the Big 12 North. Someone had to win that horrible division and Nebraska were the lucky winners.The question isn't who's going to win. The real question is how many points will be scored in this game. Look for at least 60 points to be scored between the two teams, and Texas will do most of that scoring. Texas coasts to another Big 12 win and snags a spot in the National Championship game.
Prediction: Texas over Nebraska
SEC Championship- Atlanta, GA
No.1 Florida vs. No. 2 Alabama
For the second year in a row we'll get the treat of seeing Florida and Alabama do battle for the SEC crown and a shot at the National Championship. This game will be more evenly
matched than last season. This year's Alabama squad has an absolute beast lining up for them in the backfield in Mark Ingram and a streaking quarterback in Greg McElroy. Oh yeah, and that defense isn't too bad either.And then you got the winners of two of the last three national championships in the Florida Gators. It has turned out that Florida may not be as dominant as we originally thought they were, but they're still good enough to go undefeated in the SEC. That's pretty good in my book. Never count out a team led by Tim Tebow. Buckle your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen. This one will be one of the best SEC championship games off all time.
With that said, Florida wins by the slimmest of margins. If their were half-points in college football, Florida would win by a half-point. It's going to be that close.
Prediction: Florida over Alabama
