65 predictions, #2

Well, tomorrow starts the college football season. It's about time!

#2: As 1-loss Florida takes on 2-(or 3-)loss Alabama in the SEC title game, a stake in the National Championship is on the line. Undefeated (or maybe 1-loss) Texas is in, assuming they win the Big 12 Title game. USC is knocking on the door with 1 loss as well. If Penn State is undefeated they are in the discussion as well (but I got them at 11-1, so I think they are out).

Florida with a win, makes it. With a loss, we get a Texas-USC Rose Bowl rematch. But that game would never live up to the last one, with Vince Young and the Longhorns edging out Matt Leinart and the Trojans, so I got to go with Florida beating Alabama in the SEC Title game.

I know it's a lame pick, b/c they are 1-2 right now, but I've gone through the schedules and Florida winning the SEC, even with 1 loss, gets them to the NC. Texas winning the Big 12 with 1 or fewer losses gets them there as well. Of course, if there are undefeated teams from BCS conferences and UT/UF each have a loss, the discussion changes, but I see USC, Ohio State, Penn State, and Va Tech with at least 1 loss apiece.
