Royal Rumble Anyone?

Simmer down all you college football fanatics. I am going to break it down for all of you and tell you who is going to be National Champions this year. With USC and Texas taking a step back from a top of the polls, this year's run to the championship could resemble one of the old WWF's Royal Rumbles that I used to watch as a kid.

Let's start with the SEC. Without a doubt the best football conference in the NCAA. Teams like Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Auburn will lead the way in their respective divisions. But, watch out for the likes of South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama for the have the talent to beat you. And that is exactly the point. The SEC is so tough that to make it through the season and to survive the SEC Championship game, it would quite an accomplishment. It could also hinder them from being in the top two spots at the end.

The Big Ten is just as tough as the SEC, with Michigan, Penn State, Iowa, And Ohio State being in the forefront. If Ohio State can survive a trip to Austin and beat the other conference powers, then they will be there at the end in one of those spots.

The PAC-10 is USC's to lose. They are clearly the favorites, but don't overlook Arizona or Oregon for they will challenge the Trojans.

The ACC has the likes of Florida State, Miami, Virginia Tech, and Clemson. Again, there is so much competition that I think that they will cancel each other out, much like a low ranked Florida State won the ACC championship game and was invited to the Orange Bowl.

The BIG-12 has way too many questions to answer that it is pretty much up for grabs. With that in mind, I think Bob Stoops and Oklahoma will come through as the champions of that conference.

Notre Dame is solid with a great coach and a veteran quaterback leading the way. Their schedule may prove to be to much for them on their way to another championship, but never count out the Golden Domers.

That leaves me with the Big East. Yes, I know it is weak and gets no respect. But everything looks good for my Mountaineers. Two very crucial road games to Pitt and Louisville may cost us our hopes for our first national championship. Louisville also has a tough road to travel if they want to represent the Big East.

It all boils down to this, my prediction on the two teams that will square off for all the glory in January. I have washed it through my elaborate amount of computers that makes the BCS look like childs play. Here it is: in a revenge game from 1988:
