Week 13. Just when you thought it was getting hot, it just scalded your face.
Oklahoma blew the top off Texas Tech this weekend in a stomping that should have made any spectator recoil in pain. The Oklahoma defense was impenetrable and ravenous, eating Graham Harrell for dinner with four sacks on the night. Tech just stuck their thumbs in their mouths, and cried. How embarrassing.
Now that Tech is no longer in contention for the BCS title, lets look at our possible BCS Championship contenders:
Alabama is still #1 in the BCS standings, but they will need to prove their clout against upcoming opponents Auburn and Florida. The Gators have one of the strongest offenses in the SEC, and are on pace to demolish any team standing in their way to a BCS Championship berth. I give my vote to Florida for the BCS Championship berth – Alabama is going to have one heck of a time trying to overcome the Gators in the SEC Championship.
In the Big 12, Oklahoma and Texas are sitting pretty with Tech still gasping for breath after this weekend. Oklahoma will face a ranked Oklahoma State team this coming weekend, and will need to seal the win to capture the Big 12 Championship berth. If the Sooners are upset by the Cowboys, then Texas Tech will have another opportunity to see the Big 12 title game. Texas will face Texas A&M this coming weekend, and the Horns are heading into the game as strong favorites over the Big 12 cellar-dweller. Despite the clear schedule for week 14, nobody knows which way the vote will swing when it comes down to Texas and Oklahoma for the Big 12 title bid.
If both Texas and Oklahoma can defeat their opponents this weekend, then it is likely Oklahoma will pull ahead in the polls due to a tougher schedule. In that case, It is likely we will watch Oklahoma in the BCS title game. However, the Longhorns have a way to pull off the unimaginable, so my vote is solid for the Longhorns.
My prediction for the BCS Championship game:
Florida Gators vs. Texas Longhorns
