If they can then they can stay in the game if not this could be the biggest rout in BCS history. Odds are this will play somewhere in the middle, but remember who Boise State beat in their BCS buster &#8211; The Sooners. They haven\u2019t always performed well in big games and their motivation might be off considering the opponent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score Prediction:\u00a0 Oklahoma 45 &#8211; Connecticut &#8211; 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Orange Bowl<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>January 3<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Stanford vs Virginia Tech (+1)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both of these teams have had remarkable seasons.\u00a0 For Stanford, they have achieved at a level the program hasn\u2019t seen in a long time.\u00a0 They had Oregon down early but couldn\u2019t hold.\u00a0 If they had they would have probably swapped places with them.\u00a0 For Virginia Tech things couldn\u2019t have looked bleaker early on but now they are riding an 11 game win streak into the Orange Bowl after dominating the ACC.\u00a0 These teams have never met and have no common opponents so handicapping this one is a real eyeball test.\u00a0 Surprisingly it is Stanford which appears to be the more physical team.\u00a0 The Cardinal have been a statistical monster this year and hold the advantage in many categories&#8230;except experience.\u00a0 This is rareified air for Jim Harbaugh and Co while Frank Beamer and the Hokies are no stranger to the BCS.\u00a0 Will that matter?\u00a0 With the short spread get down on who you like now.\u00a0 Don\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score Prediction:\u00a0 Stanford 27 &#8211; Virginia Tech 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sugar Bowl<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>January 4<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ohio State vs. Arkansas (+3.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a game not featuring an outright champion this one is kind of juicey.\u00a0 Ohio State is a bit of a mystery this year.\u00a0 They lost to Wisconsin and their best win might have been against a pretty unpredictable Miami team.\u00a0 Yet they are still the favourite against an Arkansas team that beat bowl bound teams the last four weeks of the season and only lost to Auburn and Alabama.\u00a0 This is another matchup where there is no history.\u00a0 There will be a contrast in styles though.\u00a0 Ohio State has one of the better defenses in the nation while the Razorbacks are known for offense.\u00a0 QB Ryan Mallett\u2019s former team, Michigan, can\u2019t beat OSU but I think he can lead the way to victory against the Buckeyes in an upset.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score Prediction:\u00a0 Arkansas 42 &#8211; Ohio State 27\u00a0 (I know&#8230;shocker)<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>BCS Championship<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>January 10<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Auburn vs Oregon (+3)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the first time in a while I think it is safe to say that the system worked in terms of matching the top two teams for the Championship.\u00a0 Although both of these squads can play defense this one should see lots of points and big plays and be a very fast paced game.\u00a0 It looks like the early action is favouring Auburn as the spread has jumped a half point from the opening line.\u00a0 There is no telling what might happen over the next few weeks to this line but at the current number I think Auburn is the play.\u00a0 However, if it gets much bigger I might reverse field like LaMichael James and back Oregon (I am reserving that right).\u00a0 Given everything we have seen of Newton and Auburn this season it seems like they won\u2019t be denied.<\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR <a href=\"\/forums\/college-football-betting\/\"><strong>College football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
