The Blogalicious College Football Games of the Week

Monday - Texas v. Ohio State (at Glendale, Arizona). While everyone expects a whitewashing here, it should be noted that Ohio State has actually done pretty well recently when they've been playing in bowl games that don't decide the national title. Prior to their back-to-back BCS blowouts, they won four straight bowl games, three of which were, as this game, the Fiesta Bowl. That being said, this is also What Could Have Been, Part III, as Texas is going to do its best to show that they were snubbed and to get back some of the spotlight that Utah gained by winning the Sugar Bowl. So probably still a good beating for the Buckeyes. Score: Texas 57, Ohio State 28

Tuesday - Tulsa v. Ball State (at Mobile, Alabama). This has to be a little bit of a downer for Ball State, given that they went from a potential all-unbeated matchup with Boise State to the GMAC Bowl against Tulsa. Tulsa won last year's GMAC Bowl 63-7 over another MAC team, Bowling Green. Not a good sign. Score: Tulsa 49, Ball State 38

Thursday - Florida v. Oklahoma (at Miami, Florida). You've undoubtedly heard all the stories about how the BCS title game pits the unstoppable force of the Sooner offense versus the immovable object of the Gator defense. But I'd prefer to look ahead to next year, when Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow will match up as the starting QBs of the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs (I'll leave it to you to decide which QB ends up where). Regardless of the outcome, both will think back to better days, when they were winning Heismans and competing for national titles, rather than focus on the endless haze of sacks, pressures, and picking turf out of one's face mask. Savor the moment, gentlemen. Score: Oklahoma 31, Florida 27
