Visions of 2007 are dancing in my head. What am I talking about? Well, with four top 10 teams going down last weekend, coupled with prior upsets, I can’t help but look ahead at what could be. Remember in 2007 we had a 1 loss Ohio State take on a 2 loss LSU? We could have something very similar to that again this year. But that depends, can anyone dethrone the Gators? They have shown some vulnerability, but can anyone take advantage of it? Guess we’ll find out when they travel to Death Valley for a pivotal SEC game. Texas looks good, real good. Will the Sooners have Bradford and an offensive line when it’s time to play in the Red River Rivalry? At this point, they seem to be the only real obstacle keeping the Horns from a Big 12 Championship and a BCS birth. That leaves Alabama. The Tide seems to be regaining the form they lost before the SEC Championship game and the Sugar Bowl.  They are playing some tough defense and the running game has been nearly unstoppable. But you never know what will happen on any given Saturday. That leaves me with this question, who will be this year’s “BSC buster”? Boise State seems to be the likely candidate, for now. Lets not count out TCU or Houston just yet. If the Broncos finish the year undefeated, they will play in a BCS game. But due to a poor schedule they won’t get into the championship game. The Hornfrogs have the advantage of playing in the MWC. If the Hornfrogs can beat Utah and BYU to finish the season undefeated, they could possibly, and deservedly, pass the Broncos in BCS ratings. Houston has the toughest road of all. Coming out of Conference USA won’t boost them up very much. The Cougars do have a lot of football history though. All they can do at this point is win out and see what happens.

That brings me back to the top 3. I see Texas going undefeated. They have a lot of talent of both sides of the ball and I just don’t see anyone in the Big 12 that can take them down. If Florida wins the LSU game, they will probably win the East. The winner of this game plays in the SEC Championship. Who else can challenge the Tide in the west? Can Ole Miss rebound in time to host Bama?  To be honest with myself, I don’t see Florida or Bama losing a game till they meet in the SEC Championship game. The winner of that game will play Texas. But there’s still plenty of football left to be played. And I have plenty of “what if” scenarios dancing around in my head.
