The BCS was just released and it was what we all expected. LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Boise State are the top 5 teams right now and I could not disagree. Is that how things will stand on Sunday, December 4th for the Bowl Selection Show? Since current #1 LSU will play #2 Alabama on November 5th, and #3 Oklahoma will travel to Stillwater to face Oklahoma State for Bedlam on December 3rd, we know for sure that two of the top five will lose at least one game. Here is how I think it will unfold from here along with a review and player/team awards. For the record those of you who saw my picks in July I had Alabama over Oklahoma in the BCS Title Game.
Midseason Awards:
Epic Fail Award for a team: Florida State Seminoles
This team made me look stupid again this season but they pretty much made everybody look stupid this year.
Epic Fail Award for a player: Steven Garcia, QB, South Carolina
He is trash and always has been trash. It is a shame that it took Spurrier four years to kick him off the team.
Surprise Team Award: Kansas State Wildcats
Bill Synder is doing it again. He is a legend
Surprise Player Award: Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU
The “Honey Badger” is the new Charles Woodson of CFB
National Freshman of the Year: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
This kid is going to win the ACC MVP as a freshman. He is could be one of the best players in ACC history when it is all said and done.
National Defensive Player of Year: Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina
I think he has more touchdowns than WR and teammate Alshon Jeffery lol
Midseason Heisman Winner: Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
Sticking with my July prediction here.
Midseason Conference Champion Predictions
ACC: Clemson over Virginia Tech
Big East: West Virginia
Big10: Wisconsin over Nebraska
Big12: Oklahoma Sooners
CUSA: Houston over Southern Miss
MAC: Toledo over Temple
Mountain West: Boise State Broncos

BCS Bowl Predictions

Sugar: LSU Tigers vs Oregon Ducks
Orange: Clemson Tigers vs West Virginia Mountaineers
Fiesta: Oklahoma State Cowboys vs Boise State Broncos

Sticking with my prediction from July. To all the gamblers out there I would recommend putting some money on Oklahoma State to win it all. They were 15-1 yesterday on a few sites and they control their own destiny.
