Predictions Most Likely to Come True From My POV:

-Oregon punches their ticket to the National Championship Game with a win over USC.

-There won't be a SEC team in the National Championship Game this season. LSU, Auburn, and Alabama will somehow end up knocking each other out.

-Florida will end up winning the SEC East this year.

-Ohio State has a great chance to win a National Championship this year as long as they don't lose to a struggling Penn State team.

-The winner of the Big 12 title game (Oklahoma v Nebraska) will be undefeated, left out of the National Championship Game, and will most likely play an undefeated Boise State team in the Fiesta Bowl.

Ummm...LSU has needed luck to beat Tennessee and Florida and barely beat a suspended UNC team - They can't beat one of those twelve other teams you listed

Wins are wins even if the results are ugly...

-LSU was ill prepared for the UNC game because they got cocky and thought they "wouldn't have to show up" because there were a TON of UNC players ineligible...

-LSU overlooked a struggling Tennessee team because they were going to Gainesville the next week and it almost bite them in the ***, but they survived...

-Their close calls are building momentum and confidence for the Tigers like crazy...

-LSU is going to shut down Cam Newton on October 23rd. After shutting down Auburn, LSU is going to favored at home against Alabama, with the winner winning the SEC West...

1) I can't believe Oklahoma and Nebraska haven't already made arrangements to keep that rivalry going every year even after the Huskers leave the Big 12.

2) How angry will the Officials from the Big 12 be if Nebraska routes everyone on their way out the door and take the Big 12 title in their last year in the league?

3) LSU may not be getting any respect right now, maybe it's starting to come after the win at UF; but a few times in my life I have seen teams that win this way and appear to have fate on their sides. LSU is looking scarily like a team that just is not meant to lose no matter what happens.

4) It would not suprise me to see LSU cause some real problems for Auburn if their defense shows up and plays their best football. The SEC west is a monster this year and I could really see it coming down to a 3 or 4 way tie for the division win.

I will be very pissed off if Nebraska wins the Big 12, wins the National Championship, and then says cya on the way to the Big "10."

LSU is going to surprise some people. It seems like Les Miles has sold his soul to the devil for another National Championship.

- LSU isn't that good.

- Oregon hasn't beaten better teams than Oklahoma.

- I would rank OSU #1.

LSU will have 3 losses at the end of the year

Oregon's schedule is about as strong as Boise State's so they should be fine

Boise State still has Nevada on their schedule and Nevada should be a top 15 team when they play and with Oregon State making waves...hmmmmm...We know Boise State is gonna be #1 in the BCS next week the question is how much is Va Tech, Oregon State and Nevada gonna help them

Pretty bold prediction, it's been tough to shut Cam down for anybody this year and the fact is they won't see anything remotely close to Cam this season. I think the key to the LSU game is that it will be strength against strength and the fact is Auburn will make LSU throw it against our D because our front 7 is built to stop the run which is why sans Arky I really like AU's chances this season. That being said I don't think it will be a one sided game by any means I think it will be a very close game that is decided by whether one of the LSU QBs can actually play good football and honestly against our pass rush I don't think they can but my sunglasses are slightly of orange tint.
