Jason White - Oklahoma

so thats it. the whole breakdown. all of these great awards will be decided and presented tomorrow night at 7 pm on ESPN, except for the grandaddy of them all the Heisman Trophy. it will be presented on saturday at 7 pm on ESPN. tonight the Bednarik Award was decided and the big winner was David Pollack of Georgia. so good for him.
the big question is who will win the heisman. obviously i'm parital to my sooners. i truely believe that its all jason whites. his numbers are overall better than matt leinart and alex smith, unfortunately plays for utah. adrian peterson looks like he might have a chance at it, but that whole he's still a freshman is kicking him in the rear. and reggie bush is probably the most amazing athlete out of all of them, but he hasn't been consistent the whole season and he has matt leinart who is taking all of the usc votes. but it looks like the man taking home the heisman will be leinart. from everything i'm hearing and seeing from all of those worthless press types, they are gonna sympathetically give it to leinart. ever since those fools at usc pissed and moaned that they should have been in the national championship last year all they have gotten is sympathy from everyone. there is no way in hell that the big 12 champion and the sec champion, that are both undefeated, shouldn't be playing for the national championship.
so now the bcs and all the great bcs games that we are going to wittness this season. here are the games and my predictions:

FedEx Orange Bowl
2 Oklahoma (12-0) vs. 1 USC (12-0)
(OU 31- USC 14)

Nokia Sugar Bowl
3 Auburn (12-0) vs. 9 Virginia Tech (10-2)
(AU 14 - VT 21)

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
6 Utah (11-0) vs. 20 Pittsburgh (8-3)
(Utah 28 - Pitt. 7)

Rose Bowl
5 Texas (10-1) vs. 12 Michigan (9-2)
(UT 21 - UM 24)

so these are the games. a couple of great match ups. obviously ou and usc is going to be great. but that obvious. the rose bowl and fiesta bowl are both going to be worthy of a bcs bowl. in my opinion cal. can go suck an egg. i agree they got screwed, but texas got what they deserved. if anything stupid pitt. and their dang big east championship and their automatic bowl bid. i fill really sorry for utah. they are gonna be able to say "see, the mid-majors can come in and win against the big dogs." but they are playing pitt. seriously. i don't know if i can suffer through that game. my roomate is a utah fan, so maybe we'll see.
check this out - buy of the week
go to baylorbears.com and get your official "Gig This!" t-shirt from their ovetime shocker win against texas a&m. it says "gig this" on the front and "sic'em bears" with the 35-34 score on the back. i thought that was hilarious when i saw it and i just might have to pick one up myself. not that i'm a baylor fan nor do i hate a&m that much. its just hilarious.

BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!!
