A Bowl-d Prediction

By Justin “The nuT” Boroski

    Well kids, another college football season has come and almost gone. Yes, there are still a few games left this year leaving two unbeaten teams to fend for a national title (if Texas wins the Big 12, which is more than likely).
    Also, this brings an end to my time as a writer for the IV Leader. True, you will all miss my goofy looking picture above all of my columns, but I will not leave without a column for you all to think about.
    The college football regular season comes to an official end after this week’s conference championship games, which leads me to my final article, a prediction of who will be each conference’s champions.
    Note, these predictions were made on November 29. Remember that because these games will be over when you read it.
I shall begin with the MAC championship in Detroit with a match-up between our Northern Illinois Huskies (7-4) and the Zips of Akron (6-5). If you all recall Akron took down an injury-plagued NIU earlier this season with a 48-42 home victory. I cannot believe that Akron is a better team than NIU so my prediction for this game is NIU by 10.
    Moving on the Conference USA title game between the Central Florida Golden Knights (8-3) versus the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes (7-4), this game is going to be competitive between two small Division-I schools, but I will predict Tulsa by 3.
    Next, we have the Big 12 title between the Colorado Buffalos (7-4) and the Gods of Texas (11-0), otherwise known as the Longhorns. Yeah, if anyone thinks that Colorado has a fighting chance then more power to them. I personally will go with Texas by 20.
    And now to my favorite, and one of the most competitive conferences in the NCAA, the Southeastern Conference, with a match-up of my team the Georgia Bulldogs (9-2) and the LSU Tigers (10-1). Now, I might be biased, but I will pick my Bulldogs by 3 because, well I’m biased and you all have to just deal with it.
    Finally, the Atlantic Coast Conference with a battle between the Florida State Seminoles (7-4) and the Virginia Tech Hokies (10-1). Now they say Marcus Vick is a better quarterback than his brother Mike, well they are right and in this game he will show just how good he is by pounding Boston College by about 20. Sure it’s a bold prediction with Boston College being a fairly decent team, but hey, that is why it’s a prediction.
    And to sign off I will leave you with one more bold prediction for the national title game…Texas by 10.
