Don't usually do this but I wanted to compare a hypothetical Round 2 in my Playoff for this season where the four winners from Round 1 meet the four bye's at BCS bowl sites for round 2.
In round 1:
Hawaii's passing simply didn;'t work in the windy, frozen tundra of Columbia Missouri and Mizzou pounded Hawaii at home in round 1, 45-24
Unheralded and unknown BYU travels to Morgantown and pounds a confused, downtrodden, demoralize West Virginia team using tough defense shutting down and umotivated spread and efficient balanced attack on offense, 35-16
USC sends KU packing from the LA Coliseum as a healthy USC team playing at home simply had too many weapons for KU to deal with. KU hung around and made it a game, though....USC 34 KU 27
And finally in rematch of the World's Largest Cocktail Party, Georgia looked like a team with a chip on their shoulder and shut Tebow and company down in Athens UGA 38 UF 21
So today....BYU faces LSU in the Sugar Bowl, USC faces Ohio St in the Rose Bowl (that should make those old farts happy), Georgia travels out to Tempe to face Oklahoma, and Missouri meats VPI in the Orange Bowl.
So we have a pretty interesting set of matchups for BCS bowls today and some intriguing potential national semi's for next week that could pit LSU-USC and Gerogia/OU vs Virginia Tech/Mizzou....
In a year where there are eight solid picks for the title game that would be as good as any other eight, this would be a great playoff run of games....
