Campus Confidential

By Adam Abramson

I'll start by saying I'm still in the United States. Enough about that. I will hopefully be watching the BCS games on the other side of the Pacific.

Moving on: The Texas-Oklahoma situation is delicate to say the least. It again proves that it matters when you lose. The Big XII can't go wrong with either team resenting the conference, though -- both are playing outstanding football as we all saw on Thursday and Saturday night. If I had a vote that counted, I have to give it to Texas, though. Isn't the best determiner a head-to-head on a neutral field?

I have to give props to the 45-35 campaign that was prominently featured during the Thanksgiving telecast of aTM-Texas. It ended up being a futile movement, but it was impressive, nonetheless.

If Oklahoma somehow manages to blow it this weekend, you'll see Texas in the title game. And while reader furnk brings up a good point about having to win your own conference, Texas would be a fine contender for all the marbles.

BCS predictions:
National Title: Florida vs. Oklahoma
Sugar: Alabama vs. Texas
Rose: Southern California vs. Penn State
Fiesta: Utah vs. Ohio State
Orange: Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech

That's a great slate of games, with the only snoozer being the Orange Bowl.
