Miami is interesting.
They've already knocked off an 18 and a 14. Two more ranked opponents on deck. I think they can handle VT on the road....If they can somehow knock off Ok at home you gotta believe they have a good shot at running the table with the rest of their schedule. I may have to do some future shopping this week.

I took a lot of heat with friends in my living room during our annual CFB Kickoff Party when I made my bold predictions. Preface it by saying that I almost hit the nail on the head last year when I said Oklahoma wins the NC over Florida and Bradford wins the Heisman, but had the wrong team winning...... But anyways, on to 2009. Being a homer I went with LSU over Penn State with Darryl Clark winning the Heisman.
PSU's schedule sets up nicely, but no one seems to think their SOS/Ranking will get them into the BCS game, but I still think they make it. Though right now I'd probably have to vote Royster over Clark to be honest, but I'll stick with Clark as my darkhorse Heisman candidate.
LSU's schedule doesn't quite set up as nicely as PSU, especially considering they have a game against Tebow & Co on 10/10, but that's why this is a longshot. Here's to hoping. After this weekend, that road victory at UW looks a little more impressive, huh?

Nice picks. PSU is definitely a longshot imo. They always seem to be in the running but are never in the running if you know what I mean. LSU also has to play Alabama in Alabama. That plus the Ole Miss and probably Florida matchup are what led me to pick Alabama as my other longshot pick. I mean they're plenty good imo but those are some tough matchups to get through. Also Tenn doesn't look like they'll be a pushover anymore.
Not a joke at all. Just a longshot prediction. The championship game is never played by the favorites in the early part of the season. So I decided to pick the teams I think are least likely of making it there but do actually have a legitimate chance. Oh and I think Miami wins against VT FWIW. Oklahoma not so sure about. Let's see how VT goes.
Miami runs the table they are in, no doubt about it. The problem is that they probably won't run the table. Even if they get past the next 4 games they will end up losing towards the end because these young kids have not tasted the fame and pressure of being in that spot. It would be nice though because they do deserve it.
As far as Penn state is concerned. If Penn goes undefeated and gets into a national championship game then I right now will promise to never watch another college football game for the rest of my life. Penn St. in any conference but theirs is a mid-level team. At least 4 teams in the SEC, ACC, Big-12 and hell! Even a few in the WAC, MAC, and CUSA could probably beat them. They are crap with a schedule of 2AA high school caliber teams. Not to worry though, they lose this Saturday!
Here is my National Championship longshot prediction:
Miami Vs. Ole Miss! <----Now there is a game worth watching!
Second Best would be:
Miami Vs. Texas <-----Texas gets whooped! LOL!
