College Football III

So we have made it to the big bowl games. Let's get to the action:

ROUND 2:
In the Fiesta Bowl, #1 Alabama takes on #12 seeded Florida.
This rematch of the SEC championship plays out as it did before as Tebow lacks any big-time play-makers other than himself. More tears are shed as the Crimson Tide eek out a 31-28 victory.

The Orange Bowl pits #3 Cincinnati vs. #8 Georgia Tech.
The ramblin wreck prove they are just that. Five turnovers leads to 28 points for Cincy as the Bearcats cruise in a 45-27 romp.

The Citrus Bowl sees #4 TCU vs. #6 Oregon.
This rematch of an early season game has the same outcome. 55-31 TCU wins going away.

The Cotton Bowl sees #2 Texas vs. #10 East Carolina.
The underdogs nearly pull off the victory, but fall just short - losing 42-38 in OT. Texas is on to bigger and better bowls... but will they survive?


ROUND 3:
The Sugar Bowl plays host to #2 Texas vs. #3 Cincinnati.
This is an offensive shootout. Neither team has a defense, but Texas has too much offense, walking away with a 62-42 win.

The Rose Bowl welcomes #1 Alabama vs. #4 TCU.
Unfortunately for the Horned Frogs, Alabama has a defense that is ranked #1 for a reason. 28-3 as a final score does not do it justice. Alabama has their way with TCU and marches into the championship...

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP:
Held at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium - new home of the Cotton Bowl - Texas and Alabama get to spar.
Hold that. Texas has no Defense, and the offense has never played a stout defense. This is a one-sided sparring match. Alabama wins 27-7. Only allowing a late touchdown when reserves are in the game, Alabama cruises to destiny.


For the record: I am a Tennessee fan and do not like Florida or Alabama. But , facts is facts and FL and AL are the two best teams in college football by a wide margin this year. Texas is a distinguished, but distant third - but is comfortably ahead of all the others.
