The Tank thankfully went 2-1 in his college picks last week, touch wood.  My predicted winners are in bold in decreasing order of probability.

#2 USC should handily beat cross-town rival UCLA to set up a BCS Championship Showdown with Ohio State.

#8 Oklahoma beats #19 Nebraska in the Big Twelve Championship Game in Kansas City, Missouri.

Sorry Kathleen, #15 West Virginia is at home and will get by #13 Rutgers.

The Tank was impressed by #16 Wake Forest's win over Boston College on Saturday, November 4, as he was preparing for the NYC Marathon.  #23 Georgia Tech is tough and gave Notre Dame a run for its money earlier this season.  Wake Forest beats Georgia Tech in a close game on neutral turf in Jacksonville, Florida, in the ACC Championship Game.

Game to Avoid Picking:

#4 Florida should beat #8 Arkansas in the SEC Championship Game.  If USC slips in their 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time game, Florida has a chance to leapfrog #3 Michigan and get to meet Ohio State.  However, the Florida game doesn't start until 6 p.m. Eastern and USC should be in control by then.  After they let me down last week against LSU (the only pick that went wrong), Arkansas might bounce back as Florida's national championship dreams perish.
