Title: With few upsets, BCS title race lacking usual excitement
Post by: Jamos on October 17, 2011, 02:40:46 PM

 College football fans didn't need Sunday night's BCS standings announcement to tell them how the national title race is taking shape. What they really need is something interesting to happen on the field.

Saturday was yet another uneventful day at the top of the rankings as the top nine teams in last week's AP poll won by an average margin of 30.5 points (No. 10 Arkansas didn't play). Only No. 8 Clemson (7-0), which rallied from an 18-point deficit to beat Maryland 56-45, was in danger of losing in the fourth quarter. It looked more like a Saturday in early September, when the big boys are feasting on FCS and directional schools, than mid-October, the heart of conference play.

He picks Bama and Oklahoma for the BCS game, and LSU vs. Boise State for the Sugar Bowl.

My type of expert.
