Conference Championship Picks

ACC Championship:
Virginia Tech 24 vs Boston College 20- The Hokies get revenge after their loss at home to the Eagles weeks ago. QB Sean Glennon has really developed a nice one-two punch with freshman Tyrod Taylor to produce a very potent run/pass threat at QB. The key to this game is special teams. WR and KR/PR Eddie Royal will need to be able to make plays so that he can put the Hokie offense in great field position. DB's Macho Harris and Brandon Flowers will need to neutralize the BC receivers so that QB Matt Ryan will be forced into last minute reads and maybe forced my a great Hokie pass rush into a fumble or INT.

SEC Championship:
LSU 34 vs Tennessee 20- After their 3OT loss at home on senior day to Arkansas, Les Miles will have his guys ready and hyped. QB Matt Flynn will be ready and precise with his passes. They will come out on fire and will look to Trindon Holiday for a spark on their opening return. RB's Jacob Hester and Keiland Williams will need to have big days to help ease Flynn into a rhythm. On D, LB Ali Highsmith, S Craig Steltz, and DT Glenn Dorsey will need to keep QB Erik Ainge guessing. If Ainge gets into a zone, than Tennessee could very well win this game. If Ainge throws for 3 TD's and freshman DB Eric Berry gets a pick, than look out BCS because here comes the Volunteers.

Big 12 Championship:
Missouri 31 vs Oklahoma 30- The BCS gets lucky after Missouri preserves their #1 ranking with a HUGE win in San Antonio agaisnt the Sooners, the only team that beat Missou this year. QB Sam Bradford has set freshman passing records but the Sooners will be limited because of the injury to RB DeMarco Murray. His presence could have put OU over the top but instead QB Chase Daniel will jump into the Heisman talk with a big win for himself and the program. Book it down Tiger fans, your going to the National Championship.
