Sooners, ‘Canes could
be headed for Fiesta

We’re less than a week away from
the release of the first BGS poll of
the season — hey, our palms are
sweaty, too — but going off Satur
day’s results, right now you have to
like a Miami-Oklahoma matchup in
the Fiesta Bowl.
The Hurricanes have a far easier
road to Tempe, Ariz., than the Soon
ers. OU plays four teams that can
beat them: Iowa State, Colorado,
Texas A&M and Texas Tech. UM has
one: Virginia Tech (and that is at the
Orange Bowl).
One point that’s obvious after Sat
urday: Oklahoma’s defense is better
than Miami’s.
Other teams remaining in the Fi
esta Bowl mix are Oregon, Virginia
Tech, Ohio State, Washington State,
Notre Dame, Georgia and North Car
olina State.
The biggest wild cards: Ohio State
and NC State.
The Buckeyes should be favored
in their remaining games, but there
still are questions about their pass
ing game and their secondary. Will
the Buckeyes finish unbeaten? No.
NC State’s schedule has been an
easy one, so there are questions
about how good the Wolfpack really
are. NCSU still has games with Clem
son, Georgia Tech, Maryland and
Virginia, as well as Florida State. Will
NC State finish unbeaten? No.
Washington State already has lost
once, and the Cougars host Oregon
on Nov. 9 in a game that should de
termine the Pac-10 title.
Notre Dame and Georgia have
tough remaining schedules. Notre
Dame will lose at least twice, Geor
gia at least once (and we wouldn’t be
surprised if the Bulldogs — who
seem to play up, or down, to the lev
el of their opponent — lose twice).
Because of its one-dimensional of
fense, Virginia Tech will not win at
Miami, though it will be close.
Our BCS picks right now:
Fiesta: Miami vs. Oklahoma.

South Florida looks as if it will be
an immediate contender when it
becomes a full-fledged football
