For me, the college football season ended last week, when Michigan tragically blew an 11-point fourth-quarter lead over Nebraska and lost, in what was one of the worst officiated games I have ever witnessed in any sport. But I digress.

Also for me, the Rose Bowl is a game that should be played between the best team in the Big Ten and the best team in the PAC 10. I hate this BCS system. But I digress again.

Our readers apparently want predictions. So I will venture one–an upset: Texas 35, USC 31.
