National Championship Predictions

OK, after one weekend in college football I've seen enough to know who has a legitimate shot at playing for the national championship.

1. Ohio State

A great team with two Heisman candidates. A tough opening schedule, but if they survive at Texas and can hold off Penn State in week 4 there will be no stopping this team.

2. USC

All of their "tough" games are at home (Nebraska, Arizona St, Oregon, California, Notre Dame.) Plus they don't play a conference championship game.

3. West Virginia

Their schedule is laughable and no conference championship game.

4. Miami

Underrated and an easy schedule.

5. Penn State

A dark horse candidate, but if they manage to somehow beat both Notre Dame and Ohio State they deserve to play in the big game.

Teams that will NOT be contending, but are good teams:

1. Texas

Their schedule is tough, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. If they do somehow manage to beat all of those teams they deserve a shot in the big game.

2. Notre Dame

I can't see anyone beating USC, especially @ USC.

3. Any SEC team.

SEc schedule too tough, plus they play a championship.

4. Florida State.

Overrated.
