NCAA Conference Championship Saturday



Time for some quick picks in this Championship Saturday as we are half hour from kick-off between Auburn and South Carolina and the Civil War in Oregon. So here we go....

SEC- Let down for the Tigers? Entirely possible. After last week's incredible comeback for Auburn it is possible that Cam Newton and teammates may suffer heading into the SEC title game against the Gamecocks. All the pressure is on Auburn as a date for the BCS Championship is on the line, not just a Conference title. Despite the worry of a letdown, Auburn has risen to the task time and again this year and will not disappoint this weekend either.

Auburn 38 South Carolina 31

Big XII- Swan song for Nebraska in an old fashioned Big XII championship game against Oklahoma. Nebraska is pulling up stakes and changing conferences for 2011 and would like to leave the Big XII as outgoing champ. Should be a dandy as both teams finished 10-2 overall and 6-2 within their Conference. Oklahoma won the game in 07 and 08 and these two teams met in 2006 as the Sooners kicked off 3 straight years of championship appearances that year beating the Huskers. Oklahoma usually rock solid in these games but something tells me...

Nebraska 27 Oklahoma 24

Civil War- not a Championship game but involves the number one team in the nation so we will give it some blog real estate.Simple, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.. it's going to Glendale

Oregon 42 Oregon St 24

ACC- Virginia Tech started the year as the first victim of Boise State and then the wheels looked to be completely off as they lost to James Madison on September 16th. However, the Hokies regrouped and showed their mettle going undefeated the rest of the way,finishing 10-2. Florida State comes out of the ACC Atlantic and coach Jimbo Fisher looks to reclaim the Florida school's position as conference champion with a win in Charlotte tonight. Tech is on a roll and Frank Beamer caps the '10 season with an ACC crown.
