Justin Blackmon Has Explosive Season

The last 2 seasons, the Oklahoma State Cowboys had a wide receiver that the whole nation knew about. His name was Dez Bryant. Now, fast forward to the 2010 season. Another wide receiver took college football by storm. His name is Justin Blackmon. Just how good was he? Well how about this, he never failed to record under 100 yards and had a touchdown in every game. By the way, he happens to play in the Big 12 against some of the nation's best teams. He finished his 2010 season with 1,782 yards and 20 touchdowns (not to mention he missed 1 game). An absolutely terrific season for a great player!

Nebraska vs. Washington HOLIDAY BOWL

On Thursday, December 30, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will square off against the Washington Huskies. It's a bit of an odd placement. Nebraska already beat Washington 56-21 in Seattle earlier this year. It beat Arizona 33-0 in the Holiday Bowl last season. There was the sense that they were a little underappreciated getting into this game. Either way, they will show up and they will play.

Prediction: Nebraska Cornhuskers 42, Washington Huskies 31

Oregon or Auburn?

I know, I know. These aren't Big 12 Teams. But let's be honest, they have played like the two best teams in college football. So my question is, who is going to win the BCS National Championship game? The Auburn Tigers and Cam Newton? Or LaMichael James and the Oregon Ducks? I think it will be a very good game but I have my money on the Auburn Tigers. Here are my 2 reasons:

1) Quarterback play. They have the Heisman Trophy winner in Cam Newton. nuff said

2) The Conference. They play in the SEC - the strongest conference in all of football. They have been battle tested nearly every week.

Texas Coach Gets Florida Gators Job

Will Muschamp has been announced the new Head Coach for the Florida Gators. He replaces Urban Meyer, who unexpectedly announced his resignation for the 2nd straight year. Only this time he did not announce his return the next day. Will Muschamp was the defensive coordinator for the Texas Longhorns and had already been announced the next coach of the Longhorns after Mack Brown was finished at Texas. Congratulations at Florida for Will Muschamp!

#9 Oklahoma 23, #13 Nebraska 20

By the 2nd quarter, the Nebraska Cornhuskers built a 17-0 lead. However, the Oklahoma Sooners would storm back with a 23-6 run and take home the Big 12 Crown with a 23-20 victory. Landry Jones threw for 342 yard with a touchdown. The Cornhuskers had 4 turnovers and suffered another tough defeat in the Big 12 Championship Game. Next season the Nebraska Cornhuskers are headed to the Big Ten.

Big 12 Title Game: Oklahoma Sooners vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers

For the 2nd straight year, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are back in the Big 12 Title Game. It's fitting considering the Cornhuskers are in their last season in the Big 12. It's also fitting that they are playing their main rival - the Oklahoma Sooners. Don't think the Nebraska Cornhuskers have forgetten their heartbreaking loss to the Texas Longhorns last season by a field goal with 1 second left. Both teams are 10-2 and 6-2 in their respective divisions.

My Prediction: Nebraska Cornhuskers 20, Oklahoma Sooners 17
