Midseason Awards Time!
Most Likely to Win the Lottery - Les Miles, LSU
Coach Miles could probably go golfing during a thunderstorm without a care in the world. Somehow, his team is undefeated while looking horrendous on offense. The latest pure-luck moment? How about a last-minute bounce pass for a first down...
Most Likely to Get Hit by a Bus - Anyone from Purdue
Purdue has been hit by injuries worse than anyone in the country...and it's not even close. Their starting QB, Robert Marve, a transfer from Miami, tore his ACL. So did their best WR, Keith Smith, and their best RB, Ralph Bolden. Both were on the All-Big Ten team last year. Coach Danny Hope has required all remaining offensive players to wear suits of armor when not playing football.
Most Likely to Never Score Again This Season - New Mexico
The Lobos are 0-6 and have scored 10 TD's all season. While other teams have scored less (Looking at you, San Jose State) New Mexico has also ran about 100 more plays than them. No way New Mexico scores again unless ruffies are involved or someone gets really, really drunk - Wyoming has been known to...

| Coach Mark Richt approves of the change in rivals |
Although MSU's Dion Sims wins the award for most bizarre charge against him, the University of Georgia has had 11 players arrested since March - all separate incidents.

Most Likely to Be Hated By Everyone - Jon Wilner, San Jose Mercury News
Mr. Wilner is a writer who votes in the AP Poll that you see every week. This voting right is given out to a handful of journalists who the NCAA believes give a diverse and accurate view of the college football landscape. Mr. Wilner's accurate viewpoint has Oklahoma as the number one team (not one other voter came close to agreeing with him), Oregon State (3-2) as the #10 team, and Virginia Tech, who lost to the powerhouse of James Madison, ahead of undefeated Michigan State (who, by the way is ranked 23rd). Great work, Jon!
Enough made up awards, here's some quick predictions on some BCS match-ups:
National Championship Game: Boise State vs. Oregon
Rose Bowl: Ohio State vs. TCU
Fiesta Bowl: Nebraska vs. Auburn
Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. West Virginia
Orange Bowl: Florida State vs. Michigan State
Just my two cents. MSU vs. Illinois preview will go up tomorrow afternoon. Go Green!
