SUGAR IS SWEET
By Danny Reagan / Abilene, Texas
I'm sure glad I'm not a guy sitting in a BCS office somewhere.
But as you can see by the accompanying logo, I am predicting the Texas Longhorns (if they beat Texas A&M) will play in the New Year's Day Sugar Bowl in the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans at 7:30 p.m. against Louisiana State.
That's some guess, huh? Especially since I don't have a BCS computer at my desk and since LSU is currently sitting at No. 1 in the BCS.
Long story short, I think LSU will lose another game (probably against Arkansas), but the Tigers will be the SEC champion - which automatically puts them in the Sugar if they're not in the National Title Game on Jan. 7, 2008. I believe that game will feature Oregon and Kansas - making all the other four BCS bowls even more worth watching.
Most of the teams higher than UT in the polls have 2 or 3 games remaining. The Longhorns only have one - over the aforementioned pesky Aggies.
Since I'm out on a limb already, OU will probably go to the Fiesta since Kansas will be in the title game.
I guess Texas could wind up in the Orange Bowl against the ACC champ - BC, Virginia, Virginia Tech or Clemson, but that wouldn't be nearly as "sexy" as a UT/LSU battle.
