Orange,

I hadn't heard that confirmed, just that he was the favorite (Pelini). I'm not worried-- there's a lot of sentiment around here that his head hasn't been in the game ever since Osborne became A.D. (i.e. since Callahan became a dead mean walking). I expect to lose Miles as well.

That said, I still think LSU wins. (At least, I hope so.) I expect VT to win, too, and while I feel like Oklahoma will win, I'll be rooting for Missouri, partly for traditional-underdog reasons and partly for similar anti-Big 10 / OSU reasons.

p.s. I think Hawaii will win, too. They're too strong at home-- that's a huge advantage for them. So, they'll win, and proceed to get obliterated by LSU in the Sugar Bowl, and we still will have no idea how good they really are.
