Another hatefilled storybook SEC rivalry in the brewing

Another hate-filled, storybook SEC rivalry in the brewing.Most likely, the winner will go on to play for the crystal football while the loser will spend the off-season explaining their loss to an MWC team in New Orleans.Here's my take on where we stand now, and how the rest of the season will play out leading up to Selection Sunday. What we knowTexas, Florida, Alabama and Ohio State are locks for the BCS, regardless of outcomes. Most likely to clinch a BCS berth this weekTCU just needs a win at home this week against 1-10 New Mexico. Who is on the bubble for an at-largeIowa, Penn State, Boise State, and Oklahoma State. Who seems the least likely but still has an outside shot of getting in Unranked Nebraska needs to upset Texas in the Big 12 Title game No. 18 Clemson needs to beat Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship Game No. 19 Oregon State needs to beat rival Oregon at Autzen in the Civil War. What other key games will likely determine BCS berths No 12 Oklahoma State at Oklahoma Nevada at No. Mark Ingram strengthens his case for the Heisman with another clock-chewing 124-yard rushing performance. Pitt over Cincinnati 20-17 Pittsburgh exploits the suspect Cincinnati ground defense with their explosive running game. Oregon over Oregon State 37-31 The Ducks, who blocked the Beavers from the Rose Bowl last year, will stave off the Beavers once again despite a 140-yard rushing performance from Jacquizz Rodgers. Georgia Tech over Clemson 28-24Paul Johnson and the Yellow Jackets prove once again to be too much for Clemson despite their close game earlier at Georgia Techa game where the Jackets were aided by a phantom offensive holding call against Clemson late in the 4th quarter. Oklahoma over Oklahoma State 24-20 Even though Zac Robinson returns to the field, Oklahoma stuns the Cowboys in Norman. How will the BCS Bowl Selection play out BCS Title Game : Texas vs Alabama Rose Bowl: Oregon vs Ohio State Orange Bowl: Pittsburgh vs Georgia Tech Sugar Bowl: TCU vs Florida Fiesta Bowl: Penn State vs.

Boise State How they got thereAfter losing Alabama to the BCS Title game, the Sugar Bowl will get the first replacement pick and will select the Gators.The Fiesta Bowl will go next and replace Texas with Penn State, banking on the Joe Paterno entourage and the Nitts strong base of traveling fans.The Orange Bowl goes next and will choose Pittsburgh to face ACC tie-in Georgia Tech.The Fiesta Bowl will follow-up by selecting Boise Statea team that cut its teeth at the Fiesta Bowl and seems to travel well.All of this leaves the Mountain West Conferences TCU to the Sugar Bowl.. Today, Joslberto Pujols Alcara, was named the unanimous choice for his third National League Most Valuable Player award. It wouldn't surprise me if he is soon named captain of the St. Louis Cardinals.Pujols has clearly exemplified what it means to be a Cardinal He is a hard working, honest, good man. It is hard to find a time in Pujols' day when he is not at the ballpark taking swings or donating his time to a local charity.From a baseball standpoint, many would say that Albert is the best player in the game. In today's MVP voting, hereceived 448 points, the most possible. In comparison, the runner-up, Florida Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramz,received 233 points. From a purely mathematical standpoint, we can deduct that the voters think Albert Pujols is almost twice as good as any other player in the National League.The last St Louis Cardinals team captain was Ken Boyer No doubt, Ken was a great leader.

Albert could in fact be one of the best leaders in baseball, right up there with Derek Jeter the Captain.Not only is Albert an amazing ballplayer, he is also the emotional leader of the Cardinals. If Paul Konerko and Jason Varitek can be team captain, I see no reason why the Cardinals cannot give the best player in baseball the same honor.And while it would cost St. Louis a couple bucks to stitch some red "C's" on the front of Big Al's threads, it could really pay off in the long run. Each of the three current captains in Major League Baseball (Varitek, Konerko, and Jeter) have been with their teams for at least a decade. Giving Pujols such an honor could cement him in a Redbirds uniform for years to come, and save them a couple thousand dollars in the long run.Pujols says he is more interested in having five World Series rings like Derek Jeter, than having seven MVPs like Barry Bonds.The Cardinals could no doubt supress this thirst by making him El Capit.
