Orange and Blue Hue » Five Predictions for Football…And More

Without further ago, here we go:

1. The team goes 12-1 heading into a BCS bowl.

Personally, I think is a reasonable prediction for now, given the raw talent on this football team. However, the talent of the SEC, combined with potential issues with the defense, will likely cost this team a win. It might be Georgia, Tennessee, or LSU, but regardless, this team could trip up somewhere. Even if it doesn’t, expect at least one close game.

2. Tim Tebow does not win a second Heisman.

There will be too much dissent, too much statistical drop, and too much talent on the offensive side of the ball for it to happen. Besides, Tim has openly stated that he wants jewelry to more Heisman hardware.

But he’s done enough in two years to make himself a living legend, anyway. More awards would just add to the validity.

3. The team breaks the school record for points scored in a season for the third time this decade.

Tebow’s loss is Chris Rainey’s, Emmanuel Moody’s, Carl Moore’s, etc. gain.

Oh, and the last two teams that set the record didn’t play in the SEC title game.

4. If Tebow wins the national championship, he declares for the draft.

Probably a little out on a limb. But outside of a ring, he’s got nothing left to prove on the college circuit. With the way the rookie pay scale is structured, he could get one of the richest contracts in league history. And he can still take classes at UF to finish his degree.

Emmitt Smith graduated six years after declared early. Several of the ’04s did it over the summer. Why not Tim?

5. One of the running backs will have a breakout season

It might be Moody, it might be Moore, it might even be Rainey or Demps. But with the competition on the depth chart and the raw talent level available, someone is due to separate themselves from the pack.

In case you haven’t heard, Urban Meyer wants fans to “White Out Cancer” this Saturday, so break out your ice cream jerseys. And that doesn’t include the canned food drive he’ll be holding in front of the O’Connell Center before every home game.

Philanthropy through football? Hmmmm.

Nice job Vince I have to agree that this team may break the scoring record. However, I don’t think Tim would leave early National Title or not. It would go against everythign he stands for……although I do agree that he should jump if he brings another title back to title town. Bring your sweat rags Saturday! Hawaii is in for a punishing day.

I wouldn’t count my orange-and-blue chickens before they hatch.

However, Tebow does sound like he wants to stay four years. I took a walk on the wild side for this one.

Thing is, Tebow always stated he wanted to stay for four years…until, a few weeks ago in Dan Patrick’s ESPN column, he said he’d have to “talk” to Urban Meyer and Dan Mullen about it. Sinking feeling commenced.

I can confirm what “This Guy” said… I also read the article and my hopes for a fourth year are no longer up. Who knows though…could go either way.

I’m not making this up:

There are reports that the former Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ocho Cinco.

Seriously.
