FACE OFF
THE MATCHUP

Zach Parker vs. Jason Bushey judging by Nick DeCaro
1. As the college football season winds down and the BCS Championship is still up for grabs, what would your ideal match up be?
ZP: Personally, I would love to see Hawaii and West Virginia in the BCS National Championship game, but there is almost no chance that will happen.
If West Virginia wins out, they are a virtual lock to make the trip to New Orleans, but unfortunately Hawaii will be relegated to a lesser bowl.
Therein lies the problem with the BCS system. After watching both Hawaii and Missouri play, Hawaii is a better team, but the BCS shows no love for the WAC.
With a playoff system, the undefeated Warriors could show their skill against the nation's best and play for a shot at the title.
JB: If I were to pick the ideal match-up for the BCS National Championship game, it would be Missouri vs. West Virginia.
Mizzou quarterback Chase Daniel is one of the nation's top passers and running back Tony Temple's return gives them some explosiveness in the backfield.
As for West Virginia, Steve Slaton and Patrick White have made for a dominating rushing duo, leading the Mountaineers towards the BCS Championship game.
Should this match-up occur, you can wake me up in a month and a half, when this game is actually played.
Anyone for a playoff? Yeah, me too.
THE SCORE
In a perfect world undefeated gets you in
Zach 1
Jason 0
2. Will the Patriots lose over the break? Or at all this season?
ZP: I feel that the Patriots are still unbelievably good, even after the scare from the Eagles.
Brady and the troops are playing better football than ever. Granted, the lowly Eagles struck some fear into the hearts of Patriot Nation, but no one on their remaining schedule stands much of a chance.
The Giants might sneak up on the Pats in Week 17 if the hoodied master Belichick benches his starters too early, but don't count on that.
