California landed its next quarterback, Austin Hinder from Colorado, and ESPN called him a "Jeff Tedford guy" so for what that's worth these days.
Were guys like Hinder enough to climb Cal into the top 15 classes in the country?
One thing we know for sure is that Florida made a killing. Some people are calling this one of the greatest recruiting classes of all time. It is loaded with athletes from both sides of the ball, and Urban Meyer landed 17 players in the ESPN top 150, which includes the top recruit in the country, athlete Ronald Powell.
Texas, USC and Florida State each landed two five-star recruits (Florida had four). Texas got stud DE Jackson Jeffcoat and OLB Jordan Hicks, while got the best WR (Robert Woods) and the best OT (Seantrel Henderson).
The Seminoles, behind Jimbo Fisher, landed CB Lamarcus Joyner and ILB Jeff Luc.
The season is over, unfortunately. We will probably get into talking about recruiting, and recruiting classes, here pretty soon, but we're gonna wrap up the 2009 season with a few things.
Obviously Alabama is the top team, and Florida slots in right behind them. Texas actually drops to fourth somehow, with Boise getting a top three finish.
Check out how the rest shook down.

BCS National Title Game

BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

 

No. 1 Alabama v. No. 2 Texas: Three hours from now, the finale of the 2009 college football season will be under way in Pasadena, and this year's National Title game will get no complaints from me. Two teams, both 13-0, who are the most deserving of being in the title game.

Bowl Picks: GMAC Bowl

GMAC BOWL

 

Central Michigan v. Troy: Just a quick blurb on this one since it's retarded to have a non-BCS bowl game on Jan. 6.

When I asked Ben who he was picking in this game, he said LeFevour. That's about right. Dan LeFevour will be the difference in this game and he will end his 14-year college career with a bowl win and a 12-2 season.

Picks

Matt: Central Michigan

Ben: Central Michigan

Bowl Picks: Orange Bowl

ORANGE BOWL

 

No. 9 Iowa v. No.11 Georgia Tech: The deceptive, uncommon offenses, such as Paul Johnson's triple option at GT, can be very hard to prepare for, considering you do it just once a year. If anyone can be ready for it, it's the stout defense of Iowa.

Bowl Picks: Fiesta Bowl

FIESTA BOWL

 

No. 3 TCU v. No.5 Boise State: I have talked to a few people that think this is going to be a great matchup and that it's good for college football and all that stuff, but Ben and I couldn't disagree more. When you have a great team, like TCU (or Utah last year, or the 2006 Boise team) you want to see them play the big dogs, like those other two teams did. Boise is very good this year, but TCU is an elite team who could hang with Texas, Florida, Bama, etc...

As I sit to watch the Cal v. Utah game, here is the next round of bowl picks.


LITTLE CAESERS BOWL

 

Marshall v. Ohio: Ohio is athletic and talented. They played fairly well in Knoxville this year and are the MAC's second-best team. I actually am expecting a blowout here behind Theo Scott (2,258 passing yards, 19 TD) and crew.

Picks

Matt: Ohio

Ben: Ohio

 

CAR CARE BOWL

 

No. 18 Pittsburgh v. North Carolina: Butch Davis. What is it about his teams that I don't like? I can't put my finger on it. Maybe Ben can. They just don't seem good enough to hang with a physical, blue-collar team like Pitt. I expect Dion Lews to get over 30 carries and go for close to 200 yards. Pitt wins in bruiser fashion.

Picks

Matt: Pitt

Ben: Pitt

Bowl Picks: Part I

That's right, it's Bowl Season!
In just a few days from now, the College Football Bowl games will kickoff, meaning we'll be seeing the last of quite a few good players, including this fat guy, Anthony Davis of Rutgers.

Davis and the Scarlet Knights are one of two teams that will be in action on Saturday, followed by a Sunday game and some games scattered through next week.

We're going to take a peak at the first six bowl games, give some insight and some analysis and see how accurate our picks are.

The first six games are the New Mexico Bowl, the St. Petersburg Bowl, the New Orleans Bowl, the Las Vegas Bowl, the Poinsettia Bowl and the Hawaii Bowl.
We don't refer to the bowl games by the corporate name if it can be avoided.
So, let's get it going. Here is the first preview installment.
