Opening Round Match-Ups for 2011

To place the National Championship game on the same night, the opening round of the FBS playoffs would begin on December 17th.  Each game would be played at the home field of the team with the higher seed.
Can R. Wilson take the Badgers to the Quarter finals?

We would see the following games:

(1)  LSU   vs   Louisiana Tech  (16)
(8)  Kansas St.   vs   Wisconsin  (9)

(5)  Oregon   vs   Southern Miss  (12)
(4)  Stanford   vs   West Virginia  (13)

(3)  Oklahoma St.   vs   Arkansas St.  (14)
(6)  Arkansas   vs   TCU  (11)

(7)  Boise St.  vs   Clemson  (10)
(2)  Alabama   vs   Northern Illinois  (15)

Even the first round could provide some exciting match ups.  Sure, the 1, 2, and 3 seeds would roll but so do the #1's in college basketball.  Each of the other games are open to debate.  Clemson playing on the blue turf in Boise would be a great game.  Oregon and Southern Miss could be surprising.  I wouldn't count TCU or West Virginia out of the second round just yet.

How do you think each game will turn out?  Vote in the Side Bar for each game!

Next week, the Quarterfinals will be set based on this week's voting!

    LSU by +30
    Wisconsin by 10
    Oregon by 14
    Stanford by 20
    Oklahoma St by 28
    TCU by 3
    Clemson by 7
    Alabama by +30

  2. This is good stuff bud!
    I agree with all your choices (maybe not on the spreads) except for the Clemson vs Boise outcome. Don't get me wrong if Clemson comes out like they did against VT then they will make it hard for Boise. But come one man.... Boise on the smurf turf.... with Moore playing in his final home game(s)... Got to go with Boise in this situation.
