It hasn't even started yet and there are already 200 posts!

Posting a live thread some 21 hours before the event is scheduled to begin would seem to help just a bit.

BEVO arrving at the Rose Bowl with police escort.

I have no idea what BEVO is, and I'm hoping that you didn't just simply make a typo........

Naw, USC probably will be able to finish within 7 points of Texas. Enjoy your final 4 hours as mythical NC's, the bogus torch is about to be passed on to another beauty pageant winner.

I will be very very surprised if this game comes close to surpassing the Ohio State-Miami Fiesta Bowl.

this one would have to go 4 or 5 OTs to surpass it.

OK, it all comes down to which Mack, and more importantly which Vince, shows up. Historically most things point to a Texas choke by a poorly prepared and outcoached team. The teams seems too loose, and Mack a bit too talkative, trying too hard to 'relate' to his players. But Mack has defied his past and not reverted to form all season, so who knows. There's something about Vince Young's attitude that I don't care for, but at least it isn't thuggish. If he comes out sloppy, they could easily fall behind by 13 or more, and while they would narrow the gap and maybe even briefly catch up, it won't be enough. But if he comes out sharp, USC is in for a barn burner, and Texas will win.

Texas 34, USC 27.

But when is the last time that 2 undefeated teams so thoroughly stood above the rest of college football and actually met in an undisputed national championship game?

Game of the Century (pregame, kinda like Texas-Arkansas in 1969, one of several prior GOTC)
