(Reporting by Camille Drummond) Bonds  |  Funds News  |  ETFs News Bonds Funds News ETFs News. For the past fewweeks I've heard nothing but championship predictions. I've heard everything from USC against Florida, USC against West Virginia, USC against anybody basically. I gotta say that it's getting old.Yes, USC is loaded again, but what else is new.

The only thing I have against that is that, wasn't USC loaded last year? And they still lost to Standford????I'll say it again, Stanford.Florida is loaded, again They lost four games though last year, four And we're ready to crown them the nationalchampions already. I'll be interested in seeing the way they perform this year with so many new weapons on offense and a solid defense.West Virginia? Pass I'll take anyone over them. Ever since the Pat White era started, everyone has predicted them to not only go to the big game, but to win it. That's neither her nor there bottom line is that you can't make it to a national championship getting owned by USF and having all your dreams shattered by Pitt.I'll go a different route I'm predicting Oklahoma vs. Georgia, and why not? Who doesn't like Bobby Stoops or Mark Richt They are great coaches in their own right. Stoops has another solid team, and Georgia should've been playing for the national championship last year.I know they didn't win the SEC, but I would've taken Georgia over LSU any day of the week last year.The only hole in my prediction is these guys have crazy schedules. Oklahoma has home games againstChattanooga,Cincinnati, TCU, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas Tech.

They have away games at Washington, Baylor, Kansas State, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma State.This doesn't look like a hard schedule, but if Kansas plays the way they did last year and if Texas Tech is what everyone is predicting them to be, this could be a tough road for the Sooners There's always Texas too.Then there's Georgia This is where it gets tricky. They have home games against Georgia Southern, Central Michigan, Alabama, Vanderbilt, and Georgia Tech.Then there's their road games. South Carolina, Arizona State, Tennessee, LSU, Kentucky, and Auburn. Not to mention the "neutral site" game with Florida in Jacksonville.
