The point spread has been bet up to anywhere from 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 points in Las Vegas sports books, but Bartucci thinks USC -- which he considers arguably the best team in college football history -- will cover with ease. He predicts a final score of USC 44, Texas 27.

Texas and its Big 12 Conference counterparts play a "slower, more primitive brand of football" than the Trojans and their Pac-10 opponents, Bartucci said. The Longhorns stand little chance against USC's superior size, speed, depth, strength and coaching, he said.

* Holiday Bowl, Dec. 29, play on Oregon minus 3 points against Oklahoma: The Ducks have won seven games in a row and will be motivated to prove they belong in a more prominent bowl game, according to Bartucci's analysis.

"They feel slighted by the BCS, and they're going to show that Oklahoma is not on the same level as them," said Bartucci, who is online at patricksfreepress.com. "Haloti Ngata, the conference's defensive player of the year, in that defensive line is going to be too much for Oklahoma."

Oregon has scored 27 or more points in every game but one -- a 43-13 loss to USC -- and when the Sooners went up against a Pac-10 opponent, they were soundly defeated by UCLA in September, Bartucci pointed out.
He went 1-3 in Pac 10 bowl games. I knew this guy was nothing more than a homer when he said that the Big 12 plays a slower, more primitive brand of ball. That's amazing when you consider that not only has the Big 12 dominated the Pac 10 over the last few years, but that you have teams like Texas Tech, Missouri, Texas, Texas A&M, etc. that are practically running spread offenses. Not to mention Nebraska in the West Coast and OU has produced a heisman trophy QB in the last couple of years. It's amazing that somebody that considers themselves a professional actually buys into that.

Wow, we almost held Oregon to a season low - take away that "ball 10 yards out of bounds interference call" and we do hold them to the low.

Yep...this guy missed everything..what a loser. ATX did you email him a copy of this to show him how off he was? His site says "emails welcome" really big at the bottom.
