My End of Week 5 BCS End of Season prediction

This is the pick that I pit against Vegas.  The test is to see how close my prediction is now verses the money men in Vegas as compared to where the teams actually finish the regular season.   This does not include bowls because of how conferences may finish and because of how some bowls are locked with certain conferences which guarantee them a higher finish then they really deserve.

As much as I want to, I can not interchange Oklahoma with our Red Raiders. Oklahoma has the better team and a game plan which will cause all teams the face a headache.  Its not that Oklahoma is completely better. But their game plan on offense is damn good. An example is that Oklahoma averages 16 seconds between plays. Thus Oklahoma puts a new meaning in the idea of hurry up offense which causes all teams they face this year to get caught with 12 men on the field penalties and it prevents defenses from switching out Personnel for the majority of the game. Thus creating some very big mismatches.  I have not seen enough to remove them as top team until someone can come up with a solution or if they have an internal offensive meltdown like they did last year.
