BCS National Championship

College Football is a huge tradition in America, and has an massive following of obsessed fans, not least the fans of the LSU Fighting Tigers. On Monday, January 9th, LSU will face the Alabama Crimson Tide in the BCS National Championship game, to decide who will be crowned the greatest team of the 2011 season. LSU is ranked #1 in the nation and has not lost a game all year. Alabama is ranked #2 with just the one loss - 9-6 to LSU.

A smart Alabama fan...I don't believe it

Despite these rankings, Alabama are considered favorites, probably because of their domination in the previous game, which they should of won if their field goal kicker hadn't missed more than he hit. I think LSU is being totally underestimated and has many players who are able to pull off big plays at critical times, plus playing in the New Orleans Superdome means they will have some sort of home advantage.

By far the most exciting player for the Tigers is #7, the Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu, a player capable of entirely changing the course of a game in a matter of seconds. Playing on the defense and relatively small in stature, the Honey Badger takes what he wants: blocking passes, grabbing interceptions, creating and recovering fumbles, making huge tackles, and unleashing unbelievable punt returns, including three stunning runs in the all-important last two games of the regular season. Check out the awesome video below to see him in action.

My pick: LSU to get the job done by 7 points, 27-20.
