I know that NCAA Football will start in less than a week. However, it is not too early to start talking about the 2006 BCS National Championship Game, which will be the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. I predict the Ohio State Buckeyes and University of Notre Dame University Fighting Irish will be playing.

Last year, the game was not for the National Championship, but it featured the two football powerhouses, who I believe will play this season's BCS National Championship. The Buckeyes won the game 34-24. This season, the Ohio State Buckeyes may have lost nine starters on defense and one of their great receivers in Santonio Holmes to the NFL. Yet, the offense led by quarterback Troy Smith and wide receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez should not miss a step. Also, there is no need to worry about the Buckeyes defense, because they lose players to the NFL every year.

The University of Notre Dame University Fighting Irish are led by their Coach Charlie Weis and that other Heisman hopeful at quarterback, Brady Quinn. While the Buckeyes and The Fighting Irish will have similar paths to Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, in that they both have four common opponents: University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Purdue University, and Penn State University; the game will again be lopsided and the Buckeyes will walk away with this year's National Champion.

In my opinion, Ohio State University Buckeyes dusted the University of Notre Dame University Fighting Irish last year, because they were a better team. Things have not changed, in spite of the Buckeyes losing so many starters. So, maybe next year will be the year of the University of Notre Dame University Fighting Irish.
