Words of wisdom

Over the weekend, I received a couple of reader e-mails that hit several nails on the head.

From Deric in Kansas City:

Here is an ugly truth about what will happen this year in college football. Oklahoma will beat Missouri in the Big 12 Championship game.  It will be close, but for big-game, team preparation, I’ll take Stoops over Pinkel. Then, we will see two of the most overrated teams in college football play for a national championship.  Neither West Virginia nor Ohio State are worthy of playing on the biggest stage college football has to offer.

West Virginia will be No. 1, which is a shame because Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, Missouri and Kansas can beat West Virginia.  So could LSU, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida.  And I believe those same Big 12 and SEC teams can beat Ohio State.  If any of the aforementioned Big 12 or SEC teams played the same schedule West Virginia and Ohio State played, they would be No. 1 wire to wire.
