We really need to come up with a catchy name for this

It's game week, finally, and now time to reveal the first annual Only in America official preseason predictions. We had a good turnout this year, as all but one of our contributors decided to participate. That means six voters' ballots were combined to make this year's picks, all making their selections completely independent of one another.

First, we have what is by far the least interesting of our four categories: the BCS conference champions. Without further ado...

Southeastern Conference:
LSU - 4
Georgia - 2

Big Ten:
Michigan - 5
Iowa - 1

Big East:
West Virginia - 3
Louisville - 2
Rutgers - 1

Pacific 10:
USC - 6

Atlantic Coast Conference:
Virginia Tech - 2
Clemson - 1
Florida State - 1
Miami - 1
Wake Forest - 1

Big XII:
Texas - 3
Oklahoma - 2
Texas Tech - 1


Thoughts: It's all basically chalk, but that's to be expected any time you have multiple people voting on anything in the preseason. The only truly interesting thing to note is that five different teams were tabbed as ACC champion. Maybe that's because we all remember Sean Glennon's bowl game meltdown all too well, or maybe it's because the ACC truly is the most wide open league here at start of the season.
