Virginia Tech had another upset in their march through the playoffs as they beat out Texas in the semi finals. The final matchup pits top seed Alabama against Virginia Tech in the Rose Bowl. An interesting matchup as both teams run the ball well, but Alabama has a dominating defense.
This will be the matchup of the running backs with Ryan Williams from the Hokies versus Heisman winner Mark Ingram. Who ever can run the ball more should get the win.
Time to turn to What is Sports for their projections, and they have Alabama smoking the Hokies 37-6. The Tide was lead by their offense that jumped on the Hokies quick with a 27-6 halftime lead. That lead allowed their defense to run loose and bring pressure against Virginia Tech. Ryan Williams had a good game in the loss with 113 yards, but almost half of that was on a 52 yard run.
Now it is time for the fans to vote and as usual voting will be for 24 hours, so stop on by and vote!

And yet Va. Tech is winning the vote. I think we know who the more motivated fan base is.

Big difference
between the early season matchup and now? The end of the Nebraska game turned Tyrod Taylor into a real QB, Ryan Williams has an entire season behind his belt and has only grown better, and the team has solidified into a real contender.
‘Bama hasn’t really impressed me a great deal since that opening game, excepting a strong performance against Florida. This game would be close if it were played now.
