8. I won't be too surprised if Utah wins the Rose Bowl.

None of Utah's players have opted out, but four of the best Buckeyes players decided to protect their health for the NFL draft and not play.

Understandable decisions by them, but it's also a little surprising since it's the ROSE BOWL! I doubt those decisions would've been made prior to the BCS/playoff system.

Ohio State might as well try to use the Rose Bowl as an opportunity for younger players to exhibit their talent for next season, I guess.
