Gerry's Pick: The national media have already declared this race over. For some folks, the only question is whether or not West Virginia will win the national championship. Indeed, the Mountaineers were impressive against the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl last year. But, I'm not buying into it. Louisville is superior to West Virginia on both sides of the ball. QB Brian Brohm may make a run at the Heisman Trophy this year. November 2 could well be a de facto Big East conference championship game. Expect the Cardinals to defeat the Mountaineers soundly that day. Louisville

Chris' Pick: Unlike Jason Whitlock, I don't think West Virginia is the best team in the country. Hell, they aren't even the best in their conference! You can say all you want about West Virginia's Pat White-Steve Slaton backfield, but they don't stack up as well as Louisville's Brian Brohm and Michael Bush. And the biggest advantage for Louisville -- coaching. Bobby Petrino is an innovative play-caller, and I expect Louisville to take West Virginia out of the championship race. Louisville
