Summertime trip to the Zoo

Visited a Web site known as Draft Zoo and stuck around a lot longer than I anticipated. Here's why...
There's nothing like BCS bowl projections in June, and the Zoo's Mike Harman has dished out his: Oklahoma State-TCU in the Fiesta, USC-LSU in the Sugar, Ohio State-Notre Dame in the Rose, Georgia Tech-West Virginia in the Orange, and Texas-Florida in the national championship.
That would seem to set up a John Blake-esque turn of events for Oklahoma -- losses to the Longhorns and Cowboys in the same season for the first time since 1998.
Another prediction involving the Sooners, courtesy of the Zoo's Hunter Ansley: "Oklahoma will not score 60 points in a single game all season... Neither will Texas Tech... In fact, all of the schools who didn’t hire Mike Leach this past year will feel a little better about that after his team struggles to make a bowl."
And you thought these guys were being a little rough on OU.
One more morsel, since this is the Draft Zoo...
Harman has Sam Bradford going No. 1 overall to the Browns in the 2010 draft, with Gerald McCoy going No. 3 to the Rams, Trent Williams No. 12 to the Redskins and Jermaine Gresham No. 21 to the Vikings.
