Can I be your buddy?
There is absolutely no way the line will be that high unless Texas gets a rash of flu's or something equally as freaky. I would peg the line at USC -5 to -6 or a point either way.
On a side note; Texas might actually need some help to make it to the Rose Bowl. With Okla losing to TCU and the rest of the division down the BCS will put Bama in there if they run the table and probably Va Tech too.
