Soon we will all complete exams and head home for a month. At home we'll find family, food, friends, and, for sports fans, football, basketball, and hockey in abundance. With that in mind, here are a few predictions for the holiday sports season. At some point you will read a column in your favorite sports section blaming Howard Cossell for the drop in football ratings, the failure of the Soviets to negotiate an arms-control agreement, and the shortage of cabbage patch dolls. You will wonder where Dick Enberg gets the audacity to call the Rose Bowl, featuring 6-4-1 UCLA, the grand-daddy of 'em all. It seems like an awfully harsh insult to the grandfathers out there. After the Rose Bowl, or dinner if you are smart, you'll sit down and watch Miami defeat "the greatest football team of all times". Other winners on January 2nd will be Texas, Auburn, Ohio State, and Illinois. Tuesday Afternoon
