I literally have no idea where to start. Both have new coaches. Both have terrible offenses. And, both have nothing to lose. This is a flip of the coin. Illinois gets it. Prediction: Illinois 21 UCLA 20 Results: Illinois 20 UCLA 14 W: 14-8

Liberty Bowl: Cincinnati vs. Vanderbilt
Vanderbilt is a much better team than their record shows. With close losses to Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and Arkansas, it looks as if that 6-6 record is actually not that bad for a Vanderbilt team. Cincinnati has had a solid year, but with two late loses in the season, a beating by Tennessee, and a [...]
Sun Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Utah
Georgia Tech will run all over Utah with the triple option attack. I do think Utah can win this game, if they jump ahead early, but I do not see that happening and Georgia Tech will dominate position and the game. Prediction: Georgia Tech 34 Utah 20 Results: Utah 30 Georgia Tech 27 F/OT L: [...]
Meineke Car Care Bowl: Texas A&M vs. Northwestern
Northwestern has gotten hot at the right time winning four of the last five and Texas A&M falling apart doing the opposite losing four of their last five. Even though, this is a home game for the Aggies and Northwestern hasn’t won a bowl game since 1949, I’m going to go with Northwestern in the [...]
Insight Bowl: Iowa vs. 14 Oklahoma
And…again this year, Oklahoma chokes, but the reasoning had much to do with injuries. If they choke this game away they should join the WAC. I don’t think Oklahoma will lose this one, because Iowa doesn’t have the defensive line they usually have; including all the jailbirds that were kicked off the team last year. [...]
Music City Bowl: Mississippi State vs. Wake Forest
Talk about a team with a lot of momentum going into a season, Mississippi State has got to be one of the more disappointing teams in the SEC. Wake Forest never ever been really any good, but have shown flashes this year of promise. The unfortunate side for Wake Forest is promise and reality are two different [...]
New Era Pinstripe Bowl: Rutgers vs. Iowa St.
This is one intriguing game. For one, Rutgers has improved tremendously this year without their running game. Iowa St. beat one of the best teams in the country in Oklahoma State. Defense will be the name of the game in this one and Rutgers only giving up less than 19 points game will be the difference. Prediction: [...]
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl: BYU vs. Tulsa
I honestly no little to nothing about these two teams, but I do know that BYU has one of the hottest offenses in the country. This will be a high scoring affair and the balance that BYU has had over the last half of the season will be the difference in this one. Prediction: BYU [...]
Alamo Bowl: Washington vs. 12 Baylor
RG3! The kid is a stud and while Sarks Dogs will be trying to bark, there is no way they will stop Baylor or RG3 in Texas. This is a home game for the Baylor and are one of the hottest teams in the country. Only Chris Polk and the running attack may save Washington, [...]
Holiday Bowl: California vs. 24 Texas
I’ve been to many Holiday Bowl games over the years and most game are very exciting. I think this game will be too. Both teams are very athletic, but Texas has looked stronger both defensively and offensively as the year gone on, but the Holiday Bowl is always the “Upset Bowl”. But, I’ll pick the [...]
Belk Bowl: Louisville vs NC State
I think Louisville has better coaching and has gone from the bottom of the shitest “Bigger” conferences, to one of the top teams. I think coaching wins this game. Louisville in a close one. Prediction: Louisville 31 NC State 28 Results: NC State 31 Louisville 24 L: 5-4
MAACO Las Vegas Bowl: Arizona State vs. 7 Boise State
Boise State will kick the shit out of Arizona State. ASU has little to no defense and has fallen off the map through many injuries. This is the easiest game to pick all bowl season. I think Kellen Moore gets his 50th win and not one person will give a shit because 45 of them [...]
Poinsettia Bowl: 18 TCU vs. Louisiana Tech
Louisiana Tech? Seriously? I feel for LT because TCU is hot and they have looked good toward the end of the season, especially against Boise State (Thank TCU for beating Boise State because I am sick of them crying every year). I believe TCU runs all over Louisiana Tech. TCU wins big. Prediction: TCU 38 [...]
Beef “O” Brady’s Bowl: Florida International vs. Marshall
I am not even going to make fun of this bowl title because it is beyond words. I honestly don’t know shit about these teams. I know this game is being played in St. Petersburg, FL so I am going to say the home team wins this game by default. Prediction: FIU 31 Marshall 21 [...]
New Orleans Bowl: SDSU vs. La Lafayette
Don’t know that much about ULL, probably because this is their first Bowl Appearance. But, I do know about San Diego State and they have come on the last few years and has been very consistent. San Diego State has a balanced attack with Ronnie Hillman at running back and is 3rd in rushing. I [...]
