Kansas State is one of the surprise teams of the year and deserves a lot of credit from where they have been. Kansas State does have flaws. They tend to not do well against spread pass teams. Oklahoma and Oklahoma St each scored over 45 points each and almost 700 yards given up against Oklahoma [...]

Orange Bowl: 23 West Virginia vs. 15 Clemson
Healthy Sammy Watkins and a confident Tahj Boyd will be the difference in this game. West Viriginia just lost one of their running backs to MCL and ACL tear, so I will pick Clemson because they will stop the run and control the clock. Prediction: Clemson 38 West Virginia 24 Results: West Virginia 70 Clemson [...]
Sugar Bowl: 13 Michigan vs. 11 Virginia Tech
Yes, I am a Michigan fan…Yes, I am biased, but I will keep my biases to a minimum…Michigan wins. Prediction: Michigan 34 Virginia Tech 31 Results: Michigan 23 Virginia Tech 20 F/OT W: 18-12
Fiesta Bowl: 4 Stanford vs. 3 Oklahoma State
Stanford has Luck, Oklahoma St. doesn’t. Does that mean Oklahoma St. won’t win? Power vs. Spread. I picked Wisconsin over Oregon, but this time I am picking Oklahoma St. because they are motivated to prove everyone wrong. If Oklahoma St. was a traditional power I wouldn’t make that pick, but Oklahoma St. has nothing to lose. Stanford hasn’t [...]
Gator Bowl: Ohio State vs. Florida
I don’t have much positive to say. Both Florida and Ohio State have solid defenses, but Braxton Miller will be the difference in this game. Fuck Florida. Fuck Ohio State. Florida, go back to the Spurrier times. Fuck Urban Meyer. I pick OSU. Prediction: Ohio State 28 Florida 24 Results: Florida 24 Ohio State 17 [...]
Capital One Bowl: 20 Nebraska vs. 9 South Carolina
South Carolina has been pretty impressive this year even after losing Lattimore and Garcia. I am very impressed with South Carolina’s defense and Nebraska this year has been and up and down team. So, I pick South Carolina and their defense. Prediction: South Carolina 24 Nebraska 17 Results: South Carolina 30 Nebraska 13 W: 16-10 [...]
Outback Bowl: 17 Michigan State vs. 16 Georgia
This is going to be a great game. Two solid quarterbacks. Two good defenses. This is a coin flip, but this is a different Michigan State team. Usually, I would say that since Michigan State doesn’t want to be there and it seems they feel they should be BCS bound and just come in sluggish, [...]
Ticketcity Bowl: 19 Houston vs. 22 Penn State
I’m not going to get into “Rape Gate”, I’m just going to talk football. Houston does not do well against teams with a good pass rush and Penn State does not do well against the spread. Penn State will pressure Houston and will cause Keenum to turn the ball over. Houston really does not seem [...]
Little Caesars Bowl: Western Michigan vs. Purdue
Big 10 vs. MAC. I am biased. Straight up. I pick Purdue purely because they are a Big 10 team. Prediction: Purdue 35 Western Michigan 27 Results: Purdue 37 Western Michigan 32 W: 13-5
Chick-fil-A Bowl: Virginia vs. 25 Auburn
Virginia vs. 25 Auburn – Michael Dyer is out and Cam Newton will not be coming back to play college football/give $200,000 to any other player on Auburn and that’s why I pick a mild upset…Virginia Cavaliers. Prediction: Virginia 31 Auburn 24 Results: Auburn 43 Virginia 24 W: 14-9
Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl: Illinois vs. UCLA
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. [...]
