#4 with a Smile

Special thanks to Sherby for going balls to the wall and predicting every bowl game (although we still need your Cap One Bowl pick, s'il vous plait) I'm not that good, but I will pick the NYD and BCS games. Enjoy:

Outback: PSU vs Tennessee:

A good matchup of the immovable object vs the unstoppable force or however the saying goes. I just don't see Penn State keeping up with UT unless the get some defensive or special teams scores. UT 27-14

Gator: West Virginia vs Georgia Tech:

To be honest, I'm not even sure if Georgia Tech is in this game or not, I just figured they were the one ACC team that I haven't accounted for yet. Anyways, in my South Carolina Fantasy Football League the guy who won was hella annoying and is a WVU grad and kept sending us annoying WVU emails all year. When Louisville beat them 9 of the other 11 of us changed our names to Louisville or "Steve Slayton sucks" references. So there is no way I am taking West Virginia

GT: 27
WVU: 23


Cotton: Nebraska vs Auburn:

I think the Huskers have been underrated all year. This will be a dangerous team next year, especially since I think Texas was overrated this year.

Nebraska 20
Auburn 12


Orange: Wake vs Louisville

Honestly, does anyone care?

Wake 21
Louisville 20


Fiesta I Oklahoma vs Boise State

The Big 12 was a heaping pile of dog stuff this year. If Iowa and Minnesota hadn't screwed up their bowl record would be a whopping 1-5 right now. I know they are getting A.D. back (For All Day) and his last game before going to the Houston Texans will be a good one. But I see Boise on top here in what might be a fun game to watch tomorrow night:

Boise: 34
OU: 31


Sugar: ND vs LSU

Notre Dame's Bowl drought continues. I give them 0 chance of winning this game. Unless they bust out the green jerseys, then I give them -10% chance of winning. Only a Brady Quinn Special (a garbage td to his female WR Jess Samardzjia) keeps this from being a total rout.

LSU 42
ND: 23



Rose: Mich vs USC

I'm really hoping Lloyd has his guys up for this one. Unfortunately, teams that usually get snubbed by the BCS end up laying a Purdue sized egg in their consolation prize game. There is no doubt in my mind Michigan is the #2 team in the country, but they lose here

USC 20
Mich 10


Fiesta II: OSU vs Florida

I've had this score in mind for 3 weeks. I love OSU in this game. I love them big. I've seen the Gators play a bunch this year, probably more times than I have seen the Bucks and the Gators are a great team. They play good d, I love Chris Leak, and Tim Tebow is freaking tough. But what this Gator team does not have that other Gator teams have had is great skill players at the WR and RB position. I don't see it here. Meanwhile, OSU has those guys, no one on Florida can keep up with Ted Ginn and Troy Smith is this year's Vince Young. They'll be better prepared, better coached, and they'll be ready to play. I also hope they carry a Big 10 chip on their shoulder.

It hurts me to do this because I picked the Gators to win it all, but OSU rolls. I'm picking OSU 41-20, but I know there will be a time with about 3 minutes left where the Buckeyes have the ball around midfield and Tressel will be faced with a decision of running the ball or sending Ted Ginn deep for a run it up, the SEC can suck it and Michigan is 100 times better than you guys score. I hope he does. I certainly would in this spot.
In addition, I really want to see that whiner Urban Meyer cry:

"Yeah, yeah.... oh let me taste your tears Urban. Mmmmm... your tears are so yummy and sweet. Oh, the tears of unfathomable sadness! Yummy, yummy guys!"

Cap One Bowl:

I like Healy's analysis. Wisconsin can keep up with the Hogs, Arkansas has been nothing short of dysfunctional since the SEC title game, the Badgers are better and they show up more prepared and ready to play. Possible Rain tomorrow means a slick ball and potential errors from non-Qbs throwing passes for the Hogs. PJ Hill needs a big game early and the O-Line needs to punish Arkansas from the get go.

Wisconsin 27
Arkansas 17
