Outback BowlIowa vs. South Carolina
Both teams Defenses are ranked in the top 12, but Iowa's hot streak and the running of Shonn Greene will be the difference. PICK: Iowa RESULT: Iowa 31-10 (13-10)
Capital One Bowl
Michigan State vs. Georgia
Many people's pre season #1 pick Georgia disappointed many this season and Michigan State played beyond expectations. This game will feature two of the nations best RBs in J. Ringer and K. Moreno. Look for Georgia to play the way they were supposed to all season. PICK: Georgia RESULT: Georgia 24-12, Both star RBs were held in check by the opposing Ds (14-10)
Gator Bowl
Clemson vs. Nebraska
Clemson was another team that didn't play up to their pre season top 10 hype. They changed coaches during the season and regained some of the offensive power they had in 2007. PICK:Clemson RESULT: Nebraska 26-21, Clemson blew a 14-3 halftime lead (14-11)
Rose Bowl
USC vs. Penn State
USC could have easily been in the title game, with so many NFL prospects this should be another beating of the Big 10 champs just like last year's beating of Illinois. PICK: USC RESULT: USC 38-24, this one was all USC despite Penn State's late effort (15-11)
Orange Bowl
Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati
Does this even deserve to be a BCS Bowl game? V Tech usually stinks it up in Bowl games and Cinci has found creative ways to win all season. PICK: Cinci RESULT: V Tech 20-7, The Hokies end their bowl slump (15-12)
Cotton Bowl
Texas Tech vs. Ole Miss
This is a good SEC/Big 12 battle just like the title game. Tech knows how to score and Crabtree should put on a huge show, in what may be his last college game. PICK: Texas Tech RESULT:Ole Miss 47-34, Highly disappointing showing by the Red Raider as the SEC wins another a bowl game (15-13)
Liberty Bowl
East Carolina vs. Kentucky
ECU had a lot of early season upsets and then stumbled before winning 6 of their last 7. PICK:ECU RESULT:Kentucky 25-19, another game where the team struggling ha a big 4th quarter to get the win (15-14)
Sugar Bowl
Utah vs. Alabama
This year's non BCS team that claims they belong with the big boys. Alabama was number 1 much of the year and played a tough SEC title game with Florida. Alabama will be too strong for Utah. PICK: Alabama RESULT: Utah 31-17, Alabama gets embarrassed by Utah who will finish the season as the only unbeaten team in Division 1 (15-15)
International Bowl
UCONN vs. Buffalo
Both programs are on the rise but UCONN features the nation leading rusher RB D. Brown, and the chatter of Buffalo coach T. Gill leaving for a better job may be a distraction. PICK: UCONN RESULT: UCONN 38-20, UCONN muffed 2 kickoffs, and turned the ball over 5 times in the first 17 minutes of the game before getting back on track. Huskies RB D. Brown rumbled for 261 yds (16-15)
Fiesta Bowl
Ohio State vs. Texas
Many question whether Ohio State from an overrated Big 1o deserved a BCS bowl, and Texas will show them they don't while trying to gain some National Championship votes from the media. PICK: Texas RESULT: Texas 24-21, Ohio State blew a late lead to give Texas the win, and despite the Longhorns pleas to voters should not be a factor in the National title picture. (17-15)
GMAC Bowl
Tulsa vs. Ball State
2 great QBs in this one, Ball State lost the MAC championship to ruin their perfect season, their coach has left them and they were too scared to committ to a bowl matchup with Boise St. before the MAC Championship loss. Things continue in that direction. PICK: Tulsa RESULT: Tulsa 45-13 Ball State's downfall continued as Tulsa put a beat down on them (18-15)
BCS Title Game
Florida vs. Oklahoma
The 2 best teams in the country. I had Oklahoma has my #1 team for this season after last seasons bowl games and they have looked powerful this season, and "but for" some injuries to their middle linebackers could be undefeated. The Sooners also have some key injuries heading into this game. Florida has won all the big games this season and after Tim Tebow shed some tears after watching his team botch an XP, nobody has played harder than the Gators. 2 Heisman QBs face off, and the current Heisman winner usually doesn't play too well, and the SEC has dominated the title game in recent years. PICK: Florida. RESULT: Florida 24-14 As there was any doubt the SEC would win the BCS title. Florida showed that they could also play some D with 2 goal line stops before halftime. And as Tim Tebow promised after the loss to Ole Miss, he would not let his team lose (19-15)
