12 minute Bowl Picks

GILDAN NEW MEXICO BOWL - Wyoming vs. Temple

BYU

NEW ERA PINSTRIPE BOWL - Iowa State vs. Rutgers
Iowa State

FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE MUSIC CITY BOWL - Wake Forest vs. Mississippi State

Georgia Tech. Why? They suck less.

KRAFT FIGHT HUNGER BOWL - UCLA vs. Illinois
Both of these teams are terrible. Edge: UCLA. Reason: Don't care.

AutoZone LIBERTY BOWL - Vanderbilt vs. Cincinnati
These are two teams that I like, with entertaining quarterbacks. Cincinnati. You know what is funny, I still can't spell Cincinnati. Also, there is a small town near Cornell named Cincinnatus. I wonder in there are many Cincinnatuses in a Cincinnati.

Chick-fil-A BOWL - No. 25 Auburn vs. Virginia
In the upset, an emerging UVA team

TICKETCITY BOWL - No. 19 Houston vs. No. 22 Penn State

They should call this the WTF bowl or the Underachievers Bowl or the Overrecruited Bowl. I am taking Ohio State.

OUTBACK BOWL - No. 16 Georgia vs. No. 17 Michigan State
If the UGA receivers could catch the ball, the SEC Championship would be more interesting. They held LSU w/o a first down for the entire first half.

CAPITAL ONE BOWL - No. 9 South Carolina vs. No. 20 Nebraska
South Carolina

ROSE BOWL GAME PRESENTED BY VIZIO - No. 5 Oregon vs. No. 10 Wisconsin

Oklahoma State is just the better team

ALLSTATE SUGAR BOWL - No. 11 Virginia Tech vs. No. 13 Michigan
Another fun to watch game, I am taking Michigan and Denard Robinson

BBVA COMPASS BOWL - Pittsburgh vs. Southern Methodist
Pitt

GODADDY.com BOWL - Northern Illinois vs. Arkansas State
Arkansas State, big.

ALLSTATE BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP - No. 1 LSU vs. No. 2 Alabama
The karma police will make Alabama win, just so their original game would have been meaningless. Harris Poll and USA Coaches, you suck. Oklahoma State should be playing in this game and you know it.

Bowl Games....

The college football bowl season is my favorite time of the year.

Comments:
* Oklahoma State should have been in the title game. Alabama had their chance, AT HOME. Oklahoma State is the more compelling matchup, at least to me. The great thing about college football is that every game means something. With this game, the previous one meant nothing. In fact, all you did is force LSU to play another game against a top 15 opponent.

* Oklahoma State and Stanford will be fun to watch.
