"You're hairy! You're so hairy like a bear! Your nipples are so pink!"
"Yes they are!"
I love it! Ohhh!”

MILITARY BOWL - ANNAPOLIS
(6-6) VIRGINIA VS (6-6) NAVY +2
VIRGINIA STARTED THE YEAR WELL WINNING THEIR FIRST 5 OF 6. SINCE THEN, NOT SO MUCH, LOSING 5 OF 6. NAVY DID MUCH THE SAME, WINNING THEIR FIRST 5 BEFORE LOSING THEIR LAST 5 OF 6. NAVY HAS WON 4 STRAIGHT BOWL GAMES, WHILE NOT ONLY IS THIS THE CAVS FIRST BOWL SINCE 2011, THEY HAVEN’T WON A BOWL GAME SINCE 2003.
NAVY
CAMPING WORLD BOWL – ORLANDO
#22 (9-3) VIRGINIA TECH VS #19 (9-3) OKLAHOMA STATE -4
VA TECH COMES INTO THIS GAME A LITTLE BANGED UP AND THEIR OFFENSE STRUGGLED LATE IN THE YEAR, AVERAGING JUST 17 PPG IN THEIR LAST 5 GAMES. OKSTATE HAS BEEN A SCORING MACHINE THEIR LAST FIVE GAMES. UNFORTUNATELY, THEIR DEFENSE DISAPPEARED IN THOSE GAMES. I DON’T THINK VATECH CAN MATCH THE SCORING OF THE COWBOYS EVEN THOUGH OKSt CAN’T PLAY D.
OKSTATE
ALAMO BOWL – SAN ANTONIO
#13 (9-4) STANFORD VS #15 (10-3) TCU -2.5
STANFORD HAS WON 8 OF THEIR LAST 9 GAMES, THEIR SOLE LOSS COMING TO WAZZU IN PULLMAN.
TCU BEAT MOST TEAMS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BEAT, BUT NOT ENOUGH OF THOSE THAT THEY NEEDED TO BEAT.
THIS ONE IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO A BATTLE BETWEEN STANFORD’S OLINE AND TCU’S FRONT 7. IF TCU NEEDS TO CROWD THE LINE, THEY BECOME VULNERABLE TO THE PASS. THE FROGS HAVE YIELDED 20 PASSING TDS, BUT ONLY 6 RUSHING TDS.
STANFORD
HOLIDAY BOWL – SAN DIEGO
#16 ( 9-3) MICHIGAN STATE VS #18 (9-3) WASHINGTON STATE +1
MICHIGAN STATE QUIETLY PUT TOGETHER A PRETTY GOOD SEASON AND WERE IN POSITION TO WIN THE B10EAST UNTIL GETTING CRUSHED BY THE BUCKEYES. WAZZU WAS ALSO IN THE HUNT FOR A CONFERENCE DIV. TITLE UNTIL SLIPPING ON A BANANA PEEL. TOUGH PICK, AS THEY SEEM PRETTY EVENLY MATCHED.
WAZZU

BELK BOWL - CHARLOTTE
(7-5) TEXAS A&M VS (7-5) WAKE FOREST -3
TEXAS A&M HAD TROUBLE WITH QUALITY TEAMS, BEATING JUST ONE ALL SEASON WITH A WINNING RECORD. WAKE FOREST HAD A PRETTY GOOD SEASON GOING, BUT RAN OUT OF GAS LATE LOSING 3 OF THEIR LAST 5. BUT WF’S OFFENSE CAN BE POTENT, SO UNLESS A&M’S D CAN SLOW THEM DOWN, THEY COULD FIND THEMSELVES DOWN FAST. LUCKILY FOR THEM, THE DDEACONS DEFENSE IS AWFUL, SO A COMEBACK SHOULDN’T BE A SURPRISE EITHER. I THINK THE WF O IS ENOUGH BETTER THAN THE WF D IS BAD TO BE THE DIFFERENCE.
WAKE FOREST
SUN BOWL – EL PASO
#24 (8-4) NORTH CAROLINA STATE VS (7-5) ARIZONA STATE +6.5
NCSTATE LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING GOOD EARLY, BEATING FSU AND LOUISVILLE. THEN WE FOUND OUT WHAT THAT REALLY MEANT. STILL, THEY ARE A SOLID FOOTBALL TEAM. THEY PLAY AN ARIZONA STATE TEAM THAT WAS IN THE HUNT FOR THE P12 SOUTH EVEN AFTER BEING CRUSHED BY USC, BUT THEN LOST TO UCLA TO BLOW UP THE SEASON. THE DEVIL OFFENSE FINISHED THE YEAR STRONG, AVERAGING 40 POINTS IN THEIR LAST4 GAMES WHILE NCSTATE HAS ONLY SCORED 40 OR MORE ONCE ALL SEASON, AGAINST FURMAN. WHILE THE NCST D AIN’T BAD, THERE IS TOO MUCH SUNDEVIL O FOR NCST TO KEEP UP.
SUNDEVILS
MUSIC CITY BOWL - NASHVILLE
(7-5) KENTUCKY VS #21 (9-3) NORTHWESTERN -7.5
NOT SURE WHY THIS LINE IS SO LOW. KENTUCKY IS 89TH IN TOTAL D, PLAYING A NORTHWESTERN TEAM THAT STUMBLED OUT OF THE GATE BUT HAS WON THEIR LAST 7 IN A ROW AND PLAYED STOUT D IN THE PROCESS.
NORTHWESTERN
ARIZONA BOWL - TUCSON
(6-6) UTAH STATE VS (6-6) NEW MEXICO STATE +4
NEITHER TEAM DID MUCH OF ANYTHING AS THEIR RECORDS INDICATE. NMSt COULDN’T MANAGE TO WIN TWO GAMES IN A ROW. UTAH ST DID IT ONCE. BUT THAT JUST MAKES THIS A TOUGH PICK. ON PAPER, NEWMEXSt HAS THE BETTER OFFENSE AND DEFENSE AND THEY GET 4.
NEW MEXICO STATE
COTTON BOWL - ARLINGTON
#8 (11-2) USC VS #5 (11-2) OHIO STATE -7.5
TWO TEAMS THAT WERE CLOSE TO BOTH MAKING THE FINAL FOUR. BOTH HAVE ONE TOUGH LOSS AND ONE BLOWOUT, EMBARASSMENT LOSS. USC HAS LOST A LOT OF DEPTH TO INJURY THROUGH THE SEASON ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL, AND ARE STILL DINGED UP. OHIO STATE COMES IN RELATIVELY HEALTHY. THE USC RUNNING GAME HAS IMPROVED, WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE OFFENSE TO PLAY BETTER, BUT THEY WERE INCONSISTENT ALL SEASON. HOWEVER IT IS THEIR D SECONDARY THAT HAS BEEN THE PICTURE YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOOK UP “INCONSISTENT” IN THE DICTIONARY.
OHIO ST. WHILE BLOWING THEIR FINAL FOUR CHANCES, HAS BEEN MORE CONSISTENT, AND WITH THE TROJAN INJURIES, HAS MORE QUALITY DEPTH THAT WILL WEAR DOWN THE TROJANS LATE, SO UNLESS THE TROJANS PUT SOME POINTS UP EARLY, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HOLD ON.
USC WINS BY 30.
