College Bowls II

The Pacific Holiday Bowl in San Diego: Oregon matches up with Oklahoma State. This could be a good one. If the Big Twelve is as good as they think they are they need this one. I'll take OK State 39-28.

The Bell Helicopter Arms Forces Bowl Forth worth Texas: I guess this is the Bowl game made for Air Force as Houston takes on the Flyers. I'm going to take the Cougars of Houston but this is not a sure bet. I'm hedging on this one even as I sit here now.

The Brut Sun Bowl In El Paso: Seems to me Coppertone would be a better sponsor for the Sun Bowl. Oregon State against Pittsburgh. I like Pitt 27-24

The Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl in Nashville: Vanderbilt against Boston College. If Duke can beat Vandy then I think BC can too. 31-17.

The Insight Bowl Tempe Arizona: What in the world is the Insight Bowl. Kansas pitted against Minnesota. How ironic that this is named the Insight since once again this is a NFL Network no sight game. KU in a romp 38-17

The Chic-Fil-A Atlanta Georgia. LSU against Georgia Tech. Southeastern Conference takes this one on the chin . The Rambling Wreck 34 LSU 24.

The Outback Bowl in Orlando. Iowa against South Carolina. Something tells me to Pick Spurrier in this one so I will. Carolina 26- Iowa 20

The Konica Minolta Bowl Jacksonville: Clemson takes on Nebraska. this is a game between two schools that are just a like. they think they are a whole lot better than they are. I hate to keep picking the Big Twelve but it's the big Red 31-28 over the Tigers.

The Capitol One Bowl Orlando: Michigan State takes on Georgia. This is a great match up. Georgia the preseason #1 going up against an always almost good Spartans. Michigan State 27-The Dawgs 24.

The AT&T Cotton Bowl in Dallas: How in the world did Texas Tech 11-1 almost in the National Championship game get stuck with Mississippi at 8-4. This could be a good one but I don't think Old Miss can put fifty on the board which it will probably take to win this one. Tech 49- The Rebels 35

The Auto Zone Liberty Bowl Memphis Tennessee: ECU Pirates going up against Kentucky. I think the Wildcats will win but I'm pulling for the Pirates. ECU 31 Kentucky 28 ARRRG.

The International Bowl Toronto Canada: There are so many bowls games they were afraid to put a third one in Orlando so since they were out of United States cities to host one let's try Toronto. Buffalo meets big East Connecticut. May be a foot of snow on the ground. This will be Turner Gill's opportunity to show America he was worthy of the Auburn. U Conn 35- Buffalo 24

The GMAC Bowl Mobile Ala. Why don't they take this one and merge it with the Motor City Bowl in Detroit. They could call it the GMAC Motor City Bowl! Tulsa goes against Ball State. It's hard to go against a school that doesn't hide the fact that all they are interested in is sports. Ball State. Tulsa losing at home to ECU in the Conference USA title game is enough for me. Ball State 42- Tulsa 35

And Now Finally the real Bowl Games:

Rose Bowl By Citi in Pasadena : This is a home game for Southern Cal against Penn State. I just don't think the State University of Pennslyvania can hang. Southern Cal 42 PSU 28

Fedex Orange Bowl in Miami: Virginia Tech who can't score unless the defense does wrestles with Cincinnati. I think Tech defense will score one and a blocked punt Tech 27 Cincy 16.

The AllState Sugar Bowl in New Orleans: Utah against Alabama. This had potential to be a good one for a while BAMA 30-Utah 20.

The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Glenndale Arizona. Ohio State against Texas. All I got to say is poor THE OHIO STATE Texas is out to prove they are in the wrong bowl game Texas 48 Ohio St 21.

The FedEX BCS National Championship Game Miami: Florida Gators vs Oklahoma Sooners. My heart says Gators but I think Oklahoma has to win to prove they were the right pick in the Big Twelve Championship game. The covered wagons 42 the stylist pocketbooks 38.

Over the last two days I have given you my picks. I will keep a running count as they play.
