Packing Bowls: Part 2

The better half of bowls....

Chick-Fil-A Bowl-Auburn v. Clemson
There's going to be a lot of orange on the field in Atlanta, as well as some bad quarterbacking. I can't imagine Clemson being any better than "crap," so I'll go with the Runnin' Tubervilles. Pick: Auburn

Music City Bowl-Kentucky v. Florida State
Since this will be a game pitting my favorite team against 35 or 40 second-stringers, it seems pretty easy. And it will be. Pick: Cay-uts

Humanitarian Bowl-Georgia Tech v. Fresno State
This will be a close game; unfortunately, no one cares about it. The blue turf bit is old as well. Pick: Georgia Tech

Sun Bowl-Oregon v. South Florida
Once thought of as two national championship teams, both Oregon and South Florida sputtered at the end of the season. Oregon because their star QB got hurt, South Florida because they sucked. I don't know if Dixon will be back, but it doesn't matter. Pick: Oregon

Armed Forces Bowl-California v. Air Force
I thought this was always a high school game, but whatever. I'm assuming Desean Jackson will do some things against Air Force. Who knows, maybe he won't. But he will. Pick: Cal

Capital One Bowl-Michigan v. Florida
I love Tim Tebow. I'm not sure if I've made that clear. I think he'll go absolutely wild against Michigan. Plus, they don't have a coach. Pick: Florida

Gator Bowl-Virginia v. Texas Tech
Texas Tech will probably score like 200 points; UVA won't be able to keep up. Question: how the hell did these two teams get to a New Year's Day bowl? Pick: Texas Tech

Cotton Bowl-Arkansas v. Missouri
This is a tough one in my mind. On the one hand, there is a team that is BCS-worthy and boast a Heisman contender. On the other hand, there is a team with an awful QB and no coach. I guess it's not that tough. McFadden and Jones can only do so much; they'll get blasted. Pick: Missouri

Outback Bowl-Wisconsin v. Tennessee
Tyler Donovan and Erik Ainge will be mired in the battle of two guys that get way too much press, while Arian Foster lights up Wisconsin's shitty D. This one will be hard to watch, as all games involving Big Ten teams are. Pick: Tennessee

International Bowl-Rutgers v. Ball State
You know you're watching a a horrible bowl when you can hear all the scrubs on the sideline yell "PAAAAASSSS" when the opposing QB fades back. An alarm goes off in your head, and you're like, 'what the hell am I doing?" This is one of those games. Pick: Rutgers

GMAC Bowl-Bowling Green v. Tulsa
PAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS. Pick: Tulsa

Sugar Bowl-Hawaii v. Georgia
I truly don't think Colt Brennan and Hawaii will keep this one close. Georgia will shut their offense down fairly well, and the UGA offense will move the ball easily (despite having Matt Stafford). Pick: Georgia

Rose Bowl-USC v. Illinois
I don't think this game will be close either. Juice Williams and their running back with a long last name are very good, but probably not strong enough on D to stop all of USC's weapons. Pick: USC

Fiesta Bowl-Oklahoma v. West Virginia
In my opinion, Oklahoma is the best team in the country. Sam Bradford is for real, and Pat White is not. The love affair surrounding White was very, very annoying. He can't pass at all. Pick: Oklahoma

Orange Bowl-Kansas v. Virginia Tech
Really? Virginia Tech is bad, but Kansas is worse. This should be Missouri, not Kansas. Pick: Virginia Tech

BCS Title-LSU v. Ohio State
For the second straight year, Ohio State is in the title game. For the second straight year, they will get pasted by an SEC team. LSU has shown flashes of being extremely vulnerable, but a healthy Early Doucet will make all the difference. However, they'll have to overcome NFL prospect Todd Boeckman. Read that without laughing. Pick: LSU

That's it! It's over! Bowls start tomorrow, so that will be a good thing to get my mind off of our basketball team.
