Let’s Go Bowling!!

The NCAA football bowl season kicks off from Saturday with three games opening the curtain on several games over the next three weeks. There are also lower division championships and semi-final games on tap.

Last week I had a 4-0 record in the limited schedule taking me to 173-97 for the season.

Here we go for the Saturday ahead:

FCS Semi-Final #1

Montana @ Sam Houston State

Montana seems to always be there this time of year and will travel to undefeated Sam Houston State looking to advance to the championship game. I just don’t think they will get there this year. Sam Houston will go 2-0 against Montana teams for the playoffs this year.

Sam Houston State 31-22

FCS Semi-Final #2

Georgia Southern @ North Dakota State

Georgia Southern is also a team that seems to always be on the verge of playing for the FCS title. This year they are on the road for a semi-final match up with North Dakota State. I will still go with the visitors to advance.

Ga Southern 27-24

Division II Championship

Wayne State (MI) vs. Pittsburgh State

Pittsburgh State looks to be the stronger of the two in this one so that is who I will go with.

Pittsburgh State 30-17

Division III Championship

Mount Union vs. Wisconsin Whitewater

Both teams have been here before and both come in undefeated. I will give the nod to Mount Union again.

Mount Union 35-31

Gildan New Mexico Bowl (http://www.gildannewmexicobowl.com/)

Temple vs. Wyoming

Not much info on either of these teams but I did see Temple a couple of times during the season and they gave Penn State fits so I will go with the Owls.

Temple 37-27

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (http://www.famousidahopotatobowl.com/)

Ohio vs. Utah State

Utah State had close calls against some biggies this season and Ohio is a very exciting team. I will take Utah State in one that could go down to the wire.

Utah State 43-38

R+L Carries New Orleans Bowl (http://www.neworleansbowl.org/)

San Diego State vs. Louisiana Lafayette

LA-Lafayette will have a home state advantage but SD State looks to be the stronger team in this one.

SD State 40-34

That will do it for this weekend’s action, back with more in a few days as bowl games continue.
