Thursday's Bowls...


Yes, more Bowl Games on Thursday!!

Two more 2011-2012 NCAA bowl games will be decided Thursday when we have the Alamo Bowl and the Champs Sports Bowl take centre stage for the day.

Champs Sports Bowl

Florida State vs. Notre Dame

According to preseason rankings, this one was destined to be on the high end of the BCS Bowl list. But, the season had to be played on the field and neither of these two lived up to the hype.

In South Bend, the Irish started off the season with a shock home loss to South Florida followed by a loss to Michigan before getting in two four game winning streaks that were broken by losses PAC 12 teams USC and Stanford.

Florida State suffered an early three game losing streak before rattling off five wins in a row and splitting their final two games. The Seminoles feature a defense that was in the national Top 5 in points allowed.

Florida State should be able to pull off the home state win in this one as their defense is strong enough to get them home.

Florida State 26-14

Alamo Bowl

Washington vs. Baylor (12)

Washington suffered a few blowout losses this season and could be in for another one when they travel to Texas to meet Baylor and Heisman winner Robert Griffin III.

Baylor features a high octane offense and their “D” should be able to hold fort against the Huskies. RG III will entertain fans in what could be his farewell game.

Baylor should win this one comfortably.

Baylor 44-20


Back with picks for Friday's games tomorrow....
