Big Day for Bowls....

Big Bowl Day, first of BCS Bowls

Monday sees the first of the BCS games along with several other interesting games in a busy day for NCAA football. The action kicks off at noon (3am Tuesday morning Aussie time) with the Ticketcity Bowl.

Houston (19) vs. Penn State (22)

The Cougars lost out in their conference championship game to Southern Mississippi, knocking them out of a possible BCS bowl. The Penn State saga is well known at this stage so we will leave it at that.

On the filed look for Houston to pull out all stops against their Big Ten foes, in the end I feel the Cougars will pull out a hard earned win.

Houston 30-24

Ohio State vs. Florida

This one pits two of the season’s underachievers who are both looking to next season though there are NCAA sanctions hanging over the Buckeyes.

This one will be a tossup but I will go with the home state team.

Florida 27-22

Outback Bowl

Michigan State (17) vs. Georgia (16)

Michigan State 28-23

Nebraska (20) vs. South Carolina (9)

Nebraska goes to its first bowl from the Big Ten to face South Carolina in Florida. The Gamecocks used a tough defense to get to the ten win mark this season while Nebraska found the new conference to be not as welcoming as they would have liked.

Look for Couth Carolina to complete their first eleven win season!!

South Carolina 30-17

Rose Bowl (BCS)

Wisconsin (10) vs. Oregon (5)

Wisconsin was my preseason pick to win it all but they slipped along the way and will face the explosive Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl.

It could be a high scoring affair but in the end, the Wisconsin ground game will get them the victory in Pasadena this year.

Wisconsin 38-28

Fiesta Bowl (BCS)

Stanford (4) vs. Oklahoma State (3)

Another one that could have easily been for the championship on preseason predictions but both teams had hiccups along the way.

Andrew Luck will be looking to close out his career on a high note but Oklahoma State still has a bit of a chip on their shoulder so they may be hungrier.

Do not be at all surprised if this one goes down to the last possession.

Oklahoma State 40-38

Enjoy the games…back with more tomorrow!!!
