Damn, the college bowl games really snuck up on me this year. It was just the other day that teams were deciding whether or not they would play in a bowl game. Since the games are already started and I do not have time to do my normal amount of research/analysis, this year I am just going to pick the winner.
R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl: Georgia Southern
Mongomery Bowl: Memphis
New Mexico Bowl: Hawaii
Camellia Bowl: Buffalo
LendingTree Bowl: Georgia State
First Responder Bowl: University of Louisiana-Lafayette
Cure Bowl: Coastal Carolina–It is complete bullshit that Coastal Carolina is in this bowl and now a higher game. I hate the disrespect shown to the G5 conferences. Coastal should be playing someone like Indiana or Northwestern. If they get destroyed, then it proves they do not belong. If they win, then we know that they were legit. What does a game against Liberty mean for anyone?
Cheez-It Bowl: Miami
Alamo Bowl: Texas–I am taking Texas, but I would love to see Colorado beat them.
Mayo Bowl: Wisconsin
Music City Bowl: Iowa
Cotton Bowl: Florida–this is a tough one. I think the Gators should win this one in a shootout, but who knows with the Sooners. They could end up destroying Florida.
Armed Forces Bowl: Tulsa
Arizona Bowl: San Jose State
Liberty Bowl: Army
Texas Bowl: TCU
Peach Bowl: Georgia–I really want to take the Bearcats here, but I am hedging my bet. I would love it if Cincinnati absolutely destroyed Georgia here.
Citrus Bowl: Northwestern
Gator Bowl: North Carolina State
Outback Bowl: Indiana (seriously, why is BYU playing against UCF right now? Indiana would have been a good game for them).
Fiesta Bowl: Oregon–I think Iowa State is overrated.
Orange Bowl: Texas A&M–I wish A&M was playing a Big Ten team, but it would be great if UNC crushed them.
College Football Playoff
Rose Bowl: (1) Alabama vs (4) Notre Dame–I think Alabama beats the Irish easily. Maybe 35-10.
Sugar Bowl: (2) Clemson vs (3) Ohio State–Clemson is ridiculously good and I think they have no problem with the Buckeyes.
Championship: Alabama over Clemson–cool, they play each other again. Will this ever end?
My dream scenario is that Ohio State wins the entire thing. When it is over, I hope Ryan Day tells Dabo, Texas A&M, and all the other people screaming how it is ridiculous they are in it to suck it. I do not know if Ohio State deserves to be in it. But they are, so I hope they make the most of it and give the Big Ten something to brag about.
