Gator Bowl Pick: Mississippi State vs Northwestern
This game might not get as much attention as most other games, but it has the potential to be one of the tightest games of the day. Mississippi State and Northwestern are two teams that have some weaknesses, but they both play fundamentally sound football. Let’s take a closer look at this interesting under the radar matchup.
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl Pick: TCU vs. Michigan State
A lot of this year’s bowl games are expected to be high scoring affairs, but TCU and Michigan are both built around their defense. Michigan State was expected to contend for a Big Ten title, but the Spartans finished just 6-6 in the regular season. TCU went 7-5 after joining the Big 12 in the offseason. Let’s take a look at this matchup.
Oklahoma Sooners vs. TCU Horned Frogs Pick
After a slightly disappointing 5-2 start to the season, Oklahoma has won four straight to get to 9-2 on the year. The Sooners came from behind to beat Oklahoma State in the Bedlam rivalry last weekend. TCU upset Texas in a key rivalry game last week as well. The Horned Frogs are looking to end their first season in the Big 12 with an upset win at home.
Florida Gators vs. Florida State Seminoles Pick
There is always tons of passion when these two teams meet, but there will be even more on the line this week when the Gators battle the Seminoles. Florida is back in the national title picture after last weekend’s upsets at the top of the rankings. Florida State doesn’t seem to have a chance for the title, but they are 10-1 and looking to finish off a terrific regular season. Can the Seminoles spoil the Gators hopes at playing for a national title?
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Georgia Bulldogs Pick
Rivalry week in college football is here, and the big rivalry in the state of Georgia is between the Bulldogs and the Yellow Jackets. No one could have expected it a couple weeks ago, but the Georgia Bulldogs are right in the thick of the BCS title chase now, and they can’t afford a slip up here. The Yellow Jackets would love nothing more than to ruin their chance at the title.
LSU Tigers vs. Arkansas Razorbacks Pick
Before the season, many expected this to be a game that would play a role in deciding the national champion. As it turns out, Arkansas has completely fallen apart this year, and LSU lost to both Florida and Alabama in SEC play. The game doesn’t mean as much nationally, but these teams still hate each other and you can expect both teams to fight very hard for a victory.
USC Trojans vs. UCLA Bruins Pick
The USC Trojans beat UCLA by a score of 50-0 last season. That ridiculous beat down in this rivalry game may have been the last straw that sent Rick Neuheisel packing. Jim Mora Jr. is the new coach at UCLA, and he has instantly turned this team around in a big way. USC was the top ranked team in the nation going into the year, but they have had a disappointing year. No one is expecting a lopsided game this time around. USC is a four-point favorite heading into this big game.
Oregon State vs. Stanford Pick
Oregon State has been one of the biggest surprises of the season thus far. The Beavers are 7-1 and ranked 11th in the nation. Mike Riley’s team will have a tough test this weekend as they travel to take on the Stanford Cardinal. Stanford is 5-0 at home this year, and the Cardinal are ranked 14th in the country.
Arkansas vs South Carolina Pick
Arkansas expected to be in the national title picture this year, but everything went wrong in the offseason and that has continued right through the season. John L. Smith has become one of the least popular men in Arkansas, and the team is now 4-5. South Carolina has fallen on some hard times of late, but they are still 7-2 and ranked eighth in the nation. Steve Spurrier’s team looks to pick up another win this Saturday.
Texas vs Texas Tech Pick
It’s a battle of the state of Texas Saturday afternoon in Lubbock as the Longhorns take on the Red Raiders. Both teams have improved quite a bit in the past couple years, and they come in with an identical 6-2 record. Texas snuck out of Kansas with a win last week, while the Red Raiders were blasted by Kansas State in Manhattan. The Red Raiders are favored by more than a touchdown here.
