Okay guys, I'm going to keep this short and sweet. So far 0-1. Its time to dominate.
Champs Sports Bowl
Boston College (-5) vs. Mich State
Outlook:
Matt Ryan is my mortal enemy. I'm really opposed to him being drafted as high as he's going to be, because i cant get past Brian St. Pierre, and Ryan stinks like Andrew Walter. Its all good, some team will draft him in the top ten and will be rewarded with 3-5 seasons of 6-10 to 8-8 records. More power to them. BC accidently beat VT and Clemson this year, and took a hard ten point loss to the Seminoles. I dont think Michigan state is near the team of any of those, but i still see them hanging..
Michigan State has made me cry at the end of too many Novembers in beating the Lions. This year was no diferent. Problem with MSU has been inconsistency. Another problem? They're linebacker core didnt make the trip. Way to work your tail off all year, make your first bowl in 4 years, and not be able to play in the game. Take a bow, Sparty Linebackers!
In a game i hope is cancelled by darkness, i see it being close with "Matty Ice" getting it done late and bolstering his already steady but undeserved draft hype.
Prediction:
Take the under. I'll take MSU with the points.
BC 24-21
Texas Bowl
TCU (-6.5) vs. Houston
Outlook:
Should be called the Irony Bowl being that both teams hail from Texas. This is basically a homegame for the Cougars, even though I wouldnt think TCU would be short on fans anyway.
TCU was billed as a potential BCS buster (nice one, Mark May). Because of that they cost me way too much money.. Uh, Anger.. Too much anger.
Even though the poor performance against Air Force was somewhat justified by the way AFA finished the season, and they were simply outmanned against Texas, I'm still bitter.
Prediction:
Warren Moon and the Oilers in a shocker.
Houston (+6.5) 41-40
Emerald Bowl
Oregon State (-5) vs. Maryland
Outlook:
Oregon State has a gem in Bernard. Moevao is expected to start. I really love Pac 10 football.
Those three very gramatically correct and matter of fact statements aside, Maryland has played extremely tough this year (minus WVU), and should continue to do so. Terps coach Ralph Heartattack wont have any potential life threatneing Buzzer Beater to worry about though.
Even though they would lose in a Knife Fight, Beavers will always beat Turtles in dam building contests and football games.
Prediction:
I'll give the points.
Oregon State 30-23
