OSU Vs. LSU For The National Championship *UPDATED Bowl Coverage*
I actually wanted to see Oklahoma as the opponent. That would've been some real smash-mouth football.
I hope the other Big 10 teams in bowls make the Big 10 proud. Especially those playing SEC teams. I am so sick of those SEC morons talking about speed. The Big 10 can't be too slow because an awful lot of them go on to play in the NFL. Last year, 2 out 3 Big 10 teams beat SEC teams.
Here's a round up of Big 10 bowl games.
Illinois vs USC in the Rose Bowl
Honestly; I think the only way Illinois can win this is if they win a shootout. USC has a tough defense, Illinois defense...not so good. Illinois offense is really good, USC offense is ok.
Prediction: Illinois 27 USC 24
Final: USC 49 - Illinois 17
Michigan State vs Boston College in the Champ Sports Bowl
Eh, depends on which Michigan State team shows up.
Prediction: Even
Final: BC 24 - MSU 21
Purdue vs Central Michigan in the Motor City Bowl
Lets skip to the prediction
Prediction: Purdue 42 CMU 17
Final: Purdue 51 - CMU 48
Penn State vs Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl
I think this has the makings of a great game
Prediction: Penn State 24 Texas A&M 17
Final: Penn State 24 - Texas A&M 17 (WOW! I can't believe I called that)
Indiana vs Oklahoma State in the Insight Bowl
I can say that I don't care
Prediction: Indiana by 1
Final: Okla St. 49 - Indiana 33
Wisconsin vs Tennessee in the Outback Bowl
I will make it a point to watch this game. It should be good.
Prediction: Wisconsin 17 Tennessee 14
Final: Tenn 21 - Wisc 17
That State Up North (TSUN) vs Florida in the Capitol One Bowl
I hope TSUN shows up to play. All too often they are depressed about to losing to Ohio State again and play horrible in bowl games.
Prediction: If TSUN shows up, TSUN 37 Florida 24
Final: TSUN 41 - Florida 35
(This game should've been a blowout. Mike Hart from TSUN fumbled the ball twice on the goal-line after going almost 1000 carries without a fumble.)
Other games I will be watching:
Missouri vs Arkansas (Cotton Bowl) F: MIZZOU 38 - Ark 7
Hawaii vs Georgia (Sugar Bowl) F: Georgia 41 - Hawaii 10
(Real classy Georgia...going for it on 4th and goal while winning 41-10 with 9:00 left in the game)
Oklahoma vs West Virginia (Fiesta Bowl) F: WV 48 - Okla 28
Oklahoma was sloppy the whole game. They had something like 15 penalties and lots of blown coverage.
Virginia Tech vs Kansas (Orange Bowl) F: Kansas 24 - VT 21
