Quick bowl prediction run through...at super light speed:
Aloha Bowl - Boise State vs. East Carolina
Easy pick. Boise State's offense and defense put up impressive numbers and have a much better record. Also, Boise State has already traveled to the islands to play a game and will know what to expect in terms of playing in that weather. East Carolina is very unimpressive on paper. Boise State will roll Bronco roll. Boise State wins, 34-10
Motor City Bowl - Purdue vs. CMU
Purdue beat CMU earlier in the season 45-22. That's enough for me. I know CMU is a lot better now that the season has progressed but Purdue over matches when it comes to talent. I don't care if it is hard to beat a team twice, and Purdue will win with a slightly smaller margin than earlier this year. Purdue wins, 31-27
Champ Sports Bowl - Boston College vs. Michigan State
Matt Ryan has put up impressive numbers all year. Virginia Tech's and Florida State's defenses were the only ones to really slow down Matt Ryan and the BC offense (I'm ignoring the Maryland game given the hangover from the FSU loss) Michigan State's defense is anything but great and BC will roll. BC is also really good against the run. Michigan State will be forced to pass and we all know how that will probably end up. Good luck Hoyer, you scrub. Boston College rolls, 28-14
Liberty Bowl - UCF vs. Mississippi State
This is a tough call. Mississippi State surprised us this year by actually making a bowl. MSU's Croon has got to be a pretty decent coach to get a team like MSU to a bowl game so I'm going to assume MSU will come prepared. However, UCF has Kevin Smith. I'm going to go with my gut which tells me Mississippi State will continue to show up for big games as they have done all year (check all those upsets), play good defense, and win this game by a score. Mississippi State wins, 20-13
Alamo Bowl - Penn State vs. Texas A&M
I have to go with Penn State on this one, not just because PSU is the only Big Ten team I believe may win their bowl game. TAMU just fired Dennis Francione and it's no telling that TAMU players may not be as well prepared as they should be. PSU's linebackers are pretty good and will do a nice job shutting down the TAMU running game. Hopefully, Anthony Morelli doesn't forget to tie his shoes or anything and remembers how the play football. Penn State wins, 27-26
Independence Bowl - Alabama vs. Colorado
Go Buffs go!!! Maybe this is me simply hoping Saban loses another game after an embarrassing season. (see losses to Mississippi State and La-Monroe) 4 million bucks this year got Alabama a bid to this extremely exciting bowl game to play a team that lost to Montana State the year before. Anyway, Colorado's offense can be explosive and their defense has come up big in a couple big games this year. Colorado wins, 41-26
Sun Bowl - South Florida vs. Oregon
I think we all know that Oregon really shouldn't be in a bowl game without the likes of Dennis Dixon. This new "Dixon-less" Oregon team put up 0 points in a loss to UCLA (who lost to ND, come on) in a 3 game losing stretch to end the season. Not only is Dennis Dixon out, they can't even rely on the second stringer, Brady Leaf. If the 3rd stringer can't beat out Brady Leaf, you know he's a train wreck. South Florida stomps, 44-20

Robby, your confidence in Boise was sadly misplaced. I hope your prediction for BC doesn't work out the same way....
Yeah ECU came out of nowhere. They haven't had an offense all year and then they show up with one that can't be stopped. Hmmmm...I swallow my pride with that crudely mistaken prediction. BC will dominate because they have been GREAT against the run and Michigan State hasn't much else. I am still sticking by BC rollin'.
bc is gonna roll huh? 3 point victory? and a lucky one at that. nice one robby, go suckle on lloyd carr.
henne wouldnt start for state. he would be our water boy. actaully, st dic would get him to break into cars so he would get caught instead.
haha...i believe the score would've been much more lopsided if it wasn't for a matt ryan sack and fumble in the fourth quarter. Ryan's turnover was bad luck, while Hoyer's 4 interceptions were stupidity. Maybe next year he could stare somebody down, and then throw it somewhere else!!! That might work a little better. Luck my ass.
