2007-2008 Bowl Game Predictions

It that time again folks, another season of College Football and another round of bowl games good or bad. Here are my predictions for each bowl game.

Poinsettia:Utah vs Navy
Prediction:Run vs Pass in this one, I'm not sure if Paul Johnson is coaching this game. If he is, however, I will go with Navy. If not then Utah.

New Orleans:Florida Atlantic vs Memphis
Prediction:FAU has a good defense and Howard Schnellenberger is a helluva coach. FAU wins give it 35-10.

Las Vegas:BYU vs UCLA
Prediction:These two faced off in Pasadena back in September with the Bruins winning 27-17. This will be a different story for BYU is improved and Dorrell is gone. BYU wins 28-24.

New Mexico:Nevada vs New Mexico
Prediction:Haven't seen New Mexico play but Nevada has a damn good offense. However, its a hoem game for the Lobos so I predict a close one. Nevada wins 38-30.

Papajohns.com:Cincinnati vs Southern Miss
Prediction:Classic CUSA match-up. This is Southern Miss coach Jeff Bower's last game. The Eagles should be ready as will Cincy. Close win for the Bearcats 31-20.

Hawaii:Boise State vs East Carolina
Prediction:Should be a nice high scoring affair between the two schools and coaches Chris Peterson and Skip Holtz who are both on the rise. Boise wins in a close one 27-23.

Motor City:Purdue vs Central Michigan
Prediction:Another rematch, wasn't close the first time but will be closer the second. Purdue wins 37-34.

Holiday:Arizona State vs Texas
Prediction:THE Must Watch game prior to New Years, both teams are good, real good. Dennis Erickson has done a fantastic job turning around the Sun Devils. Will be very close and a great game. Colt McCoy and the Longhorns win 31-27.

Emerald:Maryland vs Oregon State
Prediction:Out of the previous 3 bowl games, this will be the toughest for the Terps. Oregon State has the 2nd best rush defense in College Football. However, Friedgen is notorious for having his Terps ready for bowl games. Maryland wins in a low scoring affair, 17-13.

Champ Sports:Boston College vs Michigan State
Prediction:Ryan's last stand will be easy for BC. Eagles win 31-14.

Texas:TCU vs Houston
Prediction:Art Briles won't be coaching but its a home game for the Cougars. TCU wins 41-38.

Alamo:Penn State vs Texas A&M
Prediction:I don't think Franchione is coaching it won't matter anyway. PSU wins 24-14.

Liberty:Central Florida vs Mississippi State
Prediction:Kevin Smith WILL have a big day. He is simply phenominal and MSU has a bad rush defense. I say Central Florida wins 34-27.

Meineke Car Care:Wake Forest vs UCONN
Prediction:Wake STiLL has a good defense, so does UCONN, I think at least. Wake wins 17-10.

Independence:Alabama vs Colorado
Prediction:Nick Saban will be pissed off coming into this game following the criticism from the LA-Monroe game. I say Tide rolls Buffs 24-20 should be a good game.

Insight:Oklahoma State vs Indiana
Prediction:IU has a good offense as does Ok. State. I think IU will come out playing well but will lose 34-30.

Peach:Auburn vs Clemson
Prediction:Tigers win...(Auburn btw)

Music City:Florida State vs Kentucky
Prediction:Andre Woodson is way better than Drew Weatherford or Xavier Lee. I initially thought FSU but I'm going with Kentucky in a close one 27-24.

Humanitarian:Fresno State vs Georgia Tech
Prediction:Tech has no coach and a lot of worries. The Dogs win 17-3.

Sun:USF vs Oregon
Prediction:Oregon is running the spread offense with a pocket passer against a team that shut down WVU. Bulls win 34-7.

Armed Forces:Air Force vs Cal
Prediction:What happened to Cal? From 2 to playing in the lowest Pac 10 bowl. Air Force wins close 21-17.

Capitol One:Florida vs Michigan
Prediction:Yes its Lloyd Carr's last game, yes its Hart, Henne, and Long's last chance to win a bowl. Yes Florida is faster. Florida wins 41-14.

Gator:Virginia vs Texas Tech
Prediction:Virginia lost to NC State and Wyoming, but I still like their defense but they really struggle against the pass and thats all Texas Tech does. Red Raiders roll 34-27.

Cotton:Missouri vs Arkansas
Prediction:Mizzou is PISSED to no end D-Mac should have a big day and it should be close. I think Arkansas will win in a shootout 38-34.

Outback:Tennessee vs Wisconsin
Prediction:Both teams have been shaky but I think the Vols will get their first win against the Big Ten in 5 years they win 16-13 in a low scoring game.

International:Rutgers vs Ball State
Prediction:Ugh...I really don't know I hear Ball State has a good offense and Rutgers has Ray Rice so I guess Rutgers wins 31-24.

GMAC:Bowling Green vs Tulsa
Prediction:Tulsa somehow

Sugar:Georgia vs Hawaii
Prediction:Georgia has a great offense but a shaky defense. Hawaii's defense played well in the last three quarters against Washington. I think it will be close with Hawaii winning 45-42.

Rose:USC vs Illinois
Prediction:How did the Illini even get considered for the Rose Bowl? USC wins big 45-14.

Fiesta:Oklahoma vs West Virginia
Prediction:The best run defense in the country vs the best run offense in the country. This will be a low scoring game because I think OU is just as fast if not faster than WVU. OU wins 14-10.

Orange:Va.Tech vs Kansas
Prediction:Kansas played a weak schedule and Va.Tech is on fire. Hokies win 38-10.

BCS National Championship:Ohio State vs LSU
Prediction:Remember last year? Well expect a closer game. LSU wins 23-20.
