Bowl Season!
List your picks.
As a (soon to be) alumnus of the University of Texas, I'm rooting for Texas and the Big12 to win all of their bowl games. Yes, that includes OU as painful as it is to admit.
I really hope UT blows out the University of Spoiled Children so that the media can stop their obsession with that team and region.
* who i think will win
Rooting for:
New Orleans Bowl
Southern Miss (6-5)

GMAC Bowl
UTEP* (8-3)

Motor City Bowl
Memphis (6-5)
vs. Akron (7-5)

MPC Computers Bowl
Boise State (9-3)

** Northwestern in an upset. UCLA has no D
Independence Bowl
South Carolina* (7-4)
vs. Missouri (6-5)
** Heart says MU but head picks USC. MU has yet to play to its potential
Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl
Miami (9-2)

Meineke Car Care Bowl
South Florida (6-5)

EV1.net Houston Bowl
TCU (10-1)

** Although the Big12 is weak, ISU is a bit more battle-tested
AT&T Cotton Bowl
Texas Tech* (9-2)
vs. Alabama (9-2)
** I like both programs, but my cousin is a grad student at TTU. Gotta go w/ family loyalties. Out of conference teams usually have a tough time handling TTU's offense.
Outback Bowl
Iowa (7-4)

Toyota Gator Bowl
Louisville* (9-2)

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Notre Dame (9-2)

** ND has only beaten something like 3 winning teams this yr and I hope they get exposed. As much as I hate the Pac10, Oregon deserved the BCS bid. I'd also like to hear the media excuses after they lose.
Nokia Sugar Bowl
West Virginia (10-1)
vs. Georgia* (10-2)
** Georgia wins big
FedEx Orange Bowl
Penn State (10-1)
vs. Florida State (8-4)

The Rose Bowl
USC (12-0)
vs. Texas* (12-0)
** I hope UT beats the living crap out of USC. The game will be won in the trenches by the lines.
