  • Sugar Bowl – Louisville vs Florida Predictions

    Sugar Bowl – Louisville vs Florida Predictions

    Sometimes, when big teams don’t get where they think they should be, they tend to take it easier in the “lesser” bowl game. Florida, with only one loss this season thought they deserve a shot at the national title. Louisville, coming out of the crumbling Big East, are just happy they’re keeping their head coach.

  • Florida State Seminoles – EJ Manuel & Lonnie Pryor Enjoy Final Game

    Florida State Seminoles – EJ Manuel & Lonnie Pryor Enjoy Final Game

    For about a half, maybe even more, the Northern Illinois Huskies, the team many people, including some working for the Orange Bowl, said shouldn’t even be in the BCS Bowl, stayed in the game. But two turnovers ruined their hopes, while EJ Manuel and Lonnie Pryor had a proper send off to their College Football career.

  • Stanford Cardinal – Old School Football Wins Rose Bowl

    Stanford Cardinal – Old School Football Wins Rose Bowl

    Sometimes, quarterbacks are just decorative attachments to games. Kevin Hogan only needed to keep his turnovers at 0. The rest was up to the Stanford defense and running attack, led by Stepfan Taylor, on their way to winning the Rose Bowl for the first time in 40 years.

    There’s been plenty of talk this season about whether Aaron Murray is a good enough quarterback to get Georgia to where they want to be, which is among the nation’s elite.

  • Orange Bowl – Northern Illinois vs Florida State Predictions

    Orange Bowl – Northern Illinois vs Florida State Predictions

    They call them BCS busters, but Northern Illinois still doesn’t feel to welcomed by the national media to the Orange Bowl after a remarkable season in the MAC.

  • Rose Bowl – Wisconsin vs Stanford Predictions

    Rose Bowl – Wisconsin vs Stanford Predictions

    For the third consecutive season, Wisconsin make it into the Rose Bowl. This time, with a temporary head coach on the sidelines who has won it three times in the past, maybe it’ll workout. Stanford go into the game as the Pac-12 champions, a huge November backing them up and one of the best defenses in the nation.

  • Capital One Bowl – Georgia vs Nebraska Predictions

    Capital One Bowl – Georgia vs Nebraska Predictions

    The game of the conference championship losers, in other words. Georgia had a great season, but two losses in the SEC is too much to overcome if you want a BCS Bowl to end your season. Nebraska? Despite a 10-win season, they were humiliated in the Big Ten championship game, and it’ll be interesting to see how much from that carries over.
