ROSE BOWL: Wisconsin vs. TCU is official, but of course we knew that. The Rose was taking the Pac-10 and Big Ten champs, and if they lost one of them to the national title game (Oregon), the Rose had to take the non-AQ team.
Both teams average 43 points per game, but I can see Wisky wearing down the Horned Frogs a bit. I like the Badgers, 31-24
SUGAR BOWL: Ohio State vs. Arkansas. Again, not surprising, we knew this was going to happen. Yeah, yeah, I know QB Coach/OC Garrick McGee has done a great job with Ryan Mallett, but I’m not exactly sold him. I can see the Buckeyes shutting him down when it matters. I like the Buckeyes, 24-20.
ORANGE BOWL: Well, dilemma solved. Stanford vs. Virginia Tech. Orange Bowl officials went with the best matchup rather than inviting the more geographically placed team in UConn. I like Stanford in this game, 35-31.
FIESTA BOWL: So that means it’s Oklahoma vs. UConn. Good luck getting any kind of TV rating in this one. Oklahoma, 51-17.
