1. Outback Bowl - Iowa vs. Florida
2. Gator Bowl - Maryland vs. West Virginia
3. Capital One Bowl - Georgia vs. Purdue
4. Rose Bowl - Michigan vs. USC
5. Orange Bowl - Miami vs. Florida State
6. Cotton Bowl - Oklahoma State vs. Mississippi
7. Peach Bowl - Tennessee vs. Clemson
8. Fiesta Bowl - Kansas State vs. Ohio State
9. Humanitarian Bowl - Georgia Tech vs. Tulsa
10. Sugar Bowl - Oklahoma vs. LSU

My picks are:

1. Iowa
2. WVU---I'm not that big a supporter of WVU, being a Marshall grad myself, but I taught two of their starters when they were in junior high, so I'm hoping the best for them.
3. Georgia
4. USC
5. Miami---Don't like 'em, but they always seem to be able to pull out a win, even when they don't deserve one.
6. Oklahoma State
7. Clemson
8. Ohio State
9. Tulsa
10. Oklahoma

BCS bowls:

Florida St over Miami. Florida St is playing better then Miami, plus its hard to beat a good team twice in a season.

USC over Michigan. This game could be an offensive shootout, but more likely each team will score 20-30 points. The teams have lost a total of 3 games by a total of 10 points. It will be close, and in close games (on grass) I like USC's punting and field goal kicking.

Ohio State over Kansas St. Ohio State's rushing defense isn't as good as people though, but still very good. Kansas State is good, but not great. Another close game.

Oklahoma over LSU. Oklahoma was embarassed in their last game. Not so this time. Its debatable whether LSU or USC is better then each other, but Oklahoma is still a step ahead.

yeah, you guys annihilated nebraska good... well who else did? thats right--UT. a 24-14 win over missouri is an annihilation by whose standards? kansas? who, ironically, also beat mizzou (by a better margin at that). I remember a 5-7 colorado beating mizzou also you dont understand. im not downing KSU.. i just dont think they are as good as OSU. OSU played a GRINDING schedule, and still ended up 10-2. their last loss was a tough fight put up against a resurgent mich team. as much as i personally hate osu, i have to give credit where credit is due. thats why i never brought up the "marshall crap". yeah, you guys were playing without EllRobertson. in the game where KSU 'came a fumble away from kicking UT to the curb', UT were playing 3 quarters without OUR version of EllRo. now that changes the situation doesnt it? hell, Vince Young did not play in the Arkansas game where we lost by 10 points. in the hypothetical realm UT would be 11-1 and in the contention mix... but we're not playing that imaginary game. no allegiances here. in conclusion, i think these are the strongest teams <B>NOW 1. USC, 1, LSU v/s OU winner . michigan 4. ohio state 5. usc </B>

mhwahah ya rite

So I'm 2-6. I really should just pick winners and then bet for the team that I expect to lose. I could become rich. :p
