Independence Bowl Texas A&M vs Georgia
I think Georgia destroys A&M. They have more talent, A&M's defense is pretty bad and I think Georgia's defense will hold down A&M enough.
Holiday Bowl Nebraska vs Arizona
This one is tough. Nebraska and Arizona both have solid defense. I'll give Arizona a slight edge because I think their offense can be effective. Which is more than I can say about Nebraska's D, But Nebraska's D could give them points.
Sun Bowl Oklahoma vs Stanford
I'm probably wearing the crimson glasses on this one but Oklahoma will smoke Stanford. Stanford doesn't have their starting QB, they have a probable Heisman Trophy winner in Garhart and he'll have some plays. The closest type of back we played to him is the KSU running back. And Gerhart has a lot of heart too. I love him as a player. Their offensive line is solid also. And they have one OG who has faced some of our guys in practice. But I still love OU's offense to move the ball all day. Our defense is too good to allow them to score enough to win this game. OU by at least 2 TDs.
Texas Bowl Navy vs Missouri
Talk about a clash of styles. A spread run team vs a spread pass team. Missouri has more talent on both sides of the ball and should win easily.
Insight Bowl Minnesota vs Iowa State
First of all Who care? This may be the most unwatchable bowl this year. I'll pick Minnesota only because ISU basically scheduled a bowl this year. They played such an easy schedule that there was no way they weren't going to a bowl this year.
Cotton Bowl Oklahoma State vs Ole Miss
This is interesting because of how impressive Oklahoma State's defense has been. The running back for Ole Miss is really tough and will make plays. OSU really hasn't faced a guy like him. But Snead for Ole Miss is very inconsistent. He could give Oklahoma State some good field position. I think this will be a close one, Oklahoma State wins.
Alamo Bowl Michigan State vs Texas Tech
I'll be rooting for Michigan State, but Tech will win easily. I don't see Michigan State's D slowing Tech down.
National Championship Game Texas vs Alabama
I think Alabama is just completely different physically from what Texas has seen. There's no teams Texas has played that are physical on both sides of the ball like Alabama is. Nebraska's defense is close to as physical as Bama's D is but not as physical. Having to prepare for Bama is going to be nearly impossible for Texas. Especially because they don't have good running backs. However Texas' D will keep them in the game. But the 2 times this year Texas came up against really good physical defenses they were held to 16 and barely 13 points. I don't see Texas scoring above 20.
I think Georgia destroys A&M. They have more talent, A&M's defense is pretty bad and I think Georgia's defense will hold down A&M enough.
