Now I am not so sure....

Did everyone see the fantastic finish in the Humanitarian Bowl. It takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to go for two and the win, but whether it works or not it is always fun to watch. I am impressed with Nebraska's offense. The Cornhusker's have put up 33 points in just under three quarters in this blowout over Arizona. The Pac-10 has looked awful in their bowl appearances. Well tomorrow starts a long row of bowl games. So lets get started.

Armed Forces Bowl; Houston v. Air Force: Houston has one of the most productive passing games seen outside of Lubbock. Case Keenum is setting himself up for a Heisman run next year. Keenum's ability to move in the pocket and make plays with his legs is the most overlooked part of his game. This powerful Houston team does have a problem stopping the run, which doesn't bode well in this game verse Air Force. Air Force has the fourth ranked rushing attack in the nation and can give the Houston defense fits. I am taking Houston. Jess, John and Lys agree. Jason is getting his picks to me later.

Sun Bowl; Oklahoma v. Stanford: After losing Sam Bradford for the season to a shoulder injury Oklahoma became very inconsistent. The Sooner defense is very good. They are ranked in the top 10 in the country in run defense. Oklahoma will need all of it to stop the bulldozer that is Toby Gerhart. Stanford has put it's season on the very broad and capable shoulders of Gerhart who has carried the Cardinal to their first winning season in eight years. This Stanford team has the tough guy attitude of their coach Jim Harbaugh. It is no secret that I love Stanford, and I am taking them over Oklahoma. Lys and John agree, but Jess took the hated Sooners.

Texas Bowl; Mizzou v. Navy: This game is similar to the match-up in the Armed Forces bowl. Missouri is ranked in the top 15 in the nation in passing offense, and Navy is a top ranked running offense. Both teams are coming in feeling like they have something to prove. I like the Blaine Gabbert, and this Missouri Tigers offense. But I believe in Navy. Lys and John agree, but Jess does not.

Insight Bowl; Iowa State v. Minnesota: Both of these teams struggled offensively all year. The Gopher's offensive troubles stem from injuries, especially to Eric Decker. This game might be tough to watch but I am taking Minnesota because they can stop the run. Again John and Lys agree, and Jess took Iowa State.

Chick-Fil-A Bowl; Virginia Tech v. Tennessee: These are two very similar teams. Both have good defenses, both have great tailbacks (although Tennessee has a pair of good backs), and both have inconsistent quarterbacks. I think that Virginia Tech is an overall better team. But I am taking Tennessee. Jess agrees and John and Lys took VT.

I am looking forward to seeing Jason's picks. Live like no one is watching and stay tuned for the kick off of the new decade!
