Old School Meets New School
The Michigan State Spartans are massive underdogs in the Cotton Bowl, the second of the two national semifinal games this year. That said, Sparty has been defying the odds all season long, pulling off the improbable upset of Ohio State just weeks after the miracle touchdown on the fumbled punt on the final play of the game at Michigan. We've seen upset after upset before this time of year, and the Alabama Crimson Tide should surely be on notice....
Last year, the No. 4 team in the College Football Playoff, the Ohio State Buckeyes, pulled off two big upsets to win the National Championship. The Oklahoma Sooners are going to try to do the same this year, but they've got a much easier road to sow. In fact, even though they're going to be wearing the road jerseys at Sun Life Stadium for the Orange Bowl, they're actually favored by a relatively comfortable margin and are the clear second favorites to win it all according to the oddsmakers....
They're the only undefeated team in America, and they've been ranked No. 1 in the land by every edition of the College Football Playoff rankings. However, the Clemson Tigers are still continually being disrespected by the oddsmakers and fans alike, as they're underdogs in the eyes of the public and in the eyes of the sportsbooks against the Oklahoma Sooners in the Orange Bowl....
With Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray out for the Aggies, it leaves the inexperienced Jake Hubenak the one taking the snaps under center. Hubenak will have plenty of targets, but the pressure will be on the defense to keep Lamar Jackson and Kyle Bolin at bay....
The 5-7 teams have represented themselves well in the bowl games this year, but even the most diehard college football fans will realize that there are at least one or two too many bowls to go around right now. You know it's bad when the Colorado State Rams and Nevada Wolf Pack, two teams from the Mountain West, have to play against each other in the Arizona Bowl, a game which no one really wanted to go to and no major network wanted to put on television....
Last year's loss in the Orange Bowl to Georgia Tech left a really bitter taste in the mouths of the Mississippi State Bulldogs.There aren't all that many starters left from that team, but Dak Prescott is amongst them, and he'd love nothing more than to finish his collegiate career with a victory in the Belk Bowl over the North Carolina State Wolfpack....
In a battle of the Tigers, surprisingly Memphis is the one with a three game SU edge going against a 6-6 Auburn team.Memphis's 63-0 shellacking of Southern Methodist to close out the regular season should add to their confidence heading into this game....
At the outset of the season, both the USC Trojans and Wisconsin Badgers had hopes of playing against a team from the Big Ten or Pac-12 respectively in a bowl game in Southern California. Of course, the Holiday Bowl isn't the Rose Bowl, but this isn't a bad consolation prize for two teams which had some really good moments down the stretch of the year....
Air Force will bring its dominant running game to Amon G. Carter Stadium looking to beat California for the first time since 2002.While they're a solid 8-5 on the season, the Falcons are only 2-5 on the road....
On the last day of the regular season, both the North Carolina Tar Heels and Baylor Bears could've played their way into the New Year's Six.Instead, both were beaten and were relegated to the Russell Athletic Bowl, where they'll be facing off in what could be one of the higher scoring games of the bowl season....
Between the Texas Tech passing game and the LSU rushing attack behind Leonard Fournette, each team can put points on the board.The Tigers, however, will have to overcome a stark down turn in production while the Red Raiders' defense will need to shutdown Fournette to have any chance in this one....
The Michigan Wolverines battle the Florida Gators in the 2016 Citrus Bowl and bragging rights among power conferences. Those of you who live on the West Coast need to wake up early - the game kick off at Noon, ET and ESPN will televise the game live....
The 2016 Outback Bowl features two teams with contrasting styles when the Northwestern Wildcats of the Big 10 take on the Tennessee Volunteers of the SEC. NU plays Big Ten ball, running the ball and hitting short passes to move the chains and chew up the clock and relying on their stout defense to make plays. Tennessee loves the big play, high octane type offense and would love to get into a shootout and out score you, rather then shut you down....
The Wisconsin Badgers face the USC Trojans in a Big 10/Pac 12 showdown in the Holiday Bowl that will give the winner bragging rights and really nothing more. Both teams had up and down years. The Badgers hired a new coach as Paul Chryst took over and even though he won 9 games in his first season, they didn’t beat anyone with a winning record. The Badgers lost to Iowa, Alabama and Northwestern and if they don’t beat USC, it will be a disappointing year in Badger-land....
Navy has already won 10 games this season and will shoot for its first 11-win season in the history of the program.They'll host Pittsburgh which has put together a strong season of their own centered around the defense in Pat Narduzzi's first season at the helm....
One of three five-win teams to receive a bowl berth, the Cornhuskers will look to justify the NCAA’s decision to hand it a bowl while taking on a UCLA squad that handed it a 41-21 loss the last time they faced over two years ago....
Detroit is one of the popular venues for the bowl season and has always had some sort of tie in to the Big Ten. This time around, it's the Minnesota Golden Gophers who are heading to Ford Field for the holidays for the Quick Lane Bowl. There, they'll take on the Central Michigan Chippewas out of the MAC....
Known more for basketball, Duke has actually made a bowl game in four straight seasons, but hasn't earned a bowl win in over 50 years.They'll look to buck that trend on Saturday as they take on another basketball powerhouse on the gridiron....
Of all of the teams which qualified for a bowl game late in the regular season, none provided a feel good story quite like the Virginia Tech Hokies. Sure, this hasn’t been the best season Frank Beamer has ever had in Blacksburg, but his team rallied around his retirement announcement to reach a bowl game, and that's going to make the Independence Bowl an emotional farewell for one of the best coaches the sport has ever seen....
You have to go back over five decades to find the last time the Iowa Hawkeyes won the Rose Bowl. They've got a real opportunity here to shine on the big stage against the Stanford Cardinal in a battle of teams which came up just shy of the College Football Playoff.College Football Odds at BookMaker.eu...
A boatload of injuries spoiled what otherwise was a great season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. They aren't being given a heck of a lot of a chance against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl, but this could end up being one of the more entertaining of the 40 bowl games this year.College Football Odds at BookMaker.eu...
The Minnesota Gophers went 5-7 and looked like they might not be in a bowl game, but not enough teams won 6 games this year to become bowl eligible and the Gophers were invited to the Quick Lane Bowl for strong Academic Progress Rate. Yah, that’s right, strong Academic Progress Rate. Minnesota doesn’t deserve to be in a bowl after a disappointing year, but they are and are ready to tangle with the Central Michigan Chippewas in a Big 10/MAC showdown....
After a rocky 3-5 start, Middle Tennessee State won four straight games to improve to 7-5 and punch its ticket to the Bahamas.A fifth straight win would seem apt as they go against a Broncos squad with six bowl appearances and no wins.College Football Odds at BookMaker.eu...
The 2015 Pinstripe Bowl offers up a battle between the Big Ten and ACC conferences. The Indiana Hoosiers and Duke Blue Devils square and yes it’s football, not basketball! You would think that this would be a great hoops game but no we are talking football and it is going to be a great game, maybe even a shootout....
Southern Mississippi boasts the superior record and has a great storyline as the school improved by eight wins in just two seasons. Despite that, they’ll have an uphill battle as they travel to Texas to take on a Washington team that’s been tested against much tougher competition throughout the year....
