New Mexico Bowl
BYU vs. UTEP: initially leaning towards BYU. How close to a "home" game will it be for UTEP?
Maaco Bowl Las Vegas
Utah vs. Boise State: initially leaning towards Boise State. Motivation will be huge: will Boise State have it?
San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl
Navy vs. SDSU: initiailly leaning towards SDSU. Is Hoke still around to coach?
AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl
Air Force vs. Georgia Tech: initially leaning towards Air Force. Is GT QB Nesbitt ready for the bowl game?
Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio
TCU vs. Wisconsin: initially leaning towards TCU. Can the Horned Frogs get past the shell shock they experienced at the Fiesta Bowl last season?
One other BCS note: for all of the complaining about non-BCS schools and their strength of schedule (most recently by Ohio State's President), 12-0 TCU demolished THREE 11-1 Big Ten schools in the computer rankings. A couple of 10-2 SEC schools also finished ahead of those 11-1 Big Ten schools: nice try Big Ten. Does 3 or 4 non-conference games against the MAC count as Little Sisters of the Poor too? What about Indiana, Minnesota, and Purdue?
My initial projections would put the MWC at 4-1...vote on the poll, located on the sidebar, for your pick!
I pick the MWC to go 4-1, but they could go 1-4. Every game can be lost this year. The Utah fans I know (in my extended family) expect Utah to get demolished. Ga. Tech runs much the same offenses as AFA and has better athletes. I expect that BYU and SDSU will probably win and TCU is a maybe.
