3 more bowls on tap including two big ones for me.
5 Star Picks:
Boise St -14 vs Arizona St (Las Vegas Bowl)
TCU - 10.5 vs La Tech (Poinsettia Bowl)
Unofficial Pick
FIU -4.5 vs Marshall (Beef O'Brady Bowl)
Writeups:
Boise St and TCU- If you saw my bowl preview post then you saw my premise for picking these two teams. Both teams had very good seasons but got the short end of the bowl selection stick. However, don't expect either team to feel sorry for itself. Both teams will put forward a solid effort.
Boise is taking on an Arizona St that underachieved and is transitioning to a new coach. The Sun Devils had some solid wins earlier in the season but did not improve as the season went on. The players will be focusing on next year as opposed to getting ready to take on Boise.
Boise on the other hand will be focused on sending their record setting qb out on a high note. Boise's coach always has his team prepared and I don't expect anything less than a virtuoso performance from the Broncos.
TCU is taking on a respectable LA Tech team that should be pretty excited to play in a bowl game however they will be outclassed in this one on both sides of the ball. Also, TCU's head coach is not one to not prepare his team for any opponent and has a solid bowl record. Looking at TCU's record this season, you can see that when TCU played lesser teams, they were not afraid to run up the score. Look for a repeat in this one.
FIU- Don't know too much about the Panthers but they have a stud player in TI Hilton. I think FIU has an edge in talent and look for that to be the difference.
