Final Bowl Picks

This has been a very fun and exciting bowl season, with a ton of upsets, and plenty of close games, now for the final few games of the bowl season, which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy too long. But, it's also waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy too fun for me to complain about it much.
Now, to talk about the best player in college football history, Tim Tebow, and his statement game against Cincy. He took it upon himself to show that he truly is the best player, as he himself had 533 yards of total offense. Teams want that in a game, to do that by one player is insane. Tebow will be a niche quarterback in the NFL, probably being selected by the Jaguars to create buzz there, since there isn't much. He will need to develop into a better pocket passer and to learn not to run as much, and to learn how to take snaps from under center. But, to do what he has done in his career at Florida, winning a Heisman, winning two national titles, and winning 3 BCS bowl games, is ridiculous, but so good. Here's hoping that he succeeds, and continues to spread his God, the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the country and world.

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: TCU vs. Boise State
This is essentially for the number two spot in the final polls, as the winner will be the only other undefeated team left in the nation. This is also a rematch of last season's Poinsettia Bowl, which was won by TCU 17-16, as Boise blew a fourth quarter lead. The things about this bowl is that I personally wish this was for the national title, but if it wasn't, that these times would be able to face an AQ school in order to prove themselves against the big boys. But, since it isn't, just take it in and watch two excellent schools play another excellent game. Both teams rank in the top five in total offense, mainly because both teams beat up on their opponents to get better rankings. Both teams defenses also rank in the top five, so it's so tough to pick this match up. It's basically a coin flip, and I'm going with the revenge factor.

Pick: Boise State 23, TCU 21 (Confidence Level: 3)

FedEx Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Iowa

This is the lamest out of all of the BCS matchups, and it fittingly ends Fox's run of broadcasting the BCS before it permanently moves over to ESPN next season. Iowa was the Big 10's darling throughout the regular season before losing to Northwestern in early November. Iowa always found ways to win games, and they also put in a resilient effort against Ohio State, when they were without their leader, senior quarterback Ricky Stanzi, but lost 27-24 in OT. Iowa will also put up a staunch effort here, just continually fight back and never go down. Georgia Tech won their first outright ACC title since their national title back in 1990, thanks to Paul Johnson and his military academy style offense, the triple option, which is so tough to defend against, hence how they have back to back 10 win seasons.

Pick: Georgia Tech 30, Iowa 29 (Confidence Level: 2)

GMAC Bowl: Central Michigan vs. Troy

Features Tim Tebow lite in Dan LeFevour, who has all of the dynamics as Tebow, without the hype or recognition, but he did set the NCAA record for total TDs in a career, with 143, surpassing Tebow even. He did this under the tutelage of new Cincy coach Butch Jones, who helped LeFevour flourish. Sun Belt champion Troy is no sloch either, scoring 33 points per game in their last 9 games. Both teams don't know each other at all either, since they've never faced each other.

Pick: Central Michigan 34, Troy 23 (Confidence Level: 16)

BCS National Championship Game Presented by Citi: Alabama vs. Texas

Bama comes into this game carrying momentum as they handled Florida easily, pounding them with their defense led by Terrence Cody, who is much like Ndamukong Suh, who reaked havoc against Texas' O-Line, I expect him to do the same to Texas. Bama also pounded Florida with Heisman trophy winner Mark Ingram, who rushed for 113 yards and 3 TDs ion the romp against Florida, which Texas' denfense probably will not be able to stop, as they're used to passing offenses, just ask Texas Tech and how they couldn't stop Michigan State's rushing attack, which is significantly weaker than Bama's. Texas however has 2 things going for it, the roommates Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley. Shipley is one of the most explosive returners in all of college football who has ran back a few for TDs this season. Then, McCoy has receivrs to throw it to, it's just whether gets the time, if Coidy gets to him before then or not. I'm betting no.

Pick: Texas 41, Bama 39 (Confidence Level: 1)
