MAACO Las Vegas Bowl, December 22nd, 8 PM, ESPN, Oregon State vs BYU (-2.5)
BYU has been to the Las Vegas Bowl something like 5 years in a row, which is an incredible feat of irony. This guy, for one, loves it. Oregon State, on the other hand, was one Civil War victory away from being in the Rose Bowl. It's hard to believe that either of these teams is really too excited to be here. Then again, the only time I watched BYU play this year they got destroyed by Florida State. That's enough for me. Big Bob's pick: Oregon State.
Poinsettia Bowl, Dec 23rd, 8 PM, ESPN, Utah vs California (-2.5)
Can somebody please give me a bowl I know something about? I know Cal was ranked in the top 10 earlier this year, but because of the East Coast bias I'm not sure I ever saw them play. Utah, on the other hand, has built a strong name for themselves through 2 coaches. Not many mid-majors could have survived losing an Urban Meyer, so that in itself is impressive. Still, I think Cal regroups from a tough season and puts some pride on the line here. Big Bob's pick: Cal.
Wow, apparently I hate the Mountain West.
Hawaii Bowl, Dec 24th, 8 PM, ESPN, Nevada (-14.5) vs SMU
Nothing says Christmas Eve than watching the Hawaii Bowl. June Jones gets SMU back to a bowl game for the first time in 20 years, and leads me to think that there's about a 70% chance that with his crazy offense he's going to convince a ridiculous Texas high school QB to come to Dallas and put up 5000 yards of offense and the Mustangs are going to make some serious noise. As for this year, they're probably not going to win this game but there's absolutely no way Nevada can give 14 points to a June Jones offense. Big Bob's pick: SMU.
Current records:
Found: 1-2
Oltzy: 1-2
Byrum: 0-3
