Big Bob's Round 4 Picks: Brought, to you From Utah

First, let me say that although I'm late with these picks, they were made before the Independence Bowl today. My apologies for not posting sooner, but I've been traveling all day with my family out to Utah and have not had internet access to post.

Second, these will be short and sweet because they were written on the airplane.

Third, at least I'm not Byrum.

Independence Bowl, Dec 28th, ESPN2, 5 PM, Texas A&M vs Georgia (-7.5)

It's hard not to like Jerrod Johnson, the Aggies' stud freshman QB, but it's easy to not like Mike Sherman, who is in general a clown of a head coach. Also, Georgia has the better talent by far, though for the second season in a row they've underachieved a little bit due to lack of discipline. I think they get it together for this one. Big Bob's pick: Georgia.

EagleBank Bowl, Dec 29th, ESPN, 4:30, UCLA (-3.5) vs Temple

Temple hasn't been to a bowl game in like 20 years, so you know they'll be emotionally invested in this game. UCLA, on the other hand, is a thoroughly mediocre 6-6 Pac 10 team that has to travel across the country to Washington DC to play in a bowl game. Give me the upset here. Big Bob's pick: Temple.

Champs Sports Bowl, Dec 29th, ESPN, 8 PM, Miami (-2.5) vs Wisconsin

Miami has athletes on their team that Wisconsin can only dream about. Stop it. Big Bob's pick: Miami.

Humanitarian Bowl, Dec 30th, ESPN, 4:30 PM, Bowling Green (-0.5) vs Idaho

Clearly, I don't know much about either of these teams except for these hilarious Idaho uniforms from a few years ago. However, the Vandals enter this game having lost 4 of 5 while Bowling Green has won 6 of 7. That's enough for me. Big Bob's pick: Bowling Green.

Holiday Bowl, Dec 30th, ESPN, 8 PM, Arizona (-1.5) vs Nebraska

Nebraska is a tough team to figure out, given that their defense has been great all season while their offense has been very inconsistent. Still, they did give Texas' offense all it could handle in the Big 12 Championship game, something which makes me think they can handle Arizona's. Big Bob's pick: Nebraska.
