\nI\u2019ll take the points, I think Cal won\u2019t care enough.<\/p>\n
\nI must have missed something; Tech is bad. Take the points.<\/p>\n
\nThe Ducks really mailed it in after Dixon got hurt. I think USF isn\u2019t as good as people thought early, but not as bad as people think now. What scares me is that Vegas knows this and put the line at six. Ugh. I have to give the points, unless Dixon\u2019s knee is magically back from the dead.<\/p>\n
\nOK, the line has adjusted for grade-gate or whatever they\u2019re calling it. FSU is just plain bad, and won\u2019t be up for a piddly bowl like this one, wereas any bowl bid is a big deal for Kentucky. Wildcats cover the big number.<\/p>\n
\nI have no idea. Neither of these teams can be any good, but IU is still playing on the whole dead coach emotion thing, so I\u2019ll take the points.<\/p>\n
\nHey, two ranked teams! Maybe the ACC isn\u2019t as bad as I thought, I\u2019ll go with Clemson here.<\/p>\n
\nNot very many points, probably because the Badgers have been good in bowls of late. I\u2019ll take the point and a half.<\/p>\n
\nObviously, Mizzou got jobbed out of a BCS bid\u2014how do you beat Kansas on a neutral field and then they get a better bid? The question is whether that turns into indignation or whether it means Missouri just won\u2019t care. I\u2019ll probably watch just to see McFadden run. I\u2019ll assume Missouri will prove the BCS committee right and tank it.<\/p>\n
\nAs far as I can tell, the wrong team is favored here. Tech throws the ball around a lot, but I don\u2019t remember them beating anybody good this year. Oh, wait, yeah, Oklahoma, the best team not playing for the national title. Yeah, OK, I\u2019ll give the points.<\/p>\n
\nHmm, I\u2019m thinking the spread should be like 14. Orlando is like within spitting distance of Gainesville, and oh yeah, Michigan sucks this year. Michigan particularly sucks against mobile quarterbacks running the spread, which is, you might say, a bad matchup here. Bye, Lloyd, don\u2019t let the door hit you on the way out.<\/p>\n
\nUSC is a lot better, but that seems like too many points to me. I\u2019ll take a chance and take the points. I fear that the half-point will be my undoing in a 35-21 game.<\/p>\n
\nIf I\u2019m the UGA coach, I\u2019m playing the film from last year\u2019s Boise State game on a loop so that my players don\u2019t take this lightly. Hawaii also isn\u2019t as good as Boise was last year. Dawgs in a rout.<\/p>\n
