Bowl Mania **UPDATE**

**********UPDATE***************
With my confidence picks, I am abysmal 3-5 heading into the BS National Championship Game. My other picks are a very weak 13-12, so I need Florida to win just to break even. So here are the new rules:

-Always go against the team that was "left out of the BCS" (Texas Tech and Boise St in this case). I think the BCS commissioner pays off the refs to make it look like they got the teams right.
-Don't pick the ACC over the SEC (Georgia Tech, BC)



Predictions in order of my confidence level (most confident first)
Georgia over MSU
I know our team the best and I hate to say it, but we haven't played competitively against a good team all year. We barely beat two ok teams (Wisconsin and Iowa). Georgia has underperformed against lofty preseason expectations and the game is a short drive for their fans. Plus, their QB likely will use this game as the final shining moment for his draft resume. Remember BC last year?
Texas Tech over Ole Miss
I really hope they take it out on Ole Miss.
USC over Penn St
Adding to the "Big 10 is a weak conference argument"...
Texas over OSU
And putting an exclamation point on it. We have some of the toughest match ups for the top of our conference. I think it is funny to hear Buckeyes rationalizing that their team hasn't been a big game embarrassment for the past few years.
Boise St over TCU
Why are they still letting Boise St play a weak ass schedule and still go undefeated every year?
Hawaii over Notre Dame
I think they're trying to express the termination process for Charlie Weis.
Alabama over Utah
I hate Nick Saban. Enough said.
Florida over Oklahoma
As much as the BCS sucks, I think they really did get it right - these are the two best teams in the country, even if Texas beat Oklahoma. It's going to be an exciting game.
Cincinnati over Virginia Tech
Really? We're still allowing the ACC and Big East BCS games?

And the rest nobody cares about...
Ball St over Tulsa
Connecticut over Buffalo
ECU over Kentucky
Clemson over Nebraska
Iowa over South Carolina
Georgia Tech over LSU
Minnesota over Kansas
BC over Vanderbilt
Oregon St over Pittsburgh
Houston over Air Force
Oklahoma St over Oregon
Rice over Western Michigan
Nevada over Maryland
Missouri over Northwestern
Rutgers over NC State
Louisiana Tech over Northern Illinois
Cal over Miami
Florida St over Wisconsin
West Virginia over North Carolina
Central Michigan over Florida Atlantic
Troy over Southern Miss
BYU over Arizona
South Florida over Memphis
Fresno St over Colorado St
Wake Forest over Navy

Houston over Air Force?!?! Man, you're crazy...

I actually agree with practically all of your picks, especially your confidence picks. There's not one confidence pick I disagree with.

I am just happy MSU is in a New Year's Day bowl. I don't really care if we win or lose, I just want the game to be competitive. Our season has been a success, and even if Georgia pounds us into submission, it will still be that.
