Make the Alamo Bowl a BCS game!

Wow, what a win last night for the Huskers. Zac Taylor is a stud, he took so many hits and came right back at them. There was quite a scare at the end, but that's all it was. I just wish I would have used a pick on Nebraska! But BC covered as well, so that puts me at 2-2.

Tonight there are 2 games. First is the Emerald Bowl with Georgia Tech against Utah, the other is the Holiday Bowl, featuring Oregon against Oklahoma. I will use picks on both of them...

3* - Utah +8 Over Georgia Tech - Georgia Tech has been up and down all season long, pretty much like they always have been under Gailey. Utah is a very deceiving 6-5 on the season. These teams are very close talent-wise, and I like the underedog in a game with teams of equal talent, so I'll pick a very close game with Utah winning straight up.

2* - Oklahoma +3 Over Oregon - The last time Oregon got screwed out of a bowl they came out and killed Colorado. This time they get screwed out of a BCS, but won't have the same results. That Oregon team was far better than this one. Oklahoma started the season slowly because of Adrian Petersen's injury, but he is now full strength and QB Bomar has come on strong. Oklahoma is far more talented, especially on defense, should not be an underdog, and I think Oklahoma wins this one by 2 TD's or more. One concern would be Oklahoma playing in such a low bowl after playing so many national championship games of late, but they have a lot to prove in this game after the bowl game last year.
