Chick-fil-A Bowl
South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Florida State Seminoles
Both teams made it to their conference championship and lost. They each look to redeem themselves tonight and get to ten wins for the season. Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder will end his long college career today and he must go through Marcus Lattimore and the Gamecocks. I like Florida State to pull out a win tonight. I see Ponder playing his heart out and leading the offense to a good game. On the other side the defense should be able to stop Garcia from playing well and causing a couple interceptions. Florida State wins this one 28-24.

AutoZone Liberty Bowl
Georgia Bulldogs vs. Central Florida Knights
It’s probably no surprise who I think will win this game. I like the Bulldogs to win one lead by quarter back Aaron Murray and wide receiver A.J. Green, who may be playing his last collegiate game before going to the draft. The Knights have a strong defense, but the Bulldogs should overcome it, with a big pass plays and solid runs by Washaun Ealey. Mark Richt always seems to get his team ready for bowl games as the Bulldogs have won seven of their past eight bowl games. I see Georgia winning 30-21.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Miami Hurricanes
Miami is playing with interim coach Jeff Stoutland leading them after Randy Shannon was fired earlier this year. I feel the team may not be completely prepared for this game and will suffer another disappointing loss. Jacory Harris hopefully should be able to start after his injury which will give his team an emotional boost, but I'm not sure that will be enough. Notre Dame freshman quarterback has lead the Irish to three straight wins, all against teams with at least seven wins. If Miami can get their running game going early, they could win this, but I see Notre Dame winning 31-24.

Bowl Prediction: Part 7
Yesterday was quite an exciting day with two 2-point games, a double overtime game, and the biggest upset of bowl season thus far. I went 2-2 and am at 8-10 for the bowl season. There are four games today and there are some really good match-ups set for us.

Clemson Tigers vs. South Florida Bulls
I’m expecting a scoring game as both teams boast a quality defense and should do a good job against each other’s offense. Clemson’s offense will be led by quarterback Kyle Parker and running back Jamie Harper as they look to score without the help of suspended running back Andre Ellington. His absence should hurt a little, but they should be able to score just enough points to win this game. It will be the defense that wins this game for Clemson, though. The Clemson defensive line will continuously disrupt Bulls quarterback B.J. Daniels and Da’Quan Bowers should add to his NCAA leading 15.5 sacks. Clemson should win this one 17-10.

Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl
Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Washington Huskies
The two teams played each other back in September and Nebraska destroyed the Huskies. I see a closer game this time, but Nebraska should still win. Quarterback Taylor Martinez should be playing and should do well. If not, he can hand it off to Roy Helu Jr., who can break off huge runs. Jake Locker should have a much better game than last time as he plays the last game of his college career. I see Nebraska winning 38-24.

North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Tennessee Volunteers
Tyler Bray will try to lead Tennessee to its fifth straight victory against the Tar Heels at LP Field in Nashville. He became the starter when the Volunteers were 2-6 and led them to a bowl game. It will be interesting to see how he does against the Tar Heels because the teams he beat were not nearly as good as UNC. The combined record of the four teams were 13-35. Tyler Yates will lead the Tar Heels and should do well against a poor Tennessee secondary leading them to a 24-21 victory.

New Era Pinstripe Bowl
Kansas State Wildcats vs. Syracuse Orange
This is another game where one team has a slight home-field advantage and I am not choosing that team. I like Kansas State led by running back Daniel Thomas to win this one. Their running game should overpower the Orange and be able to overcome and deficiencies their defense have in their run defense. Syracuse will use running backs Delone Carter and Antwon Bailey often and should be successful, but it won’t be enough. The Wildcats win this one 20-17.
