College Football Bowl Game Picks 2013 (December 21-January 6)

This is the final season of the BCS Bowl Games and is the start of a busy three week period where College teams will complete their seasons which will culminate in the National Championship Game between the Florida State Seminoles and Auburn Tigers.

Is that the right Championship Game? When it comes to the criteria set out by those that pick the BCS Games, I can't disagree that those two teams deserve their shot to win the big prize, but I have a nagging feeling that the best team, the Alabama Crimson Tide, are missing out.

Next season that will be less of a concern as the Play Off comes into effect, but for now I do think we will see a good National Championship Game although I have a clear favourite in mind.


Over the next three weeks, I won't have picks from every Bowl game as some of them are particularly hard to read, but hopefully it will be a post-season as successful as the last two years and will help the year end with a winning record after the disappointment of last season.


Colorado State Rams v Washington State Cougars Pick: It would be a huge surprise if this isn't a high-scoring game to open the Bowl season up in College Football as both Secondaries have struggled against the pass this season. They both combine for around 65 points per game, while they Defenses give up an average of 60 points per game combined.

The Washington State Cougars at least showed some good form down the stretch by winning 2 of their last 3 games and they are keen to give their Seniors something to remember after making the post-season for the first time in over ten years.

Washington State will also feel their Defense will find a way to create more turnovers than their Colorado State counter-parts, although they will need Connor Halliday to look after the ball better than he has for most of the season at Quarter Back for the Cougars.

If, and it is a big if, Halliday can look after the ball, I think Washington State have been playing at a much higher level than Colorado State through the season and will prove too good for the Rams. It might need a late turnover, or a big Defensive stand to see the job through, but the Cougars do look the better team and I like them to win the first Bowl game of the season and cover the spread.


USC Trojans v Fresno State Bulldogs Pick: You have to believe that both of these teams had bigger Bowls in mind at the start of the season so we could see a flat performance at times. However, I think the Fresno State Bulldogs will want to finish their season on a higher note than the USC Trojans who will be having a new Head Coach taking over for next season and have lost their inspirational Coach O.

I do think this Trojans team will expose the Defensive problems Fresno State have had for much of the season, but I also think Derek Carr and this Bulldogs Offense is capable of moving the chains.

This is a big game for Carr as he will want to escape the shadow his big brother left in the NFL, one that may put off a few suitors of his in the NFL Draft next year.  Playing well against this Secondary will at least have people sit up and take notice of his chance to make it as a starter at the next level, although he will know the Trojans have been pretty good defending the pass all season.

As I said, I think motivation may be the biggest issue for USC to overcome and that means the 6 point head start for Fresno State is just high enough to keep me interested.


December 26th
Pittsburgh Panthers v Bowling Green Falcons Pick: You don't really know how teams are going to approach the Bowl Games outside of the top BCS Bowls, but you have to imagine that the Bowling Green Falcons are going to want to end their season on a high after winning the MAC Championship.

The Falcons match up well with the Pittsburgh Offense as they are better at defending the pass than the run and they may just restrict what the Panthers are able to do.

I also will be looking for Bowling Green to have slightly more success when they have the ball in their own hands and should prove too strong for Pittsburgh when they have the ball in their hands. The number is under the Touchdown mark and I think Bowling Green could cover.


Northern Illinois Huskies v Utah State Aggies Pick: Both of these teams lost their Conference Championship Game so the team that has recovered better mentally will be the one that should walk away with the win from this pick 'em game.

The fact that this is Jordan Lynch's last game for Northern Illinois should focus the Huskies in this one and I think they may have a little too Offense for the Utah State team to deal with.

Utah State will certainly feel their ability to stop the run will help them in this one, but Jordan Lynch at Quarter Back is a problem that is not easy to defend, although he may have to rely on his arm more than his feet in this one to keep the chains moving.

I also have no doubt that the Aggies will have their success with the ball in the hands of their Offense, but I will back Northern Illinois to rally around Lynch and send off their Quarter Back with one more win under their belt.


December 28th
Louisville Cardinals v Miami Hurricanes Pick: This could have been a Bowl Game with a much bigger national interest if these teams could have maintained their form from early in the season throughout the year. While the Louisville Cardinals remained solid enough outside of their one loss, the Miami Hurricanes fell apart after a loss to the unbeaten Florida State Seminoles and that not only cost them an outside shot at the National Championship, but also any chance of winning the ACC Championship.

Miami will want to prove themselves against one of the better teams they would have faced this season, but the absence of Duke Johnson has proved tough to overcome for the team.

That may prove to be the case in this one against a Louisville Defense that has generally been strong and will look to pressure Stephen Morris in the pocket. If they can keep the Hurricanes in third and long situations by shutting down the running game, the Cardinals could perhaps force Morris into mistakes that he has limited in his last four starts.

On the other hand, I think Teddy Bridgewater is going to have a strong game thanks to a rush attack that should have a lot more success than the one at Miami. By establishing that and ripping yards off on the ground, Bridgewater can use the play-action to move the ball down the field and slow down the Hurricanes pass rush just enough to make big plays.

Bridgewater is still not sure if he will make himself eligible for the NFL Draft at the end of the season, but his team mates and fans will want to show Louisville could have even more success next season if he stays and I expect a big performance from them. I like the Cardinals to cover this spread against a tough Miami team that may make one or two mistakes more that costs them the win.


Kansas State Wildcats v Michigan Wolverines Pick: There were some signs that Michigan were getting back to their best early in the season, but it ended on a sour note and even coming close to knocking off Ohio State won't satisfy a rabid fanbase that will want so much more next season.

Without Devin Gardner in this Bowl Game, it is a big ask for the Defense to step up enough and Shane Morris to plug the gap at Quarter Back as a freshman. There have been freshman successes at other schools in the last twelve months to not want to under-estimate Morris, but the Kansas State Defense has played well, while they should be able to contain the rushing attack and keep Morris in third and long situations.

That will be a problem for Michigan in this game and one where I believe Kansas State will dominate field position and also have more success moving the chains and sustaining drives.

The Wildcats should be able to have some success throwing or running the ball and may take advantage of any demoralising figures in Michigan's rank now that their Quarter Back is missing the game. Will this game mean much to the Wolverines after putting in a lot of effort to beat Ohio State? I am not sure about that motivation for a non-Conference team that they have no rivalry with and without their starting Quarter Back.

I like Kansas State to find a way to cover the spread.


December 30th
Oregon Ducks v Texas Longhorns Pick: There should be some added motivation in the Texas Longhorns team to send Mack Brown off with another win as Head Coach, but this isn't a great match up for them on paper against an explosive Oregon Ducks team.

Oregon won't be happy with the season they have put in as they have failed to achieve their goals of at least winning the Pac-12 and possibly earning another shot at the National Championship.

Marcus Mariota is coming back to school next year, but this will be as healthy as the Quarter Back has felt in a while and I think he will help the Offense earn yards through the air and on the ground against this Texas Defense.

He will need more help from the Defense himself though as the Oregon unit gave up at least 35 points in their last two games. I am not convinced Texas have enough Offense to take advantage of any lapses in concentration, although the fact their long-term Head Coach is moving on has to be a motivational took that they can use to inspire them in this one. Even with that in mind, I like Oregon to come through with a big performance.


December 31st
Virginia Tech Hokies v UCLA Bruins Pick: This looks a decent game which may come down to whether UCLA have enough to impose their Offense on the Virginia Tech Hokies.

The Hokies Defense has been strong at getting after the Quarter Back, stop the run effectively with just 3 yards per carry given up, and create turnovers, but that will all be tested by the Bruins. How they deal with Brett Hundley and his ability to run and throw the ball from the Quarter Back position is going to be key to stopping the Bruins in this one, although UCLA will point to the fact that only the very best teams in the Pac-12 have beaten them this season.

Virginia Tech should have success throwing the ball against UCLA's Secondary, but Logan Thomas has to take care of the ball better than he has for much of the season. The pressure has been on Thomas because the Hokies have struggled to run the ball and that could be the case again in this one.

If the UCLA Bruins can pin back their ears and get after Thomas, I do favour them to win this game, but the Touchdown head start may be too much to overcome.


Mississippi State Bulldogs v Rice Owls Pick: I am a little surprised that the Conference-USA Champions, the Rice Owls, are being given a Touchdown head start in this game where we could see a lot of Offense on both sides of the ball.

The Bulldogs have had a disappointing season, but they rallied with back to back overtime wins to get into this Bowl Game and that could motivate them to finish the season with a high.

Looking after the ball will be the key to winning this game for either team as both should have success moving the chains throughout the game. I think the Rice Owls can at least control the clock better than the Bulldogs I feel and that will be critical for them to cover the spread in this one.


Duke Blue Devils v Texas A&M Aggies Pick: This could be the last time Johnny Football takes the field in the College Football ranks, although Manziel has suggested he may come back to College Station if he is not going to be picked in the First Round.

It has been an exciting, but ultimately disappointing season for the Aggies who may have been looking to push for a place in the National Championship Game but finished with an 8-4 record. The Duke Blue Devils may be more known in basketball circles, but they have had a strong season and won't be disheartened by the defeat against the Florida State Seminoles.

Anything other than a high-scoring game would be a shock, and both teams may also turn the ball over, but I think ultimately Johnny Manziel makes more plays and signs off on a two year strong career at this level with the win for the Aggies and the cover.


January 1st
LSU Tigers v Iowa Hawkeyes Pick: Zach Mettenberger is out for the Tigers after suffering an ACL injury, but Les Miles believes his team won't miss a beat against a Big Ten school that may struggle to cope with the 'big boy' football played in the SEC.

Anthony Jennings will be Quarter Back for LSU and he has been given high praise from Miles and I believe the Tigers Offense won't miss too much of a beat. Much of their success will come on the ground, even though Iowa's Defense played that well this season and that should keep Jennings in a good position to make third down conversions to keep the chains moving.

I do think Iowa will be able to have some success with the ball in their hands too, but they haven't played many Defenses as good as LSU's this season and were beaten fairly easily by the leading teams in the Big Ten, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State.

The Tigers can match up with those three and I like them to cover.


Stanford Cardinal v Michigan State Spartans Pick: Any time two Defensive powerhouses like these teams meet, the likelihood of it being a low-scoring game means taking the points on the underdog is the way to go.

That is especially true where Michigan State are getting almost a Touchdown head start in this one and I like the Spartans to keep it close, even if they can't quite get the win.

Both teams are very effective at shutting down the running game, but don't be surprised if both stubbornly continue pounding the rock which will take time off the clock and mean teams will have to sustain long drives to score.

The Spartans should have the edge when it comes to throwing the ball, although their Defensive unit may miss Max Bullough who is the Quarter Back for that unit. That may give Stanford just enough room to secure a win, but the Spartans will make it tough throughout the game and I'll take the points.


UCF Knights v Baylor Bears: There are a number of Bowl Games being played on New Year's Day, but the most exciting one Offensively could come in the final game of the day between the UCF Knights and the Baylor Bears.

Both schools have Quarter Backs that should have a big impact on this Bowl Game, although I think the difference may come in the Defensive play with the Baylor Bears unit capable of turning over the ball and also stopping the ground attack.

Making the UCF Knights one-dimensional will give Baylor a great chance to get the ball in the hands of their Offense in good field position in this game and it looks a tougher ask for the Knights Defense to do the same for UCF.

The Knights did surprise Louisville to win the American Atlantic Conference, but Baylor have an even better Offense and I like them to win this one big.


January 2nd
Oklahoma Sooners v Alabama Crimson Tide Pick: It wasn't much fun watching LSU give up a 96 yard kick return when leading by 14 and less than two minutes left in the game, nor some of the ticky-tacky calls being made against Baylor that didn't seem to be produced when UCF did something similar.

Hopefully the Alabama Crimson Tide have picked themselves up from the disappointment of missing their chance to play for the National Championship again because I do think they are the better team and should have the motivation to end AJ McCarron's career at this level on a high.

McCarron is expected to miss the Senior Bowl so this is his last chance to show NFL scouts what he has in his locker, but I don't expect him to be more than a Second/Third Round pick in the Draft.

The Quarter Back should be able to make nice plays in this one thanks to the Alabama running game which should have lanes to pick up huge yards. That means McCarron can make plays from third and short situations and it will be tough for the Sooners Defense to slow them down.

If the Crimson Tide are fully focused, you have to think they can expose the uncertainty at the Oklahoma Quarter Back position by shutting down the run game and forcing the Sooners to throw. It as been a tough season for Bob Stoops and his team when throwing the ball and I don't think they will have a lot of joy with this Defense in front of them. Alabama stay checked in, I think they cover.


January 6th
Florida State Seminoles v Auburn Tigers Pick: This is the right game to decide the National Championship, although I won't lie and say I can't wait for the Play Offs next season as I do believe that is a much fairer way of deciding a title with the Conferences as split as they are at the NCAA level.

The Auburn Tigers have played well at times, but there is no doubt that they have ridden their luck too in their wins over Georgia and Alabama, the former much more than the latter. However, this Defense they are facing is one of the better ones they would have seen this season and I expect the Coaches to have studied the tape of the LSU Tigers game against Auburn to find a way to keep Nick Marshall and the Offense contained.

It is tough to pass against the Seminoles and I think the bigger problem for the Tigers is finding a way to slow down Jameis Winston and this Florida State Offense. Auburn have struggled against the pass and the rush for much of the season and I think the Seminoles will expose those problems and end the recent domination of the National Championship by the SEC.

Florida State have blown out almost every team they have played and score plenty of points. I think Auburn make it competitive for a while, but the pressure of keeping up with the scoreboard pressure may prove too much for the Tigers to overcome. The Seminoles to win this one and cover the spread is my choice.

College Football Bowl Games 2012

The first week of the Bowl Games are not the most interesting, but it is around ten days before the National Championship Game when things start picking up. This is the time when some of the bigger schools and the more interesting Bowl Games start taking shape.

I'll be making my picks throughout the next ten days and only when I think there is a school worth taking. My full reasons will be given with the picks, as always, but this has been a difficult year for me in the NCAA.


December 29th
Syracuse Orange v West Virginia Mountaineers Pick: I like the Syracuse Orange to keep this game close enough to cover the spread for the following reasons:

First, the West Virginia Offense gets all the media attention, but the Syracuse Offense is under-rated and can certainly score a lot of points against this Mountaineers Defense.

Second, the Orange are well accustomed to seeing this West Virginia team and they have made life extremely difficult for Geno Smith in two previous meetings, only allowing 3 passing touchdowns but also creating 5 interceptions.

Third, the Mountaineers have failed to cover the spread in their last 3 Bowl Games when they have been set as the favourite.

Fourth, getting more than a field goal in this game looks fairly generous as the team that has the ball last could very easily win this game outright.


Oregon State Beavers v Texas Longhorns Pick: I like the Texas Longhorns to cover the spread in this one for the following reasons:

First, I think the Longhorns will rally together after a couple of their players were sent home for breaking curfew and with allegations of sexual assault floating around.

Second, I also believe the Texas Defense can make a couple of turnovers that will give them a chance to cover the spread even if they don't win outright.

Third, Oregon State have just begun to struggle down the stretch in the regular season and I am not sure they deserve to be more than a field goal favourite in this one.


January 1st
Michigan Wolverines v South Carolina Gamecocks Pick: I like the SEC's South Carolina Gamecocks to win and cover for the following reasons:

First, I think the SEC is faster and more athletic than the Big Ten and I believe South Carolina will find a way to slow down Devin Gardner and Denard Robinson and do something similar to what Alabama did on opening day of the season.

Second, I also believe the Gamecocks are better on both sides of the ball and have the playmakers to get things done.

Third, the Wolverines struggled against the best teams they played this season and South Carolina are in amongst those kind of schools and should do enough to take this game away from them.


Nebraska Cornhuskers v Georgia Bulldogs Pick: I like the Georgia Bulldogs to cover the spread in this one for the following reasons:

First, I think Mark Richt will have the Bulldogs fired up despite their heartbreaking loss in the SEC Championship Game.

Second, similar to what I said in the game above, I think the SEC are too athletic and too fast for the Big Ten teams.

Third, the Cornhuskers were crushed by the South Carolina Gamecocks in a Bowl Game last season and I don't have a lot of faith in a team that was crushed as comprehensively as they were against Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship Game.


Wisconsin Badgers v Stanford Cardinal Pick: I'll be backing the Stanford Cardinal to win this game and cover the spread for the following reasons:

First, I believe the Cardinal will have more success on both sides of the ball in this one and that should allow them to win this by a touchdown in my opinion.

Second, I also believe the consistency in the coaching staff at Stanford will see them home in this one.

Third, I am not a fan of the Big Ten and I do think Wisconsin will have a hard time in this one and likely to commit a key turnover late in the game that allow the Cardinal to cover this spread.


January 3rd
Oregon Ducks v Kansas State Wildcats Pick: Both of these schools are very similar in the way they their Offenses look to dictate games, but I just think there is enough about the Oregon Ducks to think they win and cover the spread.

I think this will have a similar feel to the Baylor-Kansas State game in which the Wildcats were just bludgeoned by a team that could score at will and I think Oregon will do the same here.

The added incentive in performing for Chip Kelly in what could be his final game at Oregon before moving into the NFL Head Coach ranks means I like the Ducks in this one.


January 4th
Texas A&M Aggies v Oklahoma Sooners Pick: It is such a shame that we have lost half a point on this line, but I am still going to back the Oklahoma Sooners with the head start in what looks like a really close game.

Johnny Manziel has been phenomenal this season, but there is a chance that Landry Jones can outshine him in this one as I think the latter will want to prove to NFL scouts that he is ready for the next level.

Oklahoma also have a strong recent record against the Aggies and I think Bob Stoops will have got a good game plan together with the time he has had to prepare for this game. I'd be surprised if the Sooners are blown out and the 3 points could be a lot at the end of the night.


January 7th
Notre Dame Fighting Irish v Alabama Crimson Tide Pick: Brian Kelly has openly talked about building his Notre Dame team in a similar manner to what he sees of Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide and they do look closely matched in the way they want to play this game.

Both teams will look to run the ball effectively and put their Quarter Back in a position to make some plays and manage the Offense to enough points and then let their Defense take over.

Both Defenses are amongst the best in the nation and at first glance, 9.5 points looks a big spread. However, I think the experience of Alabama and the fact that they are a lot more battle hardened having played in the SEC all season and I think they are going to win the battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

It'll likely be close for much of the contest, but I'll look for Alabama to make the plays that leads them to a 20-10 win.

College Football Bowl Season Picks and Previews

The last couple of weeks in the regular season once again proved that it is all a myth when people say the season represents 'one long Play Off'.

The Alabama-LSU rematch (something I actually wanted to see if I am honest) has been set as the National Championship Game, but I can't help but feel sorry for Oklahoma State- the Cowboys arguably had the tougher schedule than the Crimson Tide, and their sole loss can be put down to circumstances beyond their control as it came the night after the Women's basketball Coach and Assistant had passed away in an air crash.

It seems Oklahoma State got very close to overtaking Alabama after destroying Oklahoma at home in the final game of the regular season while the Crimson Tide had the week off, but alas it was not quite good enough.

The BCS Bowls have rightly been criticised in other areas, particularly setting up the Michigan Wolverines v Virginia Tech Hokies game in the Sugar Bowl, overlooking teams like Boise State and the Kansas State Wildcats. Personally I am happy Michigan got in to that game, but Virginia Tech should not have after their thorough beating at the hands of Clemson in the ACC Championship Game.

We do have some interesting games to look forward to over the coming weeks, but be careful as motivation of teams is hard to gauge, while players can also be ineligible to play in these games depending on how their academics are going.

A couple of games I am looking forward to are Ohio State v Florida, Florida State v Notre Dame, Houston v Penn State, Stanford v Oklahoma State and, of course, the National Championship Game.


I would also like to take this time to congratulate Robert Griffin III who looks the most likely winner of the Heisman Trophy which will be presented on Saturday. By all accounts, he has a large enough lead over Andrew Luck and I think Griffin III is a deserving winner for everything he has done this season.


The Bowl season unofficially starts this week as Navy take on Army in Washington, while the first official games take place on December 17th.

I will post picks and previews throughout the next few weeks and will update this post and my twitter account (@DavAulak) whenever I do... I will not be playing EVERY Bowl game, but will look at the majority of them to round off what has been a successful year so far.
