2014 Bowl Games Open Thread

Only games I see on paper that are for sure blow outs are Wisconsin vs Auburn and Maryland vs Stanford. Nick Marshall, Duke Williams, and Sammie Coates have to be licking their chops after seeing what Devin Smith and co. did to that Wisconsin secondary. Auburn's secondary is ass but Wisconsin doesn't have the athletes to take advantage. I figure War Eagle loads the box and dares Stave to beat them. Probably won't get as ugly as the B1G Championship but I see Auburn winning 45-21 or something like that.

Maryland vs Stanford is going to be an all out slaughter unless Cardinal doesn't show up.
Starting at the bottom, I will share my opinion as well, because yeah this is what a message board is for.
Illini v Geaux Tech. I feel this should be a blowout win for the orange. SHOULD be.
Rutgers v UNC. A good matchup for the B1G. I think Rutgers pulls it out by 16.
Penn State v BC. Another great matchup against poor ACC competition. Pedsters know how to keep it close with a 13 pt victory
Maryland v Stanford. Only way terps pull this one out is if the cardinal is in complete breakdown mode from a bad season. Cardinal by 28.
Iowa v Ten. I have no freaking idea, best guess Vols by 10. Iowa could win, but I doubt they even try.
Minny v Mizzou. I have this one as a draw, will be less an a 3 pt game. Mizzou is so hot and cold this year. For the sake of picking I'll go Minny by 3.
Nebby v USC. Trojan man by 18. USC is a much better team than their record this year. Corn is the opposite.
Wisky v Auburn. I don't really know. I'd like to think Wisky can win this game, but they are going to waste a full week of prep in depression mode, and Tigers win it by 14.
Sparty v Baylor. I like this matchup and I think Sparty wins it by 17.
The Ohio State University v Bama. I won't make a prediction but I will say this is the matchup I wanted.
Oregon v Creminoles. The big question is can FSU make one of their big comebacks when they're down by 30 going into the half? My guess is Oregon by 30 at the half and then by 20 at the end.
So I've got B1G going 6-4, could easily be 5-5, without predicting the winner of Oregon v OSU.

fuck aubrun's defense is awful and they just fired their dc. even if they landed muschamp i doubt he could fix it before the bowl game. my only question in that game is will the badgers' heads be in the game or will osu blow them out twice. if wiscy comes to play gordon might reclaim the single game record.

I'll root for all except the pedsters. I'm really hoping that Sparty absolutely breaks a plunger off in Briles' ass. I doubt it would shut him up, but it would be sweet nonetheless.

I'm right there with you. I'd love to see Sparty pull at Wiscy type beat down on Baylor. I would also like to see Wiscy recover and find a way to beat Auburn, but I doubt it will happen unless Gordon gets it in his head to beef up his draft stock. He lost some money Saturday. Ped State is the only B1G team I'd like to see lose. I know it's sad, but I think I like watching them lose as much as scUM.

Auburn is going to blow the fucking doors off Wisconsin. Their offense is OSU-lite and I have zero confidence Wisconsin can go up and down the field with them.

Pretty much agree but then again, when it looks like such an obvious repeat of a recent game, it often doesn't turn out that way.

I see two schizo teams with a month off between games.

Who the fuck knows which version of which team is going to show up.

Baylor and TCU both need to be obliterated in their bowl games. I was calmly prepared to not see OSU show up on the big board Sunday, but since it did, the whining from these two schools is approaching Pedster-level. Never developed a hate so quickly for two schools that were irrelevant to me a week ago.

Man, you can't teach stupid like this. You have to breed it.

I don't think the Big 12 will make a move for any teams other than those in the current P5 for financial reasons already covered here. Contracts can be reworked. GORs can be tweaked. It wouldn't surprise me if Colorado, Nebraska and even Missouri were interested.
