NCAA Weekend up

Big weekend ahead for NCAA Football

There are a lot of big ones NCAA wise leading into the national semi-finals on New Year's Eve. The stakes are pretty much self explanatory so I will skip the rhetoric and jump into the picks!

Autozone Liberty Bowl

Georgia vs TCU

Each team had their share of close finishes with TCU probably not quite living up to expectations this season while Georgia was about where expected under a new coach. Basically, Georgia is looking to keep the status quo for the SEC while TCU is looking to gain respect from the big boys.

Something is telling me TCU!

TCU 34-30

Hyundai Sun Bowl

Stanford (18) vs North Carolina

A big one for the Tarheels against the under achieving Cardinal. .

With no Christian McCaffrey for Stanford,, the Tarheels should be able to pull it out.

UNC 23-18

Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl

Nebraska vs Tennessee (21)

Both squads come in off final game losses looking to close out the year on a positive note. Tennessee is reflecting on the season that could have been while Nebraska is looking to give the Big 10 a win over the SEC. 

Depending on which Tennessee team shows up, it could be a blow out or a close loss!

Tennessee 34-24

Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl

South Alabama vs Air Force

The Falcons bounced back brilliantly from a mid season three game losing streak to close out the season with five wins in a row. South Alabama had an up and down season and will find it tough against  Air Force.

The Falcons, top to bottom will be too tough.

Air Force 30-17

Capital One Orange Bowl

Michigan (6) vs Florida State (11)

At the start of the season, this one would have brought about talks of national semi final talk but Florida State stumbled along the way and Michigan was just short in the season finale against Ohio State.

Hmm....with the setting being Florida...can't go against the locals!
FSU 28-23

Back tomorrow with picks for the big New Year Eve/January 2 games....enjoy.
