BELK BOWL - GEORGIA VS LOUISVILLE

Overall
UGA - 7
LOU - 16

When UGA Has the Ball
UGA Run O : 7
LOU Run D : 23

UGA Pass O : 24
LOU Pass D : 18

When LOUISVILLE Has the Ball
LOU Run O : 26
UGA Run D : 69

LOU Pass O : 38
UGA Pass D : 11

Special Teams
LOU : 88
UGA : 11

Analysis & Prediction
Pretty great matchup for the Belk Bowl to get. Top 20 teams, evenly matched across the board, Petrino, Grantham Bowl, etc. This should be a solid game and seems like one of those bowls that could come down to who wants to be there and prepares that way.

UGA 27 - LVILLE 21



PEACH BOWL - OLE MISS VS TCU

Overall
OM - 4
TCU - 5

When OLE MISS Has the Ball
OM Run O : 37
TCU Run D : 6

OM Pass O : 9
TCU Pass D : 34

When TCU Has the Ball
TCU Run O : 6
OM Run D : 4

TCU Pass O : 34
OM Pass D : 3

Special Teams
TCU : 10
OM : 39

Analysis & Prediction
The Peach Bowl clearly wins in the new Playoff Era alignment. They go from a fringe Top 25 ACC-SEC matchup to the best non-playoff matchup of the bowl season. Contrary to popular belief amongst ESPN analysts, TCU's best weapon is their run game, not their pass game. On the other side, the game will clearly rest on Dr. Bo's shoulders. Should be a really interesting game and a great atmosphere in the Georgia Dome.

This analysis is pretty indicative of my feelings about TCU. Extremely good team that we'll have trouble with. Hope this amazing match up doesn't cost me Ole Miss's undefeated record in Bowl games I attend, but it'll be tough to beat this team.

ORANGE BOWL - MISSISSIPPI STATE VS GEORGIA TECH

Overall
MSU - 6
GT - 10

When MSU Has the Ball
MSU Run O : 5
GT Run D : 96

MSU Pass O : 8
GT Pass D : 81

When GEORGIA TECH Has the Ball
GT Run O : 4
MSU Run D : 21

GT Pass O : 6
MSU Pass D : 16

Special Teams
GT : 23
MSU : 48

Analysis & Prediction
This one could be wild. Tech's defense is really bad, but is pretty good at forcing turnovers. Prescott and Robinson should pile up yards, but Prescott's recent turnover issues could give Tech a few stops. On the flip side, Tech's offense is really good, and Justin Thomas is great in the option game and good enough in the pass game. Who knows how State will react to the triple option with a month to prepare, but you have to think Tech will still get chunks. In addition, State has had explosive play issues on defense.

MISS STATE 38 - GEORGIA TECH 28



OUTBACK BOWL - AUBURN VS WISCONSIN

Overall
AUB - 12
WIS - 17

When AUBURN Has the Ball
AUB Run O : 12
WIS Run D : 29

AUB Pass O : 2
WIS Pass D : 31

When WISCONSIN Has the Ball
WIS Run O : 10
AUB Run D : 18

WIS Pass O : 42
AUB Pass D : 47

Special Teams
WIS : 80
AUB : 79

Analysis & Prediction
Basically as good a matchup as Auburn could ask for. Wisconsin's strengths matchup with Auburn's strengths on defense and Wisconsin doesn't have the athletes to fully take advantage of the Auburn pass defense. On the flip side, Wisconsin's defense was a paper tiger all year and the last game showed it. Auburn will put a beatdown on the Badgers.

AUBURN 47 - WISCONSIN 27
