Weekend Bowl Predictions

I'm going to attempt to do Bowl Game Predictions for the upcoming week, and since this is the first week I've started, this weekend will be the first games I predict....(wait for it......wait for it....)

Fresno State Bulldogs (8-4) vs. Wyoming Cowboys (6-6) – New Mexico Bowl

-Wyoming blown out by Texas, beat down by Utah and BYU's game was a shellacking. Do we need to mention their game against TCU?

-Fresno lost to Boise State and Natty early on, along w/ an OT loss at WIS. Not horrid.

-This game is pointless. Really really pointless – what's the name of the bowl? New Mexico Bowl...why isn't New Mexico playing in it?


UCF Knights (8-4) vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights (8-4) – St. Petersburg Bowl

-How many headlines have 'Knights vs. Knights?' This is why I'm not in newspaper headline writing positions.

-Rutgers solid losses against Pitt and West Virgina. Good wins against Conn. And S. FLA, so the real question is will they join the Big Ten?

-UCF beat Houston, but I don't care because they're in Florida. It's single digit temps here. I'm bitter.

-UCF doesn't have to travel very far. What, playing in St. Petersburg and all.


Southern Miss Golden Eagles (7-5) vs. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (9-3) New Orleans Bowl

-Dwayne Wade and John Madden will not be involved with this bowl.....tragic.

-MTBR (because I'm not spelling that out) dominated the Sun Belt. The Sun Belt. They play football in the Sun Belt?


Tune in next week, or at the very least, by Tuesday, when some ranked teams play. On a Tuesday. They didn't suck all season long and they're forced to play on a Tuesday.
