College Bowl picks part 2 - "opening act games"

These bowl games are so tough. What team really wants to be there? Who is not in jail or suspended. How well prepared are the teams after such a long time off... Coaches that are going to look at youngsters for next year, or those who have a good relationship with a lazy senior class...Very tough.

I would not take Texas personally. I dont have any idea how they will react to this game. McCoy is an unknown quantity not having been hit for weeks. Is his arm ok like it was supposed to be when they played ATM? Does their pass defense still stink?

BTW. Believe it our not, the Alamo Bowl sold out quicker than any other Alamo Bowl ever and will set an attendance record. It was the 6th most popular bowl ticket on sale by the online market. Two teams on the down and out... go figure. Texas fans follow their teams and will pay ridiculous sums of money to be there. I will not. The tube works fine.
