Bowl Predictions: Week 5

Bruce Feldman and Mark Schlabach from ESPN have their bowl projections up. Feldman has the Georgia Bulldogs vs. the Clemson Tigers in the Chick-fil-A Bowl while Schlabach has Georgia vs. Purdue in the CapitalOne Bowl.

Sportsline projects UGA vs. Michigan in the CapitalOne Bowl.

Personally, as long as we don't play Purdue or Wisconsin in the Outback or CapitalOne, I'm pretty open minded. My SEC, ACC and other interesting bowls of note predictions are below.



Bowls Week 5
National Title USC vs. LSU
Rose Ohio State vs. Cal
Orange Boston College vs. USF
Fiesta Oklahoma vs. West Virginia
Sugar Wisconsin vs. Virginia Tech


CapitalOne Florida vs. Michigan
Outback Georgia vs. Michigan State
Cotton Arkansas vs. Texas
Peach Auburn vs. Clemson


Music City UK vs. UVA
Liberty UT vs. UCF
Independence Alabama vs. Texas A&M
Texas Bowl South Carolina vs. East Carolina


Gator Nebraska vs. Miami
Champ Sports FSU vs. Penn State
Meineke GT vs. Rutgers
Emerald Maryland vs. UCLA
Boise Wake vs. Boise


Holiday Kansas State vs. Oregon
Sun Louisville vs. Arizona State
Alamo Purdue vs. Missouri
Insight Illinois vs. Colorado



Agree? Disagree?

Update: Several questions in the comments along the lines of "Why not 2 SEC teams in the BCS?" Here's my logic.
    -- I don't think UF can beat LSU. I also don't think that UK or SC will win the East. If UF wins the East, they won't make the BCS with three losses. If UGA won the East, I think we'd have two SEC losses and do it via tie breakers. I also don't think we can beat LSU. No three loss SEC team is making the BCS.

    -- USF even as an at-large should logically sell a ton of tickets to the Orange. If Boston College wins the ACC, they'll almost have to have an in state team in the game to sell tickets because BC doesn't travel. Period.

    -- WVU travels like crazy. Even if they don't win the Big East, they would still be an attractive draw for the BCS.
Said differently, I don't have the balls to pick UGA in the BCS right now.
