Prediction record so far: 4-1
Cotton Bowl: Texas Tech vs. Ole Miss
The only way Ole Miss will win this game is if Texas Tech has a giant letdown. If the Red Raiders are too worried about how they got dissed from the Big 12 championship game and the national championship, then Ole Miss might be able to stick with them. Texas Tech has a good argument for being in the national championship game; Ole Miss doesn't.
Prediction: Texas Tech 41, Ole Miss 14
Liberty Bowl: Kentucky vs. East Carolina
Kentucky is an up and down team. Much like Maryland, they put up good fights against good teams and then play poorly against bad ones. I think this will be a close game, but the Pirates will pull it out in the end.
Prediction: East Carolina 20, Kentucky 16
Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Utah
Utah's quality wins this year are Oregon State, Air Force, and TCU. They beat Oregon State and TCU by three points each and Air Force by seven. Some people have been touting their signature win as the game against Michigan, but Michigan finished 3-9 and only lost by two points. Meanwhile, Alabama trounced much better teams than those. Utah is a decent team, but once again, they'll need an emotional letdown from Alabama to have a good chance. I don't expect the final score to be competitive.
Prediction: Alabama 30, Utah 10
