bowl pick 2016

First post of the year. AAC means the American & MW stands for Mountain West.

FBS Picks

Another semester of Law School is done. Now here are my college bowl picks. My top four teams are in the playoff so the winner will also be the MSF National champion.

BCS Picks plus one

I have been busy. I had planned to post a full list of bowl game predictions but I lost track of time and missed the first bowl game. I then decided just to do the BCS. Here I go

Liberty Bowl

Mississippi State over Rice

BCS Bowls
Rose Bowl

Michigan State over Stanford

Fiesta Bowl

Baylor over Central Florida

Sugar Bowl

Alabama over Oklahoma  

Orange Bowl

Ohio State over Clemson

Title Game

Auburn over Florida State

Note 1: I being a Memphian am also picking the Liberty Bowl eventhough it is a non BCS game.
Note 2: The winner of the BCS title game will be declared the MSF National Champion.

 Today is the day that the Memphis Tigers played & won their final basketball C-USA game. That is a good thing, C-USA has been a joke for a few years now. Memphis has been trying to get out of it and move to the Big East. That seemed to happened last summer, but nope, today is also the final basketball game of the 'old' Big East. It will be replaced with a 'new' Big East who will have first rights to play their tourney in MSG. This means that Memphis is going to join a unnamed conference which I have nicknamed the 'Not Big East' Conference. This assumes that the 'Not Big East' doesn't fall apart first, which it still could. 

 Why is this happening, money or football TV money. It seems strange to me, a basketball fan, that the quest  for more football money can just destroy tradition, when we all know that tradition is why FBS doesn't have a playoff, but it can. I am an Memphis football fan, I hear how football is so important and that basketball doesn't really matter. I hope that this people are right. Conferences hurt & changed rivalries ended all for money, I hope that it is worth it. Because if they are wrong and it is not worth it, there will be no place in this nation that those people will go and not have to deal with the effects of the their mistake.

MVP

In happier news, Congrats to Chris Crawford C-USA tourney MVP.
