2015 NCAA Bowl Game Predictions | Badgers Head to Holiday Bowl



2015 Bowl Game List
Yes, that's right, the NCAA Bowl Game season is upon us. That mean's it's time for 37 million pointless college football games before the two that matter on New Years Eve. Let's look at some of the notable ones.

Foster Farms Bowl, UCLA vs. Nebraska- Nebraska had a tough grind this season to get to a bowl game. UCLA features the best freshman in the country in QB Josh Rosen. This one is a win for the Bruins 34-20.

Military Bowl, Pittsburgh vs. Navy- The Panthers were once in the outside mix for the college football playoffs. Navy has one of it's best teams ever. This is going to be a cakewalk for the Midshipmen, 41-17.

Armed Forces Bowl, California vs. Air Force- This will be your last chance to see Jared Goff play a college football game. Goff is a potential first overall draft choice. The Golden Bears win this one 45-24.

Russell Athletic Bowl, North Carolina vs. Baylor- If you didn't know what was going on with Baylor this season, you would think this was the matchup of the bowl season. However, the Bears are down to their 27th or whatever it is string quarterback and are facing a red hot Tar Heel team that almost stunned Clemson in the ACC championship Tar Heels win this game 52-24.

Holiday Bowl, USC vs. Wisconsin- In the past, the Holiday Bowl has been one of the highest scoring contests of the bowl season. That isn't happening this time around though. The Badgers are beyond lousy on offense and most Badgers fans can't wait to get Joel Stave out of town. USC wins this one easily 31-6.

Peach Bowl, Florida State vs. Houston- Cougars QB Greg Ward is one of the most dynamic players in the nation, and leads Houston to a semi-upset in this game 38-30.

Citrus Bowl, Michigan vs. Florida- In his first season in Ann Arbor, Jim Harbaugh has the Wolverines in the Citrus Bowl, a pretty solid feat. This one is going to be a defensive war, with the Wolverines winning 17-10.

Fiesta Bowl, Notre Dame vs. Ohio State- This is my personal least favorite of the New Years Six but I will take the Buckeyes in this game 24-13.

Rose Bowl, Stanford vs. Iowa- “Ohhhh Yeaaaaa” this is going to be as pro-style of a game as you will see at the collegiate level. These two teams are going to beat the crap out of each other for 60 minutes with Stanford willing 23-16.

Sugar Bowl, Oklahoma State vs. Mississippi- The Cowboys are hot, and win this one 48-31.

NCAA Bowl Games 2014 | Which Teams Play In Which Bowl Games?



NCAA Bowl Games 2014
Outside of the Army-Navy game this weekend, the college football regular season has come to a close, and the bowl game matchups have all been announces. Let’s take a look at some of them, not counting the playoffs or major New Years Bowls. Those will be saved for a different day.

Boca Raton Bowl, Marshall vs. Northern Illinois- The Thundering Herd were one 2-point conversion away from an undefeated season and possibly a New Years Eve or later bowl game. Instead, they are stuck in the Boca Raton Bowl on Dec. 23 against Northern Illinois. This will be a really good game. Very high scoring, and whoever has the ball last is going to win.

Sun Bowl, Arizona State vs. Duke- The Sun Devils have been the luckiest team in America in 2014. The Blue Devils are a program on the rise. The Blue Devils should win this game unless Arizona State gets lucky again.

Independence Bowl, Miami (FL) vs. South Carolina- This bowl game usually features teams whose seasons did not go a planned, and this year will be no different. Both these teams underachieved this season, and both are looking to end it on a high note. Expect South Carolina to win a low scoring contest, something to the tune of 20-17.

Pinstripe Bowl, Boston College vs. Penn State- The Nittany Lions make their glorious return to the postseason after a bowl ban due to the darkest hour in American sports history, the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Penn State has played really hard this season for first-year head coach James Franklin, and Boston College is in for a fight if they expect to win this game. Expect Penn State to come out on top though.

Holiday Bowl, Nebraska vs. USC- This game is basically the pretenders vs. the rollercoaster. Nebraska has played the role of pretender all season and USC has been as up and down as any team in the nation. The questions for this game are can USC stop the Nebraska rushing attack and can they throw the ball well enough? If they can do those two things, they will win this game as Nebraska is without a real head coach in this game due to the firing of Bo Pelini.
