Winners (1) Miami over (16) Syracuse (2) Tennessee over (15) South Carolina (3) Nebraska over (14) Washington (4) Colorado over (13) Washington St. (5) Oregon over (12) BYU (6) Florida over (11) Oklahoma (7) Texas over (10) Maryland (9) Stanford over (8) Illinois This round: Orange Bowl (1) Miami vs. (8) Stanford I'll actually take Stanford here... Miami doesn't look great away from home, and Stanford's versatility on offense could give them problems. Stanford 31, Miami 28 Citrus Bowl (2) Tennessee vs. (7) Texas Let's assume Major starts, since he's starting the bowl game. If he does, we shouldn't have many mistakes, and talent would win out. Tennessee has struggled at times this season. Texas 23, Tennessee 17 Outback Bowl (3) Nebraska vs. (6) Florida Are you kidding me? After watching Nebraska's defense give up 62 points to Colorado, who knows what kind of numbers Rex Grossman and his crew could put up. Florida 38, Nebraska 20 galleryfurniture.com Bowl (for fun) (4) Colorado vs. (5) Oregon Great game here, but Oregon is too inconsistent in the early going. Yeah, Joey Harrington works wonders in the 4th quarter, but against CU you have to play good early to be in the game. Colorado 24, Oregon 19 Post your picks below...
I'll take Miami in the Orange Bowl - that essentially IS their home. Tennessee, Florida, and Oregon for the rest of the winners.
I'd pick Miami, Texas, Nebraska, and Colorado, even though I don't think 3 Big 12 teams would make it that far. Nebraska has a pretty good pass defense, while Florida's run defense was also exposed against Tennessee. I say Nebraska runs all over Florida and wins.
MIAMI over stanford [the smart kids lose] TEXAS over tennessee [simms starts at FS and is responsible for an interception on every ball thrown by tennessee; sort of like cris carter, "all he does is cause interceptions!"] COLORADO over oregon [ou and schmoey harrington get exposed] NEBRASKA over florida [spurrier curls up into the fetal position on the sideline as flashbacks of tommy frazier dance in his head]
Miami Tennessee Florida Colorado TheCat and Rocketman95: what is the matter with you? Picking Stanford.....YEESH!!!!!!!
Miami Texas (only behind Major if simm starts I'm going with Tennessee) Florida Colorado If Simms starts for Tennessee, UTexas wins by 30.
