2013 Season Bowl Game Predictions

It looks like it's time to end another great, and wacky season of college football. It looks like Alabama will not be playing for the National Championship game this year. Instead, it will be undefeated and undisputed #1 Florida State, against one of the biggest surprises of the season #2 Auburn. Last season my predictions didn't turn out so well as I finished with a record of 17-18. My biggest problem last year was that I chose my teams based on emotion instead of using rational, and objective thinking. This year, I will put my personal feelings aside for teams and make my predictions based on the teams and how they played this year. Also, instead of just saying who I think will win, I will actually give scores for each game. So without further adieu, here are my predictions for this year's bowl games.
