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.

2012 Season Bowl Game Predictions

Well, it's the middle of December, and that can mean only one thing. It's time for bowl games!!! I am a Mizzou fan, so I'm not as fired up as I usually am this time of year. But, I am a huge college football fan, and for that reason I will trudge through the games and watch them, hoping to see some exciting action. A lot of people are saying that this year's bowl games lack the big games that many of the past years have had. I tend to think a little differently. Although there may not be the big match-ups, there are still really good teams playing against each other. I am going into this year's bowl games with an optimistic blind fold on. I always trust my gut, and my gut tells me that this will still be a great year for college bowl games with plenty of great games, and plenty of excitement.
