OREGON VS WISCONSIN | 1/01 | 5:00 PM EST
11:23 AM
ROSE BOWL -- When last these teams met in the Rose Bowl eight years ago, 83 points were scored. Oregon was involved in a 79-point game three years later. Totals for the three subsequent bowls: 61, 101, 102. Something about the postcard setting brings out the best in offenses. The cornerstones of these units are Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor and Oregon QB Justin Hebert, both as good as it gets. The Badgers have gone Over in four of their last five outings, the Ducks five of their previous seven.

OUTBACK BOWL -- Auburn’s body of work this season is sneaky impressive: three losses to top 10 teams (AP poll) by a combined 21 points, capped by a win over Alabama. Minnesota’s was, too, but against a considerably easer schedule. The Gophers’ offense is all about big-play WRs Tyler Johnson and Rashod Bateman, but the Tigers limited foes to 5.9 yards per pass attempt, fifth-best in the FBS. NFL-bound DLs Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson elected to play for Auburn. Tigers QB Bo Nix no longer resembles the freshman that he is.

GEORGIA VS BAYLOR | 1/01 | 8:45 PM EST
YESTERDAY 6:05 PM
SUGAR BOWL -- In my opinion, Georgia and Baylor are very similar, especially on defense. I like how aggressive they are on the perimeter and how their front seven swarm to the ball. This game ultimately will come down to offense, and while both teams have the ability to run the ball, I like Baylor's passing game just a bit more than Georgia's. That will be the difference in a very tight contest.

OREGON VS WISCONSIN | 1/01 | 5:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 5:57 PM
ROSE BOWL -- I like the line-of-scrimmage matchup in this game. The Ducks have arguably the best OL in the country and will be going up against Wisconsin's tenacious defensive front. On the flip side, the athletic and lengthy DL of Oregon will have to show its down-to-down strength against the Badgers' OL and RB Jonathan Taylor. I totally understand why this line is a close one, but I like the Ducks on both sides of the ball and see them pulling off the win.

OUTBACK BOWL -- The biggest question in this game will be if the Golden Gophers' interior OL can hold up against Auburn's defensive front. DT Derrick Brown plays like a man on fire and could find himself in Minnesota's backfield often. The Gophers have some playmakers on offense, but I don't know if the QB will have time to get them the ball often enough.

MICHIGAN VS ALABAMA | 1/01 | 1:00 PM EST

CITRUS BOWL -- I look forward to seeing a defensive struggle in this game, but the Crimson Tide has an advantage worth at least a touchdown on offense. Alabama has the most dynamic quartet of receivers in college football, and all will be playing in this game. The defensive matchup is a wash, so getting enough from the playmakers will be the difference.
