Football Future-see Bowl Edition

Bowl Season is upon us once more, and for the final Football Future-see of 2008, we bring you 10 bowl games. Hopefully we'll go 10-0 this time and finally gain the perfection we sought all year. Hopefully...

BCS Championship Game: (1) Oklahoma vs. (2) Florida
Florida won the SEC. Oklahoma won the Big XII, and in the process scored 60 points or more in their last five games, an NCAA record. The trouble for Oklahoma is simple: they've never played a tough defense. TCU was tough on the Sooners, but the Gator "D" is far and away one of the fastest and most troublesome in the country. Sam Bradford would like to win the Heisman and the National Championship in the same year, but it just isn't meant to be.
Final Score: Florida 31, Oklahoma 24

Fiesta Bowl: (10) Ohio State vs. (3) Texas
Texas really wants to make an argument that they belong in the BCS National Title game, but their argument basically states that a Big XII team can play for the Championship without winning the conference but an SEC team cannot do the same. Colt McCoy is completing nearly 8 out of every 10 passes, and the Longhorn offense is rolling. Ohio State hasn't been the same since USC crushed them in September.
Final Score: Texas 28, Ohio State 13

Sugar Bowl: (6) Utah vs. (4) Alabama
The Crimson Tide come into this game angry. They won all season until clashing with Florida. Now, much like Georgia last season, the Tide finds itself in a BCS Bowl against a Non-BCS Conference opponent, something that seems to happen a lot. It's almost as if the NCAA doesn't want the SEC playing against other BCS Conferences. Alabama will take the Utes apart thanks in large part to winning the battle along the line.
Final Score: Alabama 31, Utah 17

Rose Bowl: (5) USC vs. (8) Penn State
USC has, perhaps, the toughest defense in the country. Penn State has what they call the "Spread HD" offense. All of this means nothing. USC will dominate the game again. Joe Pa has already stated that he'll be back for his 910th season as the Nittany Lions coach. The Trojans have already stated that they'd like to be the NFL team in Los Angeles.
Final Score: USC 38, Penn State 14

Orange Bowl: (12) Cincinnati vs. (19) Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech overcame Boston College to win the ACC, and somehow, in the Big East, which can only be described using the word "cluster," Cincinnati came out on top. The Bearcats have never been to a BCS bowl, and we think that after this trip, their BCS record will be 0-1.
Final Score: Virginia Tech 38, Cincinnati 20

Capital One Bowl: (15) Georgia vs. (18) Michigan State
Two of the nations premier running backs will be on display in this game. MSU's Javon Ringer challenged Beanie Wells as the best running back in the Big Ten, and Knowshon Moreno led Georgia's ground game in all aspects, making more than a few highlight reel runs along the way. Georgia's defense has been a bit suspect lately, and the offensive line was patchwork at best all season. But this could be Moreno and UGA QB Matthew Stafford's last game as Bulldogs, so they'll make it count.
Final Score: Georgia 28, Michigan State 17

Chick-fil-A Bowl: (14) Georgia Tech vs. LSU
Georgia Tech puts up points in bunches. They rattled off 409 rushing yards against UGA, winning 45-42. LSU just couldn't seem to find the track this years, and when they did, they couldn't stay on it. Uncertainty at QB didn't help the Tigers. Georgia Tech will bring the option offense in full force.
Final Score: Georgia Tech 34, LSU 17

Cotton Bowl: (7) Texas Tech vs. (25) Ole Miss
Texas Tech has one of the most potent offenses ever assembled in college football history. That said, they really didn't play any big time defenses this year. Ole Miss, however, after playing in the SEC, played a big time defense almost every week. That's the difference between the conferences. But in the end, Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree will be out to prove they deserved better than the Cotton Bowl.
Final Score: Texas Tech 34, Ole Miss 17

Poinsettia Bowl: (9) Boise State vs. (11) TCU
Here's a game the features two teams that deserved much better fates than this. Boise State was 12-0 and #9 in the BCS rankings, but the Fiesta Bowl passed on the Broncos in favors of 10-2 Ohio State. TCU has perhaps the most stout defense in the country. They even gave Oklahoma a scare. Boise State will likely let their emotions get the best of them, and TCU will capitalize on every mistake.
Final Score TCU 28, Boise State 20

International Bowl: Buffalo vs. Connecticut
This is the only the second time in Buffalo's 107 year history as a program that they've been invited to a bowl game. They were invited to the 1958 Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, but after being told that the 2 black athletes on the team were NOT invited, the rest of the players refused in invitation. Buffalo came out of nowhere to upset previously unbeaten Ball State in the MAC Championship Game. Now they face a fairly tough opponent in UCONN. But the joy of a first bowl trip gives the Bulls the edge.
Final Score: Buffalo 30, Connecticut 21
