A win against a Pac 10 opponent, even if it is the #7 Pac 10 team, would do wonders for this program. This is Temple's first bowl game in many a year. UCLA is 1-4 S/U in their last 5 Bowl Games, and will not appreciate the freezing weather in RFK Stadium. Temple is the play here.
Stanford unexplainably lost to Cal,and now has lost their QB. Luck was a huge reason why Gerhart had such a great season. Luck was able to open up defenses with his passing. Without him, OU will play 8 in the box to stop Gerhart. 8 points is a lot to be giving a good Stanford team, but without Luck, this game is too risky for me to play.
I think Miami, Kentucky and South Florida are all solid plays. Arkansas, Texas Tech, Ga. Tech and Central Michigan are also very good plays. Gl this bowl season.
