Prediction: North Carolina 38, Rutgers 35
Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl (Saint Peterburg, FL, Dec. 26, 8:00 PM, ESPN)

Summary: The Wolfpack had a turnaround season after finishing 3-9 last year, in large part to junior quarterback and Florida transfer Jacoby Brissett (2,344 yards passing, 22 TD, 5 INT; 498 yards rushing, 3 TD). UCF had an exciting season, capped by a Hail Mary to beat East Carolina. They've been carried by their defense, led by senior linebacker Terrance Plummer (90 tackles, 4 sacks, 1 INT).
Prediction: N.C. State 27, Central Florida 24
Military Bowl Presented By Northrop Grumman (Annapolis, MD, Dec. 27, 1:00 PM, ESPN)

Season Results:
Cincinnati Virginia Tech vs. Top 25: 0-1 vs. Top 25: 1-1

Rush Defense: 80th (181.5 yards/game) Rush Defense: 41st (144.8 yards/game)
Summary: The Bearcats had another successful season culminating in a share of the American, largely due to sophomore quarterback and Notre Dame transfer Gunner Kiel (3,010 yards passing, 30 TD, 11 INT), who had a wonderful season, including a six-touchdown performance in the season opener. Virginia Tech has struggled after a big road win over Ohio State in the second week of the season, especially on offense. They are led defensively by sophomore cornerback Kendall Fuller (50 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 INT), the younger brother of Bears corner Kyle and Lions receiver Corey.
Prediction: Virginia Tech 28, Cincinnati 24
Hyundai Sun Bowl (El Paso, TX, Dec. 27, 2:00 PM, CBS)
#15 Arizona State Sun Devils (9-3, 6-3 PAC-12, 2nd PAC-12 South) vs. Duke Blue Devils (9-5, 5-3 ACC, 2nd ACC Coastal)
Season Results:
Arizona State Duke vs. Top 25: 2-2 vs. Top 25: 1-0
vs. Bowl Teams: 5-2 vs. Bowl Teams: 2-3
Rankings:
Arizona State Duke
Passing: 29th (276.3 yards/game) Passing: 77th (214.9 yards/game)

Summary: Arizona State almost got to the PAC-12 championship game, falling to rival Arizona 42-35 for the PAC-12 South title. The quarterback position has been a bit shaky for the Sun Devils, but junior wide receiver Jaelen Strong (1,062 yards receiving, 10 TD) and junior running back D.J. Foster (1,002 yards rushing, 9 TD; 646 yards receiving, 3 TD) have helped power the offense. Duke built off a 10-win season last year, making it to a bowl game in two straight seasons for the first time ever. Senior receiver Jamison Crowder (942 yards receiving, 6 TD) and senior linebacker David Helton (125 tackles, 2 sacks) are big reasons why.
Prediction: Arizona State 34, Duke 28
Duck Commander Independence Bowl (Shreveport, LA, Dec. 27, 3:30 PM, ABC)
Miami Hurricanes (6-6, 3-5 ACC, 5th ACC Coastal) vs. South Carolina Gamecocks (6-6, 3-5 SEC, 4th SEC East)

Rush Defense: 39th (143.9 yards/game) Rush Defense: 106th (214.4 yards/game)
Summary: Miami and South Carolina both came into the season with high expectations and didn't meet them. However, there are some positives. Miami true freshman quarterback Brad Kaaya (2,962 yards passing, 25 TD, 11 INT) was a breakout star, junior running back Duke Johnson (1,520 yards rushing, 10 TD; 370 yards receiving, 3 TD) became Miami's all-time leading rusher, senior linebacker Denzel Perryman (102 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 1 INT) led a strong defense, and senior tight end Clive Walford (676 yards receiving, 7 TD) is one of the best in the country (and has a great name). South Carolina had one of the best all-purpose players in the country in sophomore receiver Pharoh Cooper (966 yards receiving, 8 TD; 198 yards rushing, 2 TD; 78 yards passing, 2 TD), who also has a great name.
Prediction: South Carolina 34, Miami 30

Pass Defense: 47th (218 yards/game) Pass Defense: 10th (185 yards/game)
Rush Defense: 4th (95.5 yards/game) Rush Defense: 1st (84.8 yards/game)
Summary: This is sure to be a defensive battle, as both teams are among the best in the nation in rush defense and total defense. Penn State has the Big Ten's best linebacker in senior Mike Hull (132 tackles, 2 sacks). Boston College has some threats offensively, including dual-threat senior quarterback Tyler Murphy (1,526 yards passing, 11 TD, 10 INT; 1,079 yards rushing, 10 TD) and true freshman running back John Hilliman (712 yards rushing, 12 TD). Penn State has struggled offensively due to inconsistent sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg (2,606 yards passing, 8 TD, 15 INT).
Prediction: Boston College 27, Penn State 20

Season Results:
Nebraska USC
vs. Top 25: 0-3 vs. Top 25: 1-3
vs. Bowl Teams: 5-3 vs. Bowl Teams: 4-4 Rankings:
Nebraska USC
Passing: 89th (198 yards/game) Passing: 15th (294.6 yards/game)

Rush Defense: 78th (176.5 yards/game) Rush Defense: 27th (132.5 yards/game)
Summary: Nebraska will be led by interim coach Barney Cotton after the firing of Bo Pelini and hiring of Mike Riley. Nebraska has been pretty strong defensively and is powered offensively by senior running back Ameer Abdullah (1,523 yards rushing, 18 TD; 208 yards receiving, 3 TD). USC has one of the better passing offenses in the country thanks to junior quarterback Cody Kessler (3,505 yards passing, 36 TD, 4 INT) and junior wide receiver Nelson Agholor (1,223 yards receiving, 11 TD).
Prediction: USC 34, Nebraska 28
AutoZone Liberty Bowl (Memphis, TN, Dec. 29, 2:00 PM, ESPN)
Texas A&M Aggies (7-5, 3-5 SEC, 6th SEC West) vs. West Virginia Mountaineers 7-5, 5-4 Big 12, 5th)
Season Results:
Texas A&M West Virginia
vs. Top 25: 1-4 vs. Top 25: 1-3
vs. Bowl Teams: 4-5 vs. Bowl Teams: 3-5 Rankings:
Texas A&M West Virginia
Passing: 12th (306.4 yards/game) Passing: 9th (314.6 yards/game)

Pass Defense: 60th (225.5 yards/game) Pass Defense: 61st (226 yards/game)
Rush Defense: 111th (223.5 yards/game) Rush Defense: 67th (162.6 yards/game)
Summary: This is sure to be a shootout as both of these teams have prolific passing offenses. Both teams, however, have gone through bumps in the road at quarterback. Texas A&M benched Kenny Hill, who looked really good the first few weeks, for freshman Kyle Allen (1,028 yards passing, 12 TD, 6 INT), and West Virginia quarterback Clint Trickett retired due to concussions, meaning sophomore Skyler Howard (483 yards passing,5 TD) will start the bowl game. He'll have one of the best wide receivers in the nation in senior Kevin White (1,318 yards receiving, 9 TD).
Prediction: West Virginia 42, Texas A&M 38
Russell Athletic Bowl (Orlando, FL, Dec. 29, 5:30 PM, ESPN)
Oklahoma Sooners (8-4, 5-4 Big 12, 4th) vs. #17 Clemson Tigers (9-3, 6-2 ACC, 2nd in ACC Atlantic)
Season Results:

Pass Defense: 110th (272.7 yards/game) Pass Defense: 3rd (161.9 yards/game)
Rush Defense: 10th (109.6 yards/game) Rush Defense: 7th (97.7 yards/game)
Summary: Both of these teams have some very talented young players. Unfortunately for the Mountaineers, freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson (1,466 yards passing, 14 TD, 2 INT; 200 yards rushing, 5 TD) will not play while recovering from knee surgery. That means senior Cole Stoudt (1,573 yards passing, 6 TD, 10 INT) will lead the Tigers against Oklahoma, who is led by freshman running back Samaje Perine (1,579 yards rushing, 21 TD), who broke the single game record for rushing yards against Kansas (427). Clemson has a suffocating defense, led by senior defensive end and ACC Defensive Player of the Year Vic Beasley (28 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 11 sacks).
Prediction: Clemson 35, Oklahoma 28
AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl (Houston, TX, Dec. 29, 9:00 PM, ESPN)

Rush Defense: 22nd (124 yards/game) Rush Defense: 66th (162.1 yards/game)
Summary: Arkansas and Texas will revive an old rivalry in the Texas Bowl. Charlie Strong's squad is quarterbacked by sophomore Tyrone Swoopes (2,352 yards passing, 13 TD, 10 INT; 294 yards rushing, 3 TD), who's favorite target is senior wide receiver John Harris (1,015 yards receiving, 7 TD). Arkansas finished 28th in the nation in rushing thanks to the one-two punch of junior Jonathan Williams (1,085 yards rushing, 11 TD) and sophomore Alex Collins (1,024 yards rushing, 12 TD). Texas has one of the best pass defenses in the country, while Arkansas is among the better rush defenses.
Prediction: Arkansas 34, Texas 31

Rush Defense: 64th (161.7 yards/game) Rush Defense: 38th (143.5 yards/game)
Summary: These teams were each expected to contend for a playoff spot at the beginning of the season, but faded after hot starts. Notre Dame senior quarterback Everett Golson (3,355 yards passing, 29 TD, 14 INT; 277 yards rushing, 8 TD, 8 fumbles) was a Heisman candidate at midseason, but will now be splitting time with sophomore Malik Zaire (170 yards passing; 91 yards rushing, 1 TD). LSU's offense has also been a bit messy, although true freshman running back Leonard Fournette (891 yards rushing, 8 TD) led a strong committee of running backs. LSU's defense, however, has been a strength.
Prediction: LSU 28, Notre Dame 20
Belk Bowl (Charlotte, NC, Dec. 30, 6:30 PM, ESPN)

Rush Defense: 76th (175.6 yards/game) Rush Defense: 3rd (93.7 yards/game)
Summary: The always-punny Belk Bowl features two very good teams. Georgia is led by a strong rushing attack (freshman running back Nick Chubb: 1,281 yards rushing, 12 TD) and one of the nation's best pass defenses. Louisville is led by a consensus first round pick in next year's NFL Draft (senior wide receiver DeVonte Parker: 735 yards receiving, 5 TD) and one of the best defenses in the nation (sophomore safety Gerod Holliman won the Jim Thorpe Award as the country's best defensive back and tied an NCAA record with 14 interceptions).
Prediction: Georgia 27, Louisville 21
Foster Farms Bowl (Santa Clara, CA, Dec. 30, 10:00 PM, ESPN)

Rush Defense: 97th (201.6 yards/game) Rush Defense: 11th (111.8 yards/game)
Summary: Stanford will basically be playing a home game, and playing against a mediocre Maryland team. The Terps are guided by senior quarterback C.J. Brown (2,083 yards passing, 13 TD, 9 INT; 569 yards rushing, 7 TD) and junior wide receiver Stefon Diggs (654 yards receiving, 5 TD), who returns from a lacerated spleen he suffered on November 1st. Stanford has a stout defense and an efficient quarterback in senior Kevin Hogan (2,603 yards passing, 17 TD, 8 INT; 245 yards rushing, 5 TD).
Prediction: Stanford 28, Maryland 13
Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl (Atlanta, GA, Dec. 31, 12:30 PM, ESPN)

Rush Defense: 29th (133.6 yards/game) Rush Defense: 13th (117.1 yards/game)
Summary: The Peach Bowl features two teams just left out of the playoff. It will be a good battle between Ole Miss's strong defense (senior cornerback Senquez Golson is a first-team All-American and has nine picks) and TCU junior quarterback Trevone Boykin (3,714 yards passing, 30 TD, 7 INT; 642 yards rushing, 8 TD). It will also be an entertaining quarterback matchup between Boykin and Ole Miss senior quarterback Bo Wallace (3,085 yards passing, 22 TD, 11 INT).
Prediction: TCU 42, Ole Miss 35
