SEC West Bowl Game Prediction Thread
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2015 9:37 am
Alabama v Michigan State: I think Bama beats MSU is a closer game than the experts think because of QB play.
Alabama v Clemson/OU: I think Bama beats either of those team relatively easy.**
Ole Miss v Oklahoma State: Interesting match-up. Based on the OM bowl prep last year, it is hard to predict this game. They are playing well but the layoff can change things - for better or worse. With many of the big name players either one foot out the door or trying to solidify draft spots, it is hard to predict too. I have heard RK will be academically ineligible in all likelihood - so there is that too. I am going to predict OSU in a close, high scoring game.
MSU v NC State - Rematch of an early 1990s Peach Bowl. State wins ugly and Dak has a big game.
Auburn v Memphis - Auburn...Memphis' coach is gone.
Texas A&M v Louisville - I think Louisville wins because the Aggies are horrible.
Arkansas v Kansas State - Even though Arky has played good down the stretch, I think Kansas State pulls out the win.
LSU v Texas Tech - The melt continues. I think Fournette runs for about 250 yards, but Texas Tech outscores LSU to win a high scoring affair wherein special teams, ineffective passing offense and pass defense continue to plague LSU.
**I am interested to see how Smart leaving will affect, if at all, the prospects for Bama. I think it has little to no effect, but it is interesting nevertheless.
