SEC West Bowl Game Prediction Thread

[Deltamud77]

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.

I envision a hat rack next to Kirbys office door. It has a UGA hat and a Bama hat.

I agree...there is only so much time in a day.
.I think he will do great at UGA. I was hoping that he would be the heir to Saban, but the UGA job was the one he wanted and would probably not leave for.

I wondered the same thing about Smart but watching his intensity in the championship game changed my mind. I do understand that all the outside stuff mentioned could effect him even if he is trying to give 100% to Bama for now.
