The Bowl season began this past Saturday and it started with kind of a thud. BYU, Northern Illinois, and Troy all won in big blow outs. We've covered the first 22 games in Part 1 and Part 2 of my bowl preview series.

This will be Part 3 with predictions all the way through the BCS title game. Let's get to the games!

Season Picks Overall: 77-44

Saturday 1/1

Ticket City Bowl
Northwestern (7-5) vs Texas Tech (7-5) ESPNU 12 PM

Both these teams are mediocre, but give the edge to Texas Tech because they are playing in Texas. This shouldn't be a New Year's day bowl.

All About Sports Prediction: Texas Tech 20 Northwestern 16

Outback Bowl
Penn State (7-5) vs Florida (7-5) ABC 1 PM

Who figured that Joe Paterno would back next year and Urban Meyer wouldn't be? Meyer is going to pull out all the stops to leave out a winner.

All About Sports Prediction: Florida 30 Penn State 23

Capital One Bowl
Michigan State (11-1) vs Alabama (9-3) ESPN 1 PM

These are two teams that came within a handful of plays of being BCS Teams. I'm not betting against Nick Saban with a month to prepare for a game.

All About Sports Prediction: Alabama 27 Michigan State 24

Gator Bowl
Michigan (7-5) vs Mississippi State (8-4) ESPN2 1:30 PM

Could you imagine what Miss. St. coach Dan Mullen could do if he had a player like Denard Robinson? I bet he'd have a better record than Rich Rod does. Michigan fans are close to running Rodriguez out of town.

All About Sports Prediction: Mississippi State 34 Michigang 27

Rose Bowl
Wisconsin (11-1) vs TCU (12-0) ESPN 5 PM

Oh boy am I looking forward to this one. Wisconsin brings in an offense that averages 43 points against TCU's number one ranked defense. This ought to be a fantastic game. 

All About Sports Prediction: Wisconsin 24 TCU 20

Fiesta Bowl
Oklahoma (11-2) vs Connecticut (8-4) ESPN 8:30 PM

Connecticut should be very proud that they are headed to a BCS game. For Oklahoma this has to be a let down of sorts. Nothing can be gained for the Sooners in this one. Win and they were supposed to win, lose and it would more embarrassing than the Boise St. loss of a few years ago.

All About Sports Prediction: Oklahoma 38 Connecticut 14

Monday 1/3

Orange Bowl
Virginia Tech (11-2) vs Stanford (11-1) ESPN 8 PM

This is another bowl game I can't wait for. I think Jim Harbaugh and his Stanford Cardinals are the best one loss team in the country. The Hokies possess QB Tyrod Taylor. He's playing extremely well right now.

All About Sports Prediction: Stanford 31 Virginia Tech 27

Tuesday 1/4

Sugar Bowl
Arkansas (10-2) vs Ohio State (11-1) ESPN 8:30

Will there be a better QB battle during the bowl season than this one? I don't think so. Arkansas's Ryna Mallet vs Ohio St.'s Terrelle Pyror. Ohio St.'s defense is better than Arkansas's and that will be the difference.

All About Sports Prediction: Ohio St. 30 Arkansas 24

Thursday 1/6

GoDaddy Bowl
Miami (Ohio) (9-4) vs Middle Tennessee State (6-6) ESPN 8 PM

Why are they playing this game? I saw Middle Tennessee State earlier this year when they played Georgia Tech. They made the Jackets defense look good. That's all you need to know.

All About Sports Prediction: Miami (Ohio) 37 Middle Tenn. 20

Friday 1/7

Cotton Bowl
Texas A&M (9-3) vs LSU (10-2) FOX 8 PM

The Aggies have won 6 games in a row and come into this game on a roll. LSU possess one of the country's best defense, and of course the wily Les Miles on the sidelines.

All About Sports Prediction: LSU 24 Texas A&M 17

Saturday 1/8

BBVA Compass Bowl
Pittsburgh (7-5) vs Kentucky (6-6) ESPN 12 PM

Dave Wannstedt is coaching his last game at Pittsburgh. Kentucky has some athletes, but don't underestimate the desire to win one for an outgoing coach.

All About Sports Prediction: Pittsburgh 21 Kentucky 17

Sunday 1/9

Kraft Hunger Bowl
Nevada (12-1) vs Boston College (7-5) ESPN 9 PM

This is not a bad appetizer for the National Title game. Nevada has their prolific offense and Boston College had the ACC's best defense. They feature All-American LB Luke Kuechly.

All About Sports Prediction: Nevada 28 Boston College 23 

Monday 1/10

BCS Title Game
Auburn (13-0) vs Oregon (12-0) ESPN 8:30 PM

This is the one for all the marbles the title game! I think Oregon is a great team, but here's the problem. It's Cam Newton. He can't be stopped and I'm telling you like I've said before if he wins put in him the Vince Young Tim Tebow category.

All About Sports Prediction: Auburn 33 Oregon 31
