What to look for in the Bowls-
Gildan New Mexico Bowl Arizona vs New Mexico- LB Scooby Wright III is a legit NFL prospect that may be undersized but gets lots of production from being the heart and soul of the Arizona Wildcats. Look out for him. December 19th 2015
Boca Raton Bowl Temple vs Toledo- Two teams who were quietly ranked among the Top 25, clash in Boca Raton, Florida. December 22nd 2015
Military Bowl Navy vs Pittsburgh- QB Keenan Reynolds could make the transition if he makes the NFL. Possibly not as a QB but a running back could be another option for him as he is a scoring machine. He is the top prospect to watch along with stud WR Tyler Boyd from Pitt. December 28th 2015
Russell Athletic Bowl North Carolina vs Baylor- WR Corey Coleman could be the top receiver in his class. Kind of a stretch but with the production he has had at Baylor, it’s a no brainer. North Carolina has some intriguing prospects in QB Marquise Williams and WR Ryan Switzer. Carolina may win this one due to the QB situation in Waco. December 29th 2015
Chick Fil A Peach Bowl Florida State vs Houston- VERY INTRIGUING GAME!! QB Greg Ward Jr for Houston is a dual threat nightmare and could potentially take down the Seminoles in bowl fashion! I’m taking the Cougars over the Sems! December 31th 2015
College Football Playoff Games-
Oklahoma vs Clemson- Capital One Orange Bowl
Alabama vs Michigan State- Goodyear Cotton Bowl
Championship Game-
January 11th 2016
