Chik-Fil-A Bowl –  Auburn vs. Clemson – These two coaches went from leading candidates for the Arkansas job, to getting long-term contract extensions.  This will be a battle of Clemson’s offense featuring Cullen Harper, James Davis, and C.J. Spiller vs. Will Muschamp’s Auburn defense, led by Quentin Groves.  If Auburn’s defense shows up against Clemson’s rushing offense like they did against Arkansas, it could be a long day for the Tigers.

Outback Bowl – Wisconsin vs. Tennessee – Tennessee is coming off a disappointing loss to LSU in the SEC Championship game and Wisconsin is coming off a disappointing season, where expectations were at an all time high.  With a preseason ranking in the top 5, Wisconsin’s defense proved to be their downfall in conference.  In their three losses, Wisconsin gave up an average of over 33 ppg while only scoring 16 ppg.  Look for Tennessee to run and run often with Arian Foster and force Tyler Donovan to beat them with the pass and keep P.J. Hill contained.

Cotton Bowl – Missouri vs. Arkansas – Which Heisman Trophy candidate will have the bigger day?  Chase Daniel has been superb all year and with Arkansas’s less than spectacular secondary, look for Missouri to score some points.  Darren McFadden and Felix Jones will look to be as effective as Patrick and Brown for Oklahoma were in the Big 12 Championship game, and with the success of the running game all year, I don’t foresee that to be an issue.

Gator Bowl – Virginia vs. Texas Tech – Virginia gives up 18.8 ppg while Texas Tech puts up 41.8 ppg.  So what gives here?  Chris Long will give Texas Tech fits all day, but the Red Raiders will surely utilize double teams to control him, if that’s even possible.  Graham Harrell will be looking for Crabtree and Amendola almost every play and since Virginia hasn’t played anyone with the type of high power offense that Texas Tech has, don’t be surprised if Texas Tech doesn’t reach close to their average in points.
