This will be my last official article for numonefan.com because my internship is ending. I thank everyone who has been reading along and hope you enjoyed my writing. I leave you with my bowl predictions for all the games coming up in December and January.

Jan. 7 BCS National Title Game: Texas vs. Alabama – Alabama

I think this will be a great championship game and close all the way through. In the end I think Alabama gets one more defensive stop than Texas will and win the game by less than a touchdown. Nick Saban will take home his first National Title with Alabama in only his third season with them.

Jan. 5 FedEx Orange Bowl: Iowa vs. Georgia Tech – Iowa

The Hawkeyes strength is their defense and I think they will be able to stop the Yellow jackets triple option offense and be able to score enough against Georgia Tech’s defense to win.

Jan. 4 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: Boise State vs. TCU – TCU

TCU is a team that I love. They play great defense and with Ben Dalton at QB have had a really good offense this year. Boise State will have a lot of tricks up their sleeve but I don’t think it will be enough. TCU will finish up undefeated but without a national title like Utah last year.

Jan. 1 All State Sugar Bowl: Florida vs. Cincinnati – Florida

I expect the Gators to be ready in Tim Tebow’s final collegiate game. Cincinnati will be trying for perfection but I expect Brian Kelly’s squad to go down in a very good game.

Jan. 1 Rose Bowl Game: Ohio State vs. Oregon – Oregon

The Ducks are my pick in this one. Ohio State has struggled in the big bowl games and I expect that to continue this year. Chip Kelly did a great job of keeping his players focused after their loss week one to Boise State. I think they win in a close game.
