There are two bowl games over the next three days (tonight's Sheraton Hawaii Bowl and Monday's AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl) and then the pace of bowl season picks up significantly.
Sheraton Hawaii Bowl:
Nevada has racked up the yardage against lesser opponents and works from the fun-to-watch pistol attack offense but they only finished with a 7-5 record. Southern Miss is nationally ranked at 11-1, has a potent offense as well and just knocked Houston out of a BCS bowl game. However, USM's coach Larry Fedora is on his way out the door to coach North Carolina. Fedora's coming departure could make things difficult for Southern Miss but my guess is the players want to prove they're the reason for USM's success not just Fedora.
Parker's pick: Southern Miss ("It's pretty obvious they're going to win")
My pick: Southern Miss
Don't remember ever staying in a Sheraton but would love to go to Hawaii.
AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl:
This game involves two teams in transition- Missouri is headed to the SEC while UNC will have a new head coach after this game. Missouri, led by sophomore QB James Franklin, a dual run-pass threat, had to win 3 straight games to get to this bowl while North Carolina waits for Larry Fedora to arrive from Southern Mississippi.
Parker's pick: Missouri
My pick: Missouri
I had to look this up but AdvoCare V100 is a multivitamin.
Overall bowl record:
Parker: 4-2
Me: 4-2
