Here are our picks for today's early games:
TicketCity Bowl- Houston vs. Penn State
Houston is in transition as coach Kevin Sumlin is gone to coach Texas A&M. With 6th year senior Case Keenum leading the offense, the Cougars can score lots of points. Penn State is awash in controversy.
Parker's pick: Houston
My pick: Houston
TicketCity is an online reseller of tickets to sports and entertainment tickets, not a new nickname for the city of Dallas where this game is being played.
Outback Bowl- Michigan State vs. Georgia
Two strong schools from two strong conferences, two teams that lost in their conference championship games. On paper, this is one of the more even matchups of bowl season.
Parker's pick: Michigan State
My pick: Georgia
Outback steakhouse and Tampa...a good combination.
Capital One Bowl- Nebraska vs. South Carolina
Nebraska is back among the top teams in college football after being away for a few seasons. South Carolina is as good a program as its ever been. South Carolina has a strong defense but will miss Marcus Lattimore who is out with a season-ending injury.
Parker's pick: South Carolina
My pick: Nebraska
Expect lots of commercials asking "What's in your wallet?"
TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl- Ohio State vs. Florida
Two teams from power conferences. Two teams that finished 6-6 overall and 3-5 in conference. Two teams connected to Urban Meyer. Florida's speed should make the difference.
Parker's pick: Florida ("even though they're not our favorite team")
My pick: Florida
TaxSlayer is an online filer of tax returns with Dale Earnhardt Jr. as its spokesman. Expect to see lots of Little E commercials if you watch this game.
Overall bowl record:
Parker: 17-6
Me: 14-9
