6 Bowl Predictions for New Years Day

Though I started with 6 straight correct picks, Parker has gotten the last 6 correct. As we transition to 2013 with our bowl selections, Parker (14-9) leads me (13-10) by one game. He also would be leading the CBSSports.com panel were he on it.

Gator
Mississippi State (8-4) vs. Northwestern (9-3)
Parker's pick: Mississippi State
My pick: Northwestern
Parker's says Mississippi State's passing game is the key. I think Northwestern's running game is key.

Heart of Dallas
Purdue (6-6) vs. Oklahoma State (7-5)
Parker's pick: Oklahoma State
My pick: Oklahoma State
The Cowboys should have more than enough offense. We're thinking possible blowout.

Outback
South Carolina (10-2) vs. Michigan (8-4)
Parker's pick: Michigan
My pick: South Carolina
Parker thinks Michigan's pass defense will make an impact. I think South Carolina's defense is the key.

Capital One
Georgia (11-2) vs. Nebraska (10-3)
Parker's pick: Nebraska
My pick: Georgia
Again, Parker picks Nebraska based on defense. Georgia's played well all season in the powerful SEC.

Rose
Stanford (11-2) vs. Wisconsin (8-5)
Parker's pick: Stanford
My pick: Stanford
The Cardinal don't have the greatest looking team statistics but they simply win games.

Orange
Florida State (11-2) vs. Northern Illinois (12-1)
Parker's pick: Florida State
My pick: Florida State
Too much Seminoles. Northern Illinois is 12-1 but there are better teams playing in non-BCS bowls.
