Athlon Bowl Predictions

Athlon picks Nebraska to play Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.

 

I would take it, and that thing would sell out in about 2 1/2 minutes.

 

Interesting matchups:

 

They pick Tennessee to make a bowl game, playing GTech in the MusicCity Bowl

They think Missouri is going to have a rough welcoming in the SEC, meeting up with Cincy in the Compass bowl.

Athlon also believes Wyoming and Arkansas State go bowling this season.

If Missouri wins all 3 non con games, they have to find 3 wins in SEC play to get bowl eligibility. Doubtful.

4 non con games. I though SEC teams only had 3. Anyway, even if they win all 4, they might get 2. What about A&M? We thought we had trouble in our first year adjusting to a new conference. What about these 2 in the SEC, whom arent used to playing any defense?

I guess I don't think Missouri sucks as much as some of you do. I think they'll also have a good chance against Arizona State, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.

This ^^. I agree Missouri has a puncher's chance in those games. Missouri though will be hard pressed to find 8 wins this season and it wouldn't surprise me if they go 6-6.

 

I think they win the games Sam Spade bolded and I think they spilt the games (go 2-2) you mentioned Mor.

Are you saying I suck more than Missouri?

im not putting too much stock into that.... long season.. played that game before and got burned...... lets see what happens... though lets me honest it is fun to speculate.....

[Hoosker]

It's always nice to see hype for your team. Makes you feel like they see something in them that maybe you don't / haven't yet.

 

It'd be pretty cool to go to a BCS bowl. A conference title is long overdue for this program.

The only game I'd say is a sure loss there is Bama.

I don't know, I'd add A&M and SC as sure losses for Mizzwho.

The teams with strong D Lines will beat Mizzou: So Car, Bama, Florida. Toss ups are UGA, Tenn and A&M IMO
