Top 3 Non-BCS Bowls

                Top 3 Non-BCS Bowls
       3. Outback Bowl 
Michigan vs South Carolina Jan. 1 
South Carolina had a tough year with injuries. The Gamecocks lost Marcus Lattimore early in the season. However, the Gamecocks have managed to win 10 games with QB Connor Shaw. Michigan has had a rough season. It all started with the loss to Alabama in Week 1. The Wolverines never really caught stride after that going 8-4.
My Pick: South Carolina 33 Michigan 24
          2. Chick-fil-a Bowl
LSU vs Clemson Dec. 31
This game is "Tigers vs Tigers" and "Death Valley vs Death Valley." One thing that we will definitely see in this game is plenty of talent. LSU is lead by its defensive line. I think that Sam Montgomery will have a huge game for LSU. DeAndre Hopkins and Sammy Watkins will be the key for Clemson. The two WRs had very good years. If Tajh Boyd and them get on the same page, they are a very tough team to beat. This game is my upset pick of the Bowl Season. I feel this game can go either way.
Clemson 20 LSU 17
1. AT&T Cotton Bowl
Texas A&M vs Oklahoma Jan. 4
This is Texas A&M's first game against a BIG 12 opponent since they moved to the SEC this year. Everybody expected a down year, but thanks to a sensational Freshman named Johnny Manziel and head coach Kevin Sumlin, the Aggies fared well in the SEC. This will be Landry jones's last game as a Sooner. He hopes to go out on a win. However, I think that A&M's offense is too strong. My X Factor in the game is Texas A&M Senior WR Ryan Swope. I think that Swope will put up good numbers in his last game wearing an Aggie uniform.
Texas A&M 34 Oklahoma 30
