With the bowl season quickly approaching it's time to make the predictions for how well the Big 12 will fare this time around. With only one Big 12 team getting invited to the big money BCS bowls (Texas) it's clear most of the country believes the Big 12 is not as strong this year as it traditionally is. With that being said, this would be a great time to prove to the country that even when the Big 12 is supposedly down, it's still hosts more competitive teams than the overrated big 11 and pac 10 teams (like Iowa...give me a break). No matter what the rankings are at the end of the regular season, I'll always question the major conferences who don't have to play a conference championship game. It's so weak. Nevertheless, here are the predictions for the Big 12 teams in the upcoming bowl games:Independence Bowl, Aggies vs Georgia:
It's hard to pick against the Aggies, but when I do they usually win. I'll take Georgia in a higher scoring game 35-31
BCS National Championship Game, Texas vs Alabama:
This match up will showcase Alabama's great defense against a Texas Offense. The winner will be the team with the best run game. My pick goes to Alabama - The Heisman curse gets broken. Final score 24 - 13
Cotton Bowl, Oklahoma State vs Ole Miss
OSU will be looking to take out some revenge after a disasterous game in Norman. I'm taking OSU 31 - 24
Holiday Bowl, Nebraska vs Arizona:
Assuming Nebraska's Offense accidentially finds a way to score a touchdown (probably the result of being set up by the defense), Nebraska could win. But, that's probably not going to happen. Arizona wins in a low scoring game. 16 - 10
Sun Bowl, Oklahoma vs Stanford:
Oklahoma stops the run and wins. 27 - 17
Alamo Bowl, Texas Tech vs Michigan State:
It's hard to match up against Tech unless you play them every year. I'm taking tech 38 - 27
Insight Bowl, Iowa State vs Minnesota:
ATM beat ISU; however, Minnesota does play in the big 11. I'm taking ISU in an ugly game 24 - 21
Texas Bowl, Missouri vs Navy:
Missouri wins 31 - 21
Counting up the results puts the Big 12 at 5 wins and 3 losses

Some people have the gift, unfortunately you do not.
You know, the great thing about America is that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no matter how insignificant or stupid it is. Clearly you and your opinion are perfect examples of this.
