Charles Bowl Picks Part III

God bless you, BCS, for these terrible games.

Rose Bowl: USC vs. Penn St.
Penn State is a pretty good team, but it doesn't matter. Pete Carroll in bowl games: tough. USC's defense: tough. Southern Cal will smother Penn State like an unwanted baby.
My pick: USC

Orange Bowl: Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech
Brian Kelly, another proven winner Auburn didn't even seriously look at. Cincinnati lost to Oklahoma, no surprise, and a bizarre blow-out to Connecticut. Virginia Tech is from the ACC, which laughs at our puny notions of logic or quality football teams. I am surprised that Cincinnati is even a slight favorite, given the name advantage.
My pick: CINCY

Sugar Bowl: Utah vs. Alabama
Our only hope is that Alabama is still down from losing the SEC title game and not going to the national championship game. Alabama's not as good as they look -- Florida was the only really good they played, and Alabama lost fairly handily to them. But, they're better than Utah.
My pick:alabama

Fiesta Bowl: Texas vs. Ohio St.
If Texas is all pouty, they deserve to lose this game. But I expect Brown to have them ready to go, hoping to win an AP title maybe? No, that's stupid. But they're still better than OSU, who is already 0-2 against good teams this season.
My pick:TEX

BCS National Championship Game: Oklahoma vs. Florida
Tebow can do no wrong -- when he graduates, all those Filipino foreskins he cut off will be put together using stem cells, and they will be cloned into a near-perfect replica, another Tebow except this one is much more sensitive. Oklahoma will score a lot, but not quite as much as they usually do, and Florida will score a little more.
My pick: UF
