Book your travel now!

I’ve bemoaned many a bowl prediction. They are filled with conflicted assumptions and often ignore things like ticket sales and conference politics.

So here is my service to you -- a lock solid, 100% guarantee bowl prediction from Eagle in Atlanta. Book your travel today!!!*

Bowl	Matchup	Logic
Rose	USC-Texas	I just don’t see either losing. I like Va Tech but think there is too much ground to make up.
Fiesta	UCLA-Va Tech	UCLA is a rollercoaster, but if they finish with one-loss to ‘SC it will be hard to keep them out.
Sugar	West Virginia-Georgia	An Atlanta Sugar Bowl is an easy sellout with an SEC champ, so the Katrina subs take one for the team and host the unappealing Big East champ.
Orange	Ohio State-Alabama	Both of these teams could easily stumble before getting here, but they travel well and should provide a good TV draw.
Capital One	Penn State-Auburn	PSU fans will be one of the many claiming they got screwed on the BCS bid.
Cotton	Texas Tech-LSU	Miles goes against his old Big XII foes. Tigers fans worry about the inevitable blown lead.
Gator	Notre Dame-Boston College	A boy can dream. Either BC or Miami is going to get shafted on Bowl placement. Obviously I am hoping we luck out.
Outback	Iowa-Florida	This feels awfully Zookish, doesn’t it Florida fans?.
Houston	Baylor-Minnesota	The extra SEC rep in the BCS makes it hard for the SEC to fill its slot.
Liberty	UTEP-Miami (Fla)	This is my biggest leap. But I think Miami might go for the bigger payday and a different bowl. Highly unlikely, so book now!
Meineke	Clemson-UConn	This should be Rutgers, but I just can’t put any faith in them.
Peach	Tennessee-FSU	Not where either team thought they would finish the season.
Independence	Mizzou-South Carolina	Someone has to play in this. I don’t think I’ll Tivo it.
Sun	Arizona State-Michigan State	I think both teams will be playing in bigger bowls next year.
Music City	Vandy-Wisconsin	Vandy returns to the postseason and gets to travel…across town.
Alamo	Michigan-Oklahoma	FYI Michigan bloggers – there’s no basement in the Alamo.
Holiday	Nebraska-Oregon	I was tempted to put Cal, but don’t think they will get invited back two years in a row.
Emerald	Oregon State-Wyoming	Wyoming is a nice story. They’ll get killed here.
MPC	Boise State-Maryland	The ACC needs to improve their bowl affiliations.
Insight	Cal-Louisville	When will we stop asking how Louisville blew their BCS chance?
Champs	Georgia Tech-Colorado	Tech returns to Orlando. The Gailey watch continues.
Motor City	Northwestern-Toledo	Northwestern gets the bottom of the Big Ten slots. It could be worse. They could be at home, like Purdue.
Hawaii	Fresno State-Southern Miss	I’d love to see Pat Hill in a Hawaiian shirt.
Fort Worth	Texas A&M-Tulsa	A&M joins the ranks of team asking “how did we end up here?”
Poinsettia	Navy-Colorado State	These low-level bowls love the USNA, especially in a Navy town like San Diego.
Las Vegas	Nevada-TCU	Nevada happily grabs the open Pac 10 spot.
GMAC	Bowling Green-Houston	Southern Miss would’ve been the easy call, but sometimes the bowls like variety.
New Orleans	Arkansas State-UCF	The best thing about this bowl used to be its location. Hopefully the Sun Belt champ will have a winning record.
