New Year's Day Bowl Game Predictions

12:00
#19 Auburn at #18 Wisconsin
Outback Bowl
Both of these teams were in the Top 10 during the season, and Auburn was ranked as high as #2, before losing to Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Georgia and Alabama. Wisconsin is coming off of an awful 59-0 loss to Ohio State in the B1G Championship Game. Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon is the best back in the land, and he will take advantage of an Auburn defense that has struggled this season, and lead the Badgers to victory
Winner: Wisconsin

12:30
Cotton Bowl
#8 Michigan State vs. #5 Baylor
Baylor narrowly missed getting into the college football playoff, and Michigan States 2 losses have both come against playoff teams in #2 Oregon and #4 Ohio State. It will be a close game, as Baylor has an explosive offense that is #2 in the land in scoring lead by QB Bryce Petty, while MSU has a Stout defense. It will be close, but I think Baylor will have too much offensive firepower for Sparta
Winner: Baylor

1:00
Citrus Bowl
#16 Missouri vs. #25 Minnesota
Missouri was the best team in the weak SEC East, while Minnesota has the strongest team they've had in a while. Both teams are strong on the defensive side of the ball, but Minnesota is stronger offensively, and I think that will be the difference I'm this one
Winner: Minnesota

Playoffs
5:00
Rose Bowl
#2 Oregon vs. #3 Florida State
Oregon has been very dominant since their loss to Arizona, with QB and Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota leading the way. Jameis Winston and Florida State have had a lot of close calls, but have managed an undefeated record coming into the playoffs. I think that, after seeing how MSU'S defense struggled for most of the ACC title game against another strong offense in Georiga Tech, I don't see how the will be able to have success against Oregon and their  much more fast pace scheme. It will be close in the first half, but the Ducks will pull away to win by 10-14 points

Winner: Oregon

Sugar Bowl

#4 Ohio State vs. #1 Alabama
This is easily the more intriguing game out of the 2 playoff games. It is almost too close to call. However, Alabama has a defense that is better then any Ohio State has seen all year. Also, WR Amari Cooper is in the minds of some the best player in College Football and finished 2nd in the Heisman Trophy voting. I'm going with the Tide

Winner: Alabama
