Capital One Orange Bowl
Capital One: I owe you my allegiance. You hold the country in the palm of your hand. All hail Capital One. Make sure you watch their bowl game and charge your pregame meal to one of their credit cards. Thank you for letting us live here Capital One.
Mississippi State almost pulled off a stunning run to the National Playoff. If they had found a way to pull out their game at Alabama, they would have maintained their number one ranking and would be playing for it all. Instead, they lost and then lost again to in state rival Ole Miss. They have a solid SEC Defense led by defensive end Preston Smith. They have a quarterback named Dak. That's right, Dak Prescott. Dak is a throw/run dual threat and has a decent RB named Josh Robinson to share the offensive load.
Georgia Tech saved their coach's job this year. Paul Johnson who previously saved Navy football (look what they've done to Army the last 14 years), has implemented his triple option in Atlanta. I love the triple option, and Tech runs it. But every time I pick them or watch them, they lose. The rumor was that Tech was going to have to win a lot this year in order for Johnson to keep his job. And that's what they have done.
Justin Thomas is Tech's quarterback. He led the Yellowjackets to an incredible upset of Georgia and then almost pulled off the upset in the ACC Championship game against Florida State. Tech won 10 games and wants 11 tonight. But the Bulldogs are three point favorites.
