Tulsa by 1 1/2

Give me Leach, up and coming quarterback Will Rogers and a pretty stout Bullie defense to carry State to the slight upset victory.

I like a close game here. The Spartans have been more than impressive this season. They defeated a solid Nevada team, which just blasted Tulane in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, 38-27, and also defeated Bryan Harsin and Boise State, 34-20, in the Mountain West Conference Championship Game. But Ball State is pretty tough as well. They defeated an 8 point favorite Buffalo team in the MAC Championship Game, 38-28, so I like their squad as well. Give me the Spartans but I like the Cardinals to make it tough for them.

I like Jeff Monken, the Cadets and their superb triple option attack to pull off the upset in the River City. The West Point guys aren’t going to opt out. They love playing college football.
