What a day in college football. Here’s a look at the games along with prediction.
Allstate Sugar Bowl
No.5 Alabama (10-2) vs. No.9 Kansas State (10-3)
Caesar’s Superdome, New Orleans, 75,167
11 AM CT
ESPN
Dave Pasch, Dusty Dvoracek, Lugues
Officials, Big Ten, Larry Scott
Crimson Tide by 7 1/2
Bryce Young and Will Anderson Jr. send their team off in fine fashion. Todd McShay of ESPN projects Anderson Jr to be the No.1 pick in the NFL draft and Young to be No.2. The Tide plays well and gets itself geared up for 2023.
Alabama 42, Kansas State 28
TransPerfect Music City Bowl
Kentucky (7-5) vs. Iowa (7-5)
Nissan Stadium, Nashville, 67,700

Michigan by 7 1/2
I like a little defense to be played in this game. Max Duggan is not going to be totally denied, but neither is JJ McCarthy or Donovan Edwards. Looking for an excellent football game here.
Michigan 28, TCU 24
Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl
No.1 Georgia (13-0) vs. No.4 Ohio State (11-1)
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, 71,000

I like them Dawgs to take care of business in the ATL, and move on the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California to face Michigan on Monday, January 9, 2023 at 7 PM CT on ESPN in the National Championship Game.
Georgia 31, Ohio State 21

I like those picks… will this be the Bama team that routed Mich St one year or the Bama team that got routed by Utah several years ago? Thanks for all DW
I like your picks for Bama and UGA to beat the spread. My gut tells me TCU might surprise with the upset.
Happy New Year and RTR!
Thanks, JD and D! D, I was tempted to pick TCU, but trued to take my heart out of it,They certainly have a shot. I think it’ll be the “good” Bama today, Joseph. Keep up the great playing! I look forward to getting out there with you a week from Thursday. Thanks for the excellent comments all year, fellas. Please keep it coming in 2023. Happy New Year.
