Las Vegas Bowl: Boise State Broncos vs. Arizona State Sun Devils
If Boise State weren’t so good, I’d say this has the makings of an upset. The Broncos playing in Vegas makes an open and shut case of the failings of the BCS system. I won’t bore you by repeating the arguments, but I will say that a Boise win here only furthers its case – a lesser team would succumb to the emotional letdown of going 11-1 and losing the BCS invite sweepstakes to two-loss Michigan and Virginia Tech. Meanwhile, there’s not much to say about Arizona State. They roll into Sin City on a four game spiral that includes losses to UCLA and Washington State. I was high on the Sun Devils at the beginning of the season, but an ugly loss to the fighting (former) Zookers changed my mind, and it’s been all downhill from there. Pick: Boise. Confidence: 35.
