Gaylord Hotels Music City BowlLP Field, Nashville, Tenn.
Vanderbilt vs. Boston College
Date: Dec. 31
Time: 4:30 p.m.
TV: ESPN
Line: Boston College -3.5
About Vanderbilt: The Commodores were an absolutely AMAZING team this year, fielding one of the best Vanderbilt squads ever! They went 6-6. And their bowl game is 20 minutes from their campus. Yeah, congrats. At least they can play defense.
Intangibles:
Students dress like prom dates for football games: -4
Fancy, schmancy degree: +3
Couldn't even beat Tennessee: -5
About Boston College: The Eagles just keep rolling along, slightly above mediocrity and happy to be there. I like BC. They play hard, they're not fancy and they know their place as an 8-4 team, with variations going from 7-5 to 9-3 without huge coaching upheaval. It could be beacuse nobody in Boston cares.
Intangibles:
Clam Chowdah: +2
Flutie pass beating Miami: +7
Flutie pass stealing Heisman from Keith Byars: -98
Red Sox fans: -7
Impact Player: Boston College Dominique Davis took over about midway through the year after an injury to starter Chris Crane. Davis has been alternately decent and absolutely awful. Like in the ACC championship game when he threw something like 14 straight incompletions. Not making that one up.
Little Known fact: Ha. you totally said "Gaylord".
The Pick: Boston College 22, Vanderbilt 16

Shit. Do you Buckeyes ever let anything go? Sure Byars was more deserving, but you know the voters. All they want is the neat and clean white guy to win.
hell no, i'm not letting that go. I was one crushed 14-year old.
