GMAC Bowl
Location: Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Mobile, Alabama
Matchup: Bowling Green vs. Tulsa
Spread: Tulsa -5.5
Smartass Comment about the Bowl Itself: I find GMAC Bowl Sunday has become more about parties and the commercials than the actual game itself, still a uniquely American tradition.
Thoughts: This bowl has traditionally been an offensive shootout since the 2001 classic between Marshall and East Carolina that everyone who saw it remembers. This matchup promises to hold to that tradition. Tulsa's QB Paul Smith was second in the country in passing yardage. While Tulsa's pass defense ranked 108the nationally. That is the formula for a high scoring, pass filled shootout. The game features two coaches, Tulsa's Todd Graham and Bowling Green's Gregg Brandon who will likely be considered for bigger schools coaching jobs in 2009. I like Smith and the Golden Hurricane in a pinball game.
Pick: Tulsa
Confidence: 10 out of 32
