Bertuccci's Bowling for Bowls Classic: Allstate Sugar Bowl

Welcome to the Bertuccci's Bowling for Bowls Classic! brought to you by Bertuccci's...Bertuccci's, What's not to Love!

Location: Louisiana Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana

Matchup: Hawai'i (At-Large) vs. Georgia (At-Large)

Spread: Georgia -7.5

Smartass Comment about the Bowl Itself: Where would people from Hawai'i be excited to travel to for a bowl game? Can someone answer me that?

Thoughts: Nobody loves the mid-majors more than me. Last year's Boise State win over Oklahoma was one of the greatest moments of my sports watching life. A Hawai'i win wouldn't make it any less special, in fact it would further the cause for more access to BCS and New Year's Day bowls. I just don't think this Hawai'i team is capable. They have playmakers at the WR position and June Jones' offense could frustrate Georgia for a while. But Georgia is the tougher more talented team, playing as well as anyone in the country. They slept on a smaller conference opponent the last time they were in the Sugar Bowl. I don't see them doing that again.

Pick: Georgia

Confidence: 21 out of 32
