2013 Bowl Projections

The season hasn't even had it's first tailgate let alone kickoff but we are too excited to wait on the end of the year bowl predictions.  Plus it's always fun to go back and check to see how wrong we were.  If I hit 20% of these predictions it's just pure luck.  Thank God this is the final year of the BCS.
