Bleacher Report: Bowl Predictions. CU Winner - USuC Loser

Dec. 29, Orlando, Florida (5:30 p.m. ET)

Matchup: Clemson vs. Oklahoma

Star running back Samaje Perine sustained a sprained ankle in the season-ending loss to Oklahoma State. Provided he's healthy, the Sooners offense runs through him. However, the Sooners will go up against a brutally good Clemson defensive line, anchored by Vic Beasley.

The question is whether the Sooners come out flat. This is a team that had playoff expectations before the season began, but it has gone just 4-4 since a Sept. 20 win over West Virginia. Also, the health status of freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson could play a factor. The Tigers just look like a different team when Watson is in the game.

Interesting storyline: Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables used to be the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma under head coach Bob Stoops.



Matchup Type: Never in doubt

Predicted Winner: Clemson

Dec. 27, Shreveport, Louisiana (3:30 p.m. ET)

Matchup: Miami (FL) vs. South Carolina

It's been a disappointing season for both teams, so this is a chance for one of them to end on a high note. Even though he's a freshman, Brad Kaaya of Miami has the quarterback advantage. With running back Duke Johnson on the field, the Gamecocks defense is going to be tested.

There's a ton of potential for the Hurricanes to rack up chunk yards like they did in the first half to Florida State. South Carolina ranks last in the SEC in big plays allowed. That's been a problem since Week 1 and could continue to be so against an athletic offense.



Matchup Type: Shootout

Predicted Winner: Miami (FL)

It's a lose lose for USCjr if they can't blow out Miami. If they lose to Miami, it would be a disaster to lose to the bottom feeders of the ACC. Just lol
