New Year\u2019s Six Bowl Game Predictions \u2013 Week 14<\/h2>\nPeach Bowl \u2013 Iowa vs. Florida State<\/h3>\n
[sc:NCAA240banner ]Iowa\u2019s fate is still in its own hands. If it beats Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game and remains undefeated, it\u2019s likely going to go to the College Football Playoff. The Hawkeyes are just 3.5-point<\/a> underdogs in that game, but if they can\u2019t overcome Sparty, they should still have a big bowl game waiting.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll likely get matched up with the Florida State Seminoles, who are now 10-2 after blowing out Florida in the Swamp. The Noles will be a perfect fit for the Peach Bowl, which will be held in nearby Georgia.<\/p>\n Notre Dame\u2019s playoff dreams were well and truly dashed after their heart-breaking loss to Stanford. The 10-2 Irish will have to content themselves with one of the New Year\u2019s Day bowls, most likely the Fiesta Bowl, in which they have already appeared four times.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Houston is well on course for a big bowl bid of its own after beating Navy to set up an AAC title game with Temple. The Cougars will get the reserved New Year\u2019s invite for the highest ranking Group of Five champion if they overcome the Owls, which they are favored by 6.5 points<\/a> to do.<\/p>\n Ohio State pushed itself right back into New Year\u2019s contention with a thorough dismantling of Michigan in The Game. The 11-1 Buckeyes still have an outside shot of breaking into the CFP if the stars align a certain way, but they could have a Rose Bowl bid ready and waiting should they fail to get in.<\/p>\n They\u2019ll most likely get paired up with the Stanford Cardinal, who defeated a tough Notre Dame team and are favored by 4.5 points<\/a> in the Pac-12 championship game over USC.<\/p>\n With the way things have gone, Ole Miss was actually a crazy 4th<\/sup>-and-25 play away from going to the SEC title game. That fact\u2019s got to sting, but the Rebels should still be satisfied with likely getting the SEC\u2019s Sugar Bowl bid, which they all but secured after a big win in the Egg Bowl.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Baylor\u2019s faint hopes of sneaking into the CFP were smashed to pieces in their sloppy loss at TCU. But unless the Bears somehow lose to a 4-7 Texas team in their regular season finale, they should still get the Big 12\u2019s bid for the Sugar Bowl.<\/p>\n Alabama will be the biggest favorite among the four Power 5 championship games this Saturday, and is currently a 17-point<\/a> favorite against Florida. Barring any incredible upset, a win over the Gators will seal the Tide\u2019s trip to a national semifinal (most likely the Cotton Bowl), where they could meet Michigan State.<\/p>\n The Spartans once again have their fate in their own hands, and will set up a terrific matchup with the Tide if they get past the Hawkeyes in the Big Ten title game.<\/p>\n Despite being the No. 1 team in the country, Clemson has a tricky test going into enemy territory in the ACC title game against North Carolina. The Tigers are just 5-point<\/a> favorites over the Tar Heels, but with Heisman candidate Deshaun Watson pulling the strings against a mediocre UNC defense, they should be able to avoid a Clemson-ing and advance to the Orange Bowl in sunny Florida.<\/p>\n Oklahoma, the Big 12\u2019s one true champion, won\u2019t have any more opportunities to better its resume. It should still get into the final four as things stand, but will likely get bumped down to the last seed if the Spartans can add a win over undefeated Iowa in their resume.<\/p>\n Alabama is the overall favorite at +120<\/a> to win the national championship and it\u2019s tough to see them fall in the semifinal for the second-straight year, especially with how Derrick Henry and the defense have been playing.<\/p>\n Oklahoma has arguably been just as impressive, as it illustrated in its clinical blowout of Oklahoma State in Bedlam. The Sooners\u2019 odds championship odds have dropped to +180<\/a>, and might just have what it takes to bring down an undefeated Clemson.<\/p>\nFiesta Bowl \u2013 Notre Dame vs. Houston<\/h3>\n
