Yesterday's games put me at 19-9 for bowl season thus far. We've only got several games to go, so let's pick the lone wolf game tonight, the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
Allstate Sugar Bowl
New Orleans, Lousiana
Mercedes-Benz Superdome
Tonight 8:30
(11) Oklahoma vs. (3) Alabama
The pick: Alabama 45 Oklahoma 23
Alabama was snipped out of the last BCS Championship by bitter in-state rival Auburn on the undoubtedly most amazing play of this year's college football season. Now, Nick Saban's Crimson Tide is set to face a Bob Stoops' team that has finished the season very strong. I've heard several analysts pick against Alabama, citing the similar situation that allowed Utah to slay the beast in 2009…in the Sugar Bowl. Tonight won't be the night for the Sooners, and T.J. Yeldon will show the country why he is one of the best running backs in the country. This game might be close at the start, but A.J. McCarron will show why he is a proven winner.
