Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl

Robert Guliano on why Kentucky will win:
Three letters. S-E-C. Yes, it is the best conference in college football. It may have been down this year, but so was just about every other conference. Kentucky was very competitive against mid-level SEC teams, including an upset of Georgia (who just so happened to beat ACC champion Georgia Tech). C.J. Spiller will be a handful, but Kentucky has seen it all when it comes to talented rushers in blowout losses to Florida and Alabama.

Kentucky players to watch:
3. CB Trevard Lindley-The Wildcat corner is a legit draft prospect that brings big plays to the table. If you choose to actually watch him, bear in mind that he does play football for Kentucky, and you will more than likely walk away disappointed.

2. Desperate Housewives-Assuming you have the psychological endurance to watch the first half hour of this game, you will be relieved to find out that a superior alternative will air on network television, Desperate Housewives. I'd say Wisteria Lane is the perfect escape for downtrodden bowl fans that grow weary of watching mediocre early bowl season football.

1. John Wall-Everyone is crazy about the freshman basketball superstar. He is far bigger than anything/anyone involved in this bowl game and will likely be mentioned by entry-level game announcers yearning for content that doesn't involve C.J. Spiller's almost Heisman finalist season.

Brandon Hickey on why Clemson will win:
The Music City Bowl is famous for worthless football, and this year is no different. Clemson, who went 8-5 and gave Maryland one of their two wins this year, is coming off a loss in the ACC Championship game. Clemson, South Carolina is a quaint college town tucked away in the northwestern part of the state, whose motto is "In season, every season." Uhhhh. Its main draw is obviously the University, but a hidden tourist gem is also located in Clemson: the South Carolina Botanical Gardens. What is the point of a botanical garden? Oh, hey, I know what we should do, let's go look at some trees and bushes. That sounds like a good time. Botanical gardens are more pointless than icebreakers.

Clemson players to watch:
3. Howard's Rock-How Clemson reacts to not rubbing this hallowed rock before the game will be intriguing to observe. Yes, a rock is one of the players to watch.

2. WR Jacoby Ford-Ford is the leading receiver and can also be used out of the backfield; is also too cool for the name Jacob.

1. RB C.J. Spiller-Obviously. This kid is quicker than South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's hike on the Appalachian Trail.

The compromise: Clemson handles whoever Kentucky has on their team and Spiller scores twice on the ground and once through the air. The Tigers growl 31-13.
