Tier One Games (Must Watch)

#25  Boise State (10-3) vs  Oregon (7-5) – 3:30PM ET, ABC (Sat, 12/16) – Las Vegas Bowl

One of my favorite parts of the New Year’s Six is the group of five game every year, but UCF-Auburn isn’t the only chance we’ll have to see a top-flight team from the group of five take on one of the big boys. Along with USF-Texas Tech and Iowa State-Memphis, Boise State-Oregon is one of three games where a group of five team ranked in my top 30 takes on an unranked power-five squad. Even though this matchup is just days away, we still have plenty of unknown variables. Boise State’s 1,000-yard rusher Alexander Mattison is a game-time decision, and while Mario Cristobal seems to be a popular hire with players, it is always an unknown when a new coach is hired going into the bowl game. Oregon’s defense has gotten a lot better, and with Mattison either hurting or completely out, I’d put my money on Jim Leavitt taking charge of the defense, and holding Boise to under 30 points. As for the Oregon offense, QB Justin Herbert and RB Royce Freeman, who have both dealt with injuries this year, should both be all ready to go after three weeks rest (one more than Boise). Give me Freeman, who has rushed for triple digits in six straight games, and Oregon to win in a close one.

Prediction: Oregon 31, Boise State 27
