I continue to circle the drain with Bowl Mania picks and am as bad with O5 as with Power 5 picks but here goes.
Iowa State(Big 12) vs. Memphis(AAC) | Liberty Bowl | Memphis has decent offense, but it may not excel against the Cyclones . ISU 27 MEM 17
No. 23 Liberty(CUSA) vs. No. 8 Oregon(PAC12) | Fiesta Bowl | Flames will stay it in for three quarters until they flicker out. and can't contain Bo Nix. Quentin Cooley may reach 100 yards rushing for LU. Oregon 41 LU 27
Wyoming(MWC) vs. Toledo(MAC) | Arizona Bowl | Cowboys have been erratic. I'll ride with the Rockets. Toledo 31 WYO 24

Wrong on this one. Iowa St never recovered from going down 19-0 early and lost to Memphis 36-26.
Both QBs put on a show. MEM S. Henigan 24-34, 364 YDS, 4 TD,
ISU: R. Becht 22-38, 446 YDS, 3 TD

Well, I picked Toledo, but nice way for Bohl, the Wyoming HC, to retire. Glad CW televised it. No time on the clock as the Cowboys hit the game winning FG fora 16-15 win.

No surprise Oregon rolled LU yesterday. They kept it close in the first half. I t was cool to hear the story of a Flames' lineman who worked hard to rehab from an injury and play in the game. One of the announcers voiced surprise that the kid chose to use his eligibility to play. The other announcer reminded him- it's an NY6 game. I've searched and can't find his name.
