I know just what you're thinking: The Raycom Media Camellia Bowl (real name) was great and all, but how much longer do I have to wait for the Camping World Independence Bowl (real name)?
Don't worry, my friends. North Carolina State and Vanderbilt will battle it out for independence Monday, the same day the Big Ten bowl slate opens.
And it opens with quite a doozy, a duel in Detroit between a six-win Maryland team that Ohio State and Michigan outscored 122-6 combined and a Boston College outfit that lost to the ACC's top four 202-24 combined.
But we come not to mock the Big Ten bowls (further) but to attempt to predict which teams will leave their investors laughing all the way to the bank.
As always, these picks are against the spread, and the selection is in bold. Lines were taken from Pregame.com on Thursday.
