16 Georgia (-3.5) vs. 17 Michigan St.
Here is another one of the SEC-Big Ten matchups we get during bowl season. This one features the runner-up in both conferences. Georgia started the season badly, by losing to Boise State and South Carolina in their opening 2 games. They followed that up by rattling off 10 consecutive wins. That came to a crashing halt when LSU scored 42 unanswered points to send the Bulldogs to defeat in the SEC Championship. Michigan State came oh so close to their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1988. The Spartans beat Wisconsin in the regular season on a last second Hail Mary, but didn't have miracle in the Big Ten Championship as they fell to the Badgers 42-39. Now both teams must settle for a trip to Tampa for the Outback Bowl. The SEC has dominated the Big Ten in recent years, but I like the Spartans to get one for the Big Ten.
Prediction - Michigan St. 28 Georgia 27
