Sugar Bowl Preview



10 Virginia Tech (+2.5) vs. 11 Michigan

The Sugar Bowl has received the most scrutiny of any BCS bowl this season. Many figured that Michigan would receive a bid by going 10-2. After all, they travel well and have returned to national relevance in Brady Hoke's 1st season in Ann Arbor. Virginia Tech on the hand, caused a little bit of controversy despite having a season comparable with Michigan's on all levels. What caused the Hokies selection to be such a surprise was their 38-point blowout loss in the ACC Championship to Clemson. Frank Beamer's squad will make no excuses for being here though. I expect the team that runs the ball better to control this game and come out on top.

Prediction - Michigan 27 Virginia Tech 20
