13 Houston (-6) vs. 21 Penn St.
This is a very intriguing matchup in Dallas. The Ticket City Bowl gets a game featuring 2 ranked teams in just the 2nd edition of the bowl game. Houston could lack motivation. The Cougars were on the verge in playing in their 1st BCS game, before getting blow out in the Conference USA title game and squandering a perfect season. I'm not sure that there are words to describe Penn State's tumultuous season. In a season unlike any other, the Nittany Lions went 9-3 but slipped to the Ticket City Bowl as many bowls wanted to stay away from the controversy that lies at the school. This game features the nation's leading passer in Houston's Case Keenum going up against the 5th ranked passing defense. The team that gets the best of that battle should win the game.
Prediction - Penn St. 31 Houston 27
