28 of 37

Capital One Orange Bowl
No. 6 Michigan (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten) vs. No. 11 Florida State (9-3, 5-3 ACC)
Dec. 30 – 8 p.m., ESPN
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Fla.

This is going to be a highly emotional, physical football game. Jim Harbaugh and Jimbo Fisher are two of the best in the business. Florida State just hasn’t been themselves defensively this season, much of that can be attributed to injury’s in the secondary and honestly a lack of talent at linebacker outside of Matthew Thomas. Michigan on the other hand, has been very good on defense this season. Jabrill Peppers, Taco Charlton and Jourdan Lewis are three of the best players in the country on that side of the ball. In my personal opinion Michigan is going to thump FSU. Nothing worse than playing an angry Jim Harbaugh.

Score prediction: 42-20 UM

Players to watch:

Chris Evans (RB) UM

Chris Wormley (DE) UM

Dalvin Cook (RB) FSU

Next: Citrus Bowl
