What do you base your pick on?
The weather?
These bowl games are a lottery.

I'm not exactly sure how wind disadvantages one team over the other here. Both are primarily rushing teams with accurate quarterbacks who generally throw short. A cyclone could be blowing and it would have little effect here.
It's important when you talk with your buddies about "true" national championship teams that you look at the strengths of schedule here. Auburn went undefeated against a killer schedule. Oregon at least had it tougher than this, even if we think places are overrating the Pac 10. TCU was supposedly a "true" threat last year when they laid an egg in the Fiesta Bowl. Wisconsin has shown vulnerabilities in a few spots this season. This is a game to get excited about because of the records and the rankings. Just keep your heads on straight about what it means in the big picture. Defense often rules playoff style games like this. You see those strong defensive rankings. We'll think about the Under. We'll have to consider the dog at a full field goal because Wiscy is much more big game tested this year.

What about Ohio State and Arkansas?
Is the Buckeyes defence simply to strong for Arkansas?
Is the Buckeyes defence simply to strong for Arkansas?
Ohio State has plenty of experience in BCS bowl games. Arkansas has none.
The Buckeyes also have plenty of experience losing bowl games to teams from the SEC.
The No. 6 Buckeyes try to beat an SEC squad in a bowl for the first time Tuesday night when they meet No. 8 Arkansas in a Sugar Bowl matchup pitting two of the nation's top quarterbacks -- one of whom will play despite garnering an NCAA suspension last week.
Ohio State (11-1) is appearing in its sixth consecutive BCS bowl, having posted a 2/3 mark the last five years and topping Oregon 26-17 in last year's Rose Bowl. The Buckeyes are 1-2 in the Sugar Bowl, where they'll be playing for the first time since beating Texas A&M 24-14 following the 1998 season.
They also took the field at the Louisiana Superdome for the BCS title game Jan. 7, 2008, when they lost 38-24 to LSU, but playing in New Orleans will be a new experience for most of coach Jim Tressel's squad.
"Eighty percent of our team hasn't been there before and they know they're going against a great football team," Tressel said. "Anytime you get to match up two teams in the top 10 you get excited about that opportunity."
Tressel may be less excited about the prospect of facing another SEC school, as the Buckeyes are 0-9 in bowl matchups with teams from that league. Since Tressel was hired in 2001, they've gone 0-3 versus the SEC -- including two national title game losses -- and 5-1 in other bowls.
This game figures to feature excellent quarterback play, as Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor and Arkansas' Ryan Mallett are finalists for the Manning Award, presented to the nation's top QB.
That matchup almost didn't happen. On Dec. 23, the NCAA suspended Pryor and four other Buckeyes -- running back Daniel Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey, offensive lineman Mike Adams and defensive end Solomon Thomas -- for the first five games of next season for selling championship rings, jerseys and awards, and receiving improper benefits from a tattoo parlor. However, all five players will be allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl.
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said the school will appeal the suspensions, and that the athletic department was not "explicit" in instructing players about the sale of apparel, awards and gifts.
Tressel took responsibility upon himself.
"We as coaches feel the buck stops here," he said. "We're the ones who need to make things even more crystal clear."
On the field, the quarterbacks present a clear contrast in styles. While Mallett is a classic drop-back passer who helped Arkansas rack up 338.4 yards per game through the air -- third in the nation -- Pryor is a scrambler who gained 639 yards on the ground in addition to throwing for 2,551.
Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino sees similarities between Pryor and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton, who led Auburn to a 65-43 victory over the Razorbacks (10-2) in October.
"Their size and strength and ability to run," Petrino said. "They're both tremendous football players, great leaders and had a lot of success in knowing how to win games."
Pryor has certainly done plenty of winning. The junior has posted a 22-3 record as Ohio State's full-time starter the last two seasons. He's led the Buckeyes to victory in 17 of their last 18 games, including a five-game winning streak to end the 2010 regular season.
"It's great to get victories with these guys," Pryor said of his teammates after beating Michigan 37-7 in the regular-season finale. "There were lots of ups and downs, but way more ups."
Petrino loves his teams to put the ball up in the air, and Mallett has done a terrific job. He's thrown for 7,216 yards and 60 touchdowns in his two seasons in Fayetteville, and had nine 300-yard games in 2010. The TDs over the last two years rank third among players for BCS schools while the passing yards rank second in that span, trailing only Oklahoma's Landry Jones.
Tressel needs no introduction to Mallett, who played for the archrival Wolverines in 2007 before joining the Razorbacks.
"We're very familiar with Ryan Mallett because of course we played against him when he was at the University of Michigan," Tressel said. "In fact, I was hoping we were done with him when he transferred, and here we are getting him when he's at the height of his career.
"He is a tremendous football player, lightning-quick release. Smart as a whip, you can tell just through his numbers the way he's grown into being one of the great, great quarterbacks in all of the country."
Arkansas and Ohio State have never faced each other, but Mallett still views the Buckeyes as a bitter rival.
"It's going to be a fun game," he said. "It's two great teams. Obviously, I had the traditional rivalry hatred (at Michigan). I've still got a little Michigan in me from that. I've never really been a big fan (of Ohio State)."
As for exactly how he feels about the Buckeyes, Mallett said, "I don't know if it's something you can say on air or in the paper."
Arkansas is 1-4 in the Sugar Bowl, with all five appearances coming in the pre-BCS era. The Razorbacks last appeared in the Sugar following the 1979 season, losing 24-9 to Alabama.
While this will be the Razorbacks' debut in a BCS bowl, it won't be a BCS debut for their coach. Petrino guided Louisville to victory in the Orange Bowl following the 2006 season.

You should really let us know when you are stealing someone else's work and research
I am a researcher and sportswriter for ESPN, i have the rights!
Here is a little background on myself and I do believe you will find it of substance.
•I have been handicapping professionally for almost 40 years.
•I lived a charmed life in the world of football, studying with brilliant coaches such as the late Paul "Bear" Bryant of Alabama and Hank Stram of the Kansas City Chiefs. I learned all about NFL offenses from people such as Hall of Fame quarterback John Unitas and defense from such outstanding players as Randy White, the great Hall of Fame lineman from the Dallas Cowboys.
•I scouted football in the Southeastern Conference for years and learned in great detail how to watch a game and detect a team's weaknesses.
•I am personal friends with most of the big bookmakers of the world, and those who make lines for them and I speak to many of them daily to find out just what is happening on their side of the counter.
•I am a former Regional Sports Editor for The Associated Press, responsible for all sports coverage in 14 Southern states.
•I am a former Director of Public Relations and Marketing for Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby, a position I assumed when I was but 25 years old.
•I am a former Director of Public Relations and Marketing for Pimlico and the Preakness, for Laurel Race Course, for Arlington Park, and Penn National where I founded the original World Series of Handicapping... the forerunner of all of today's handicapping contests.
•I am a former, and very successful, jockey agent for Vincent Bracciale (3,545 winners), Alberto Delgado (2,637 winners plus an Eclipse Award), Carlos Barrere (2,762 winners, as well as Arnold LLiescu (3,324 winners).
•I founded the World Series of Handicapping at Penn National-the contest after which almost all such events are patterned today.
•I built and made operational one of the first legal bookmaking shops ever on the Island of Bermuda.
•I work with lawyers preparing gambling cases for court and have testified as an expert witness on the subject of sports betting.
•I am the only sports handicapper to ever testify before the United States Congress on the subject of whether sports betting should be legalized.
•I was, for years, the lead sports betting writer for College & Pro Football Newsweekly, SportsForm and Sports Eye.
•I was editor of Turf & Sport Digest.
•I have been written up in many major publications, including Playboy, Maxim, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times, just to name a few.
•I was for several years one of the panelists on Pro Line, a nationally televised (USA) weekly show on football handicapping.
•My book, THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO SPORTS BETTING, published by Harper & Row was the first book on this subject ever produced by a major publisher and became the foundation book for the business.
As you can see, almost everything I have done in my life has been connected to the sports betting industry. My success is no accident.
