Wisconsin Badgers @ TCU Horned Frogs Rose Bowl by Vizio Free Pick

Wisconsin Badgers @ TCU Horned Frogs Rose Bowl by Vizio Free Pick: I love the Horned Frogs. I’ve said all season long, they are one hell of a team that can be as good as anyone in the Nation. This is a huge game for them, for everyone – bigger than their game last year against Boise State, as big as Boise’s win over Oklahoma years ago – the game that put small schools on the map. I will be rooting long and intense throughout that TCU will show all the idiots out there that a small school can kick some tail as well. But with my mind, I have to give the nod to the Badgers of Wisconsin.

It really comes down to how awesome the Badgers have been playing lately. The beat-downs they are putting on their opponents are epic. TCU has been awesome as well, dominating every single opponent outside of San Diego State (they still won by 5). But the Badgers put up 83 on Indiana and 70 on Northwestern. They are a bad game against Michigan State from an undefeated season – and they are easily playing their best football late in the season.

TCU has even better numbers than the Badgers (though they are both scoring an identical and amazing 43.3 points per game this year). They are giving up just 11.4 points a game, and they sport one of the best defenses in the Nation, giving up a touchdown or less in 6 straight games this season (and that wasn’t against powder-puffs, that was against Air Force, BYU, UNLV, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado State). One team has played close with the Horned Frogs all season long, just a good San Diego State team.

Listen, I think the world of TCU, really I do – I just think Wisconsin is playing better than anyone in the Nation right now, and they do well in Bowls. They get the nod.
