Taking HOUSTON here. If there was ever a team happy to be here against a team not. Upstart Houston, with 1 loss (on the road minus their QB) vs the old, wily vets, Florida State. FSU was NC a couple years ago. Was in the playoffs after that. And are now, in the Peach Bowl. Basically a who is on TV right now game ahead of the Orange and Cotton Bowl Play-Offs. What a slap in the face for a pretty good team. Off a win over rival Florida, facing the AAC Champ. That being said, they aren't thrilled to be playing at noon. I had FSU a few years ago when they met Northern Illinois in a lesser bowl. The man handled that squad. But I think Houston is a bit different. Their HC was OC at tOSU last year winning a title. He won't let his guys get overwhelmed by a helmet. 4* Money Maker HOUSTON COUGARS
