I am getting all of these GOYs out of my system all at once. While I will be playing other bowl games this is my only 5 unit play. Absolutely love this game.
Liberty Bowl, December 31, 2011, 2:30 p.m. Memphis TN.
Vanderbilt -2' over Cincinatti. Vanderbilt has had an excellent season this year. Statistically they are pretty similar. Cincy has a better record at 9-3 while Vandy is 6-6. The two factors that convinced me to make it a GOY is strength of schedule and where the game is being played. Vandy's SOS was ranked 31st in the country while Cincy's SOS was 78th. Major difference in the quality of teams each played. The game is in Memphis Tennessee and while it isn't exactly where Vandy plays their home games (Nashville) it is a hell of a lot closer to Nashville than it is to Cincy. Point is there is going to be a major Vanderbilt bias with the crowd in this game. Vanderbilt went 5-2 at home with their 2 losses coming against Georgia 33-28, and who played in the SEC title game, and a 3 point loss 31-28 to Arkansas who was in the top 10 most of the year. I think Vandy wins this game by double digits. BOL if you follow. Will bump the thread as it gets closer to the game.
