SEC Big Boy Bowl Outcomes Solved: Larry's Losers in the SEC, Final Edition

Well folks, with the also ran bowls already in print, http://bleacherreport.com/articles/545648-sec-teams-in-bowls-wholl-be-on-larrys-losers-december-bowl-list if you missed them, Bacardi the Wonder Dog and I are ready to give you the final big boy picks in the style that Leonard's Losers made famous back in the 70's.

So sit back, clean your spectacles and get ready to get the inside predictions from that absolute most accurate picker of losers in print, internet or any electronic media.

Florida vs Penn State - January 1st - The Outback Bowl - Tampa, Florida

Urban Meyer sends his swamp lizards eastward over to Tampa to take on Joe Pa and the Penn State pussycats in the Outback Bowl.

This year's crop of lackluster lizards have completely underwhelmed expectations this year and barely made the new year's crop of bowls with a 7-5 record that matched that of the Nittany Lions, who likewise had a down year.

The two teams have been let down by different ways: The Lizards offense couldn't put up the points and Pussycats defense couldn't be counted on when it was needed, so this is a game that could go either way depending on who gets the hot hand.

The SEC is playing the Big Ten and we know how those usually come out, but Florida's history with that scenario is kind of shaky.

In the end, Florida will play their heads off to send a 46 year old man into retirement against an 84 year old coach who's looking forward to next year.

Larry's Loser - Penn State

Alabama vs Michigan State - January 1st - The Capital One Bowl - Orlando, Florida

Nick Saban and his pigskin pachyderms parade on down to Orlando to meet mighty Michigan State. This is gonna be a dandy little game against two very similarly stack teams.

The Spartan's head man, Mark Dantonio, figures he knows a thing or two about how things may go since he played for Nick Saban and Bobby Williams, who were both head coaches for the Sparties while Dantonio was there.

But Saban knows that knowing how to stop a train may not help you if you ain't got enough muscle on the tracks and he's pretty sure that Dantonio didn't learn all his secrets.

When it's over, only one team will still like spending the rest of the week with Mickey and Minnie and that team should be the Crimson Tide.

Larry's Loser -  Michigan State

Mississippi State vs Michigan - January 1st - The Gator Bowl - Jacksonville, Florida

Dan Mullen walks the dogs over to Jacksonville for a little how-do-you-do with the Michigan Wolverines, as they aim to cause woe to the Northern fur balls and their woeful coach with winning problems.

Rich's rod hasn't been too strong in the winning column and he's fighting for his job, or at least a little respectability, in what many think will be his last game as a Michigan man.

Like many of the games this bowl season, this one will come down to who has the hot hand plays with a take-no-prisoner attitude.

In the end, it's a decent SEC team playing a decent Big Ten team and that's all you really have to know.

These dogs have learned to bite this season and a good bulldog outweighs a wolverine seven to one.

Larrry's loser - Michigan

Arkansas vs Ohio State - January 4th - The Sugar Bowl - New Orleans, Louisiana

When the season started, neither team expected to be here. The Piggies overperformed and the Buckeyes came up short of expectations.

The Petrino piggies figure they'll go up and over the Ohio State defense enough times to wind up on top, but the Buckeyes think their chief ball slinger can keep pace and come out on top.

Those Vegas boys think this could be one of the closest game of the batch and there's plenty of reasons to see it that way, but the prediction pooch and I both thought that since a Buckeye ain't much different than an acorn, maybe the Hogs don't have to blind to find these and eat 'em up.

With Ryan Mallet auditioning for the NFL, this could be long day for yet another Big Ten team this bowl season and both of us feel the audition will go well.

Larry's Loser - Ohio State

LSU vs Texas A&M - January 7th - Cotton Bowl - Arlington, Texas

Les Miles carpools his kitties over to Jerry's World in Arlington to meet up with an Aggie from just down the road and these Aggies don't plan on making the Tigers feel welcomed.

This is another one of those bowl game nail biters if you believe the Vegas boys, but the real game will come to which Jordan Jefferson shows up to play for LSU that day.

As long as the game doesn't come down some last minute game managing and the right Jefferson shows up, the wonder dog and I both feel this is a game that is the Tigers for the taking.

In the end, we both feel that is just what will happen.

Larry's loser - Texas A&M

Kentucky vs Pitt - January 7th - The BBVA Compass Bowl - Birmingham, Alabama

Bacardi and I can't figure out how the heck this sorry of a bowl gets such a late date in January, but that's beside the point.

Joker Phillips, as a first year coach, is glad to drag his Kentucky Kitties into any bowl and continue the streak of appearances they've enjoyed lately.

But the Yankee Panthers have come to win, not just show up at a bowl and they have shown the ability to scratch and claw it out with the best of them.

This is gonna be a 60 minute cat fight and when it's over, the SEC has a loss to notch as one of the rare ones of the bowl season.

Larry's loser - Kentucky

Auburn vs Oregon - January 10th - The BCS National Championship Game - Glendale, Arizona

Gene Chizik has the chance to do what has become a once in a lifetime thing: Win a national championship at Auburn.

So, he takes Alabama's finest felines way out west to go bird huntin' against the Ducks for Oregon.

This could be a game of one great player, Cam Newton at Auburn, against one great team, but Auburn has a supporting cast to help him look even better.

One thing's for sure about this game: They'll be points a plenty, early and often and enough highlight moments to fill the evening news.

With just about 74 points being the over and under, the real question is who will have the most in the end.

After some fact checking and some smart cookies and finally a coin flip, we think the Tigers hold up the honor the SEC for one more year.

Larry's loser - Oregon

Well, that's it folks. We'll see you next season, the good Lord willing and the Hurricane don't blow this way.

So from Panama City Beach, the prognosticatin' pooch Bacardi and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a better season next year!
