If you follow Florida Alabama lines or any other college football action, you probably see a title like “Top bowl games” and scoff. Who doesn’t know the big games? Well, actually, not everyone follows the BCS system. Some football fans are too wrapped up in the NFL to keep track of the college kids. But everyone still loves a good game. To be sure you watch the best of the best, follow this list of football picks throughout the holidays.

5. FedEx Orange Bowl – January 5, 2010

The ACC champ gets the automatic bid for the Orange Bowl; this year, it will be the winner of Clemson and Georgia Tech. Both are flawed teams coming off losses. Depending on whom the ACC winner draws, that could yield an exciting game or a total dud.

4. Allstate Sugar Bowl – January 1, 2010

The Sugar Bowl pits the SEC champ against an at-large foe and, last year, produced a thrilling upset. Undefeated Utah toppled big favorite Alabama 31-17. With No. 2 Alabama currently set to face Florida for the SEC title, it may lose that battle for a BCS title game berth and wind up back in the Sugar Bowl. Could history repeat itself?

3. Tostitos Fiesta Bowl – January 4, 2010

If you were betting an online sportsbook on which bowl would produce the best game, the Fiesta Bowl would probably be your boom/bust pick. Since the Big-12 winner gets the automatic bid, we could see Texas in the Fiesta Bowl. As Texas joins Florida and Alabama in the “big three,” it’s logical to think the Longhorns would romp any opponent they draw in the Fiesta Bowl. However, since it’s very possible that Texas reaches the BCS title game, this would leave two more evenly matched opponents in the Fiesta Bowl, producing a closer contest.

2. Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi – January 1, 2010

The prospect of Oregon or Oregon State representing the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl is exciting. If you’re an NFL betting fan, it’s like knowing for sure that, say, one of Houston or Tennessee is playing in a big playoff game. We’re guaranteed to see fireworks since both of these teams run pretty exciting offenses.

1. Citi 2010 BCS National Championship Game – January 7, 2010

The BCS title game needs no introduction, does it? We’ll see two outstanding teams vying for national supremacy. Florida and Texas, Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy – that’s the game most fans want to see and it’s a realistic possibility.
