2) Baylor-Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl, January 1, 12:30 PM
Wait, what about the other College Football Playoff game? Oh, that’s coming, but in the meantime, this is one of the first games on New Years Day, and Baylor, who loves to score in bunches, has something to prove. A chip on their shoulder to be sure if you saw any of Art Briles interviews prior to the College Football Playoff combatants being named. They’re going up against a Michigan State team that is stout defensively, but can they handle Bryce Petty and the Bears high-flying offense? This game’s a perfect top slice of bread on what will be a New Years Day bowl game sandwich the likes of which we’ve never experienced before.
