If the New Year’s Six bowls live up to the hype, all six have the potential to be among the best college football games of the year. And the early betting lines expect the Peach Bowl to be among the best.
Pitt and Michigan State will clash in a Peach Bowl showdown of two teams with very, very different ways of getting by. Pitt is led by an electric passing attack while Michigan State thrives with a ground-and-pound mentality.
