2010 Orange Bowl Preview

9 Georgia Tech vs 10 Iowa
Favorite: Georgia Tech, -5
I don't like Georgia Tech. I think they've been overrated all season. They can run the ball well, and beyond that they aren't very good. Their defense gives up 24.8 points per game, a stat hidden by the fact that weak ACC defenses couldn't stop their running game. Iowa's Big Ten opponents weren't much better, but they did beat Penn State, and one of their two loses came against an Ohio State team that played very strong at the end of the season. Iowa also probably has a better defense than any team Tech has faced this season.
Pick: Iowa 27 - Georgia Tech 17
