20. CHICK-FIL-A BOWL (Atlanta)
Dec. 31/7:30 p.m. ESPN
Virginia Tech Hokies(Blacksburg) (9-3) (ACC Record: 6-2)
Head Coach: Frank Beamer
Key Players: Tyrod (Daddy was an auto mechanic) Taylor, QB; Ryan Williams, RB
Comments: 5-3 v. bowl teams; finished somewhat disappointing season with 4 wins against lesser competition;
Tennessee Volunteers (Knoxville) (7-5) (SEC Record: 4-4)
Head Coach: Lane Kiffin
Key Players: Eric Berry, DB
Comments: 4-5 v bowl teams; Kiffin is a wild man and program is under NCAA investigation for sending hostesses to high school games to entice recruits. Excellent! Berry won Jim Thorpe Award for best DB in the country. 'Bama blocked a chip shot field goal as time expired to hang on for a win; Losing two key assistants and top recruiters;
Line: VA Tech -4
My Pick: In a matchup that both teams have avoided for years, VIRGINIA TECH wins and just covers.
