The Capital One Bowl is an annual college football bowl game played in Orlando, Florida at the Citrus Bowl, and previously known as the Tangerine Bowl (1947\u20131982) and the Florida Citrus Bowl (1983-2002). Currently, the bowl has tie-ins with the SEC and the Big Ten holding the first selection after the BCS for both conferences. As of 2006 it has the largest payout of all the non-BCS bowls at $4.25M per team.<\/p>\n
When the No. 19 Spartans (9-3) and No. 16 Bulldogs (9-3) meet here Thursday in the Capital One Bowl, it will end a 39-day layoff for MSU. That’s a lot of time to rest, relax and get rusty.\u00a0Both teams have 9-3 records, but the 19th-ranked Spartans can be proud of achieving the program’s best season this decade while the No. 16 Bulldogs might be disappointed by the Florida city they ended up visiting for bowl season.<\/p>\n
Michigan State has had a very good year and has shown that the program is headed in the right direction, but still hasn’t proven that they can hang with the big dogs.<\/p>\n
Georgia has the tools to carve up the Spartans, and we expect them to do so today.<\/p>\n
