Stock Orange: 83% Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks Hit the Orange Bowl

Our 83% Free NCAA Football Bowl Picks look to continue with the postseason success with a pick in our favorite bowl of the year: the Lemon Bowl.

Or, the Orange Bowl, close enough. A citrus fruit is a citrus fruit.

Stanford -3 1/2 over Virginia Tech

Andrew Luck and the Cardinal should prove the better team, with the better pro prospect at the helm. The best, actually. Early reports have Luck as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft to the hapless Carolina Panthers, so this might be his last game with a winning team in five years. Look for him to take advantage.

Virginia Tech Covers For 2-0 Bowl Day

After USC beat Penn State 38-24 in the Rose Bowl, Virginia Tech was able to take care of a +2 spread and beat Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl, 20-7.

Although we're still upset that there isn't such a thing as the Lemon Bowl, we'll take a win in whatever other fruit-titled bowl we can find.

VT's win gives our Free NCAA Football Picks a 2-0, getting our bowl picks back on track after a little slip up.

Where's the Lemon Bowl?

There have been countless arguments about whether or not college football should move to a playoff system (yes) rather than the current bowl format (no).

But the biggest outrage, in our view, is that they have an Orange Bowl and not, you guessed it, a Lemon Bowl.

After betting on the Orange Bowl earlier today, we can't believe that our favorite fruit isn't represented. FedEx needs to get on this. Look at how well Lemmy fits in the logo!

Whatever the case, we remind you that we have a pick on Virginia Tech +2 over Cinci in this one, after USC took care of the -10 spread with a 28-24 win over Penn St in the Rose Bowl.

Good luck!
