PPCS: Emerald Bowl

Bowl: Emerald Bowl
Has also been known as: San Francisco Bowl
Location: PNC Park, San Francisco, California

Time: 8:00pm EST
Would this Bowl survive Pizza Parlor Derek's Bowl Contraction?: San Francisco is an adequate destination but it would have to move to Monster Field as football games in baseball stadiums just doesn't work visually for me.

UCLA

Florida State

Fun Fact: The chemical Taxol, which is used in ovarian and breast cancer medicine has earned Florida State more than three times than what the popular beverage Gatorade earned the University of Florida.

Thoughts: One team's coming off the biggest upset of the year, the other is just playing the string to end a horribly disappointing season. It shouldn't be as simple as just picking UCLA here as surely this game isn't close to as significant as UCLA's upset of USC here. Expect them to come out flat in the first half leading to a scoreless first quarter. Florida State couldn't even score with Jenn Sterger this year, that's how anemic they are on offense, the defense is more talented than the statistics show.

Prediction: UCLA 21, Florida State 10

Florida State's Jenn Sterger and friend
