Pat Forde picked us to win...
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls09/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=4748590
FedEx Orange Bowl
Georgia Tech vs. Iowa
Jan. 5, Miami (FOX, 8 ET)
Why to watch: If you enjoy assignment football, this is your game. It takes a disciplined defense to handle the Yellow Jackets' option offense, and nobody coaches a more disciplined defense than Iowa's Kirk Ferentz (37).
Who's happier to be there: Both teams should be pleased with their BCS bids. The Hawkeyes were the last at-large selection and should be extra enthusiastic.
Moderately useful Dash fact: According to ESPN Stats & Information, Georgia Tech averages 6 yards per carry when running on first down. Iowa averages 3.3 yards per carry.
Completely useless Dash fact: Georgia Tech hasn't had fewer than 50 rushing attempts in a game since Sept. 17 against Miami.
Dash pick: Georgia Tech 26, Iowa 23.
