ROSE BOWL: Ohio State (11-0) vs. USC (10-0-1)--Earle Bruce's Buckeyes boast one of the nation's top offensive threats in quarterback Art Schlichter. Southern Cal boasts two of the others in quarterback Paul McDonald and Heisman trophy-winning halfback Charles White, plus a stingy defense led by bone-crunching linebacker Dennis Johnson.

SUGAR BOWL: Alabama (11-0) vs. Arkansas (10-1)--Wouldn't it serve the Southeastern Conference right if Arkansas shellacked Alabama? Any conference that gave Georgia, a 6-5 team, the chance to be conference champion (which would have happened had the Tide lost to Auburn last week) deserves to get blown out. But signal-caller Steadman Shealy runs Alabama with precision, and barring fumbles the Tide will roll. Alabama 24, Arkansas...
BLUEBONNET BOWL: Purdue (9-2) vs. Tennessee (7-4)--Sorry, Wilson Schlichter, McDonald et al., but Purdue's Mark Herrmann is the best quarterback in the country. The Vols are a strong 7-4, but any 9-2 Big Ten team can whip a 7-4 SEC team, Johny Majors notwithstanding. Purdue 31, Tennessee...
