Outback Bowl
#19 Auburn (8-4) v. #18 Wisconsin (10-3) - ESPN2, 12:00pm
Sammie Coates WR RS Jr. Auburn 1st-2nd
Reese Dismukes C Sr Auburn 2nd
Gabe Wright DT Sr Auburn 3rd
Shon Coleman OT RS Soph. Auburn 3rd-4th
Cameron Artis-Payne RB Sr Auburn 3rd-5th
Kris Frost OLB RS Jr. Auburn 4th-5th
Dhaquille Williams (i) WR Jr. Auburn 4th-6th
Jermaine Whitehead FS Sr Auburn 5th-7th
Jonathon Mincy CB RS Sr. Auburn 5th-7th
Jonathan Jones CB Jr. Auburn 5th-7th
Cassanova McKinzy ILB Jr. Auburn 5th-7th
C.J. Uzomah TE Sr Auburn 6th-UD
Robenson Therezie SS Sr Auburn 6th-UD
DaVonte Lambert DE Jr. Auburn 6th-UD
Joshua Holsey FS Jr. Auburn 6th-UD
Derrick Moncrief SS Jr. Auburn 6th-UD
Melvin Gordon RB RS Jr. Wisconsin 1st-2nd
Dan Voltz C RS Soph. Wisconsin 2nd-3rd
Rob Havenstein OT RS Sr. Wisconsin 3rd-5th
Tyler Marz OT RS Jr. Wisconsin 3rd-5th
Vince Biegel OLB RS Soph. Wisconsin 3rd-5th
Dallas Lewallen G RS Sr. Wisconsin 4th-6th
Warren Herring DT RS Sr. Wisconsin 4th-6th
Michael Caputo SS RS Jr. Wisconsin 6th-UD
Sam Arneson TE Sr. Wisconsin 7th

Great way to get the day started. Rams fans are going to want to get a good look at the offensive lines today. Dismukes would certainly make sense. And while I'm higher than most on Wisconsin's linemen, I'd still suggest they're legit day 3 options. I'd be fine with a late round flyer on G Kyle Costigan too.

Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic
#8 Michigan St. (10-2) v. #5 Baylor (11-1) - ESPN, 12:30pm
Trae Waynes CB RS Jr. Michigan St. 1st
Shilique Calhoun DE RS Jr. Michigan St. 1st
Jack Conklin OT RS Soph. Michigan St. 1st-2nd
Kurtis Drummond FS RS Sr. Michigan St. 2nd-3rd
Tony Lippett WR RS Sr. Michigan St. 3rd-5th
Jeremy Langford RB RS Sr. Michigan St. 3rd-5th
Mike Sadler P RS Sr. Michigan St. 5th-7th
Taiwan Jones ILB Sr. Michigan St. 5th-7th
Bryce Petty QB RS Sr. Baylor 2nd-3rd
Antwan Goodley WR RS Sr. Baylor 3rd-4th
Shock Linwood RB RS Soph. Baylor 3rd-5th
Levi Norwood WR RS Sr. Baylor 4th-6th
Xavien Howard CB RS Soph. Baylor 4th-6th
Bryce Hager ILB RS Sr. Baylor 5th-6th
Orion Stewart SS RS Soph. Baylor 5th-7th
Spencer Roth P Sr Baylor 6th-UD
Kyle Fuller C RS Soph. Baylor 6th-UD
Corey Coleman WR RS Soph. Baylor 6th-UD

This would have even more impact, but Baylor DE Shawn Oakman and OT Spencer Drango have both announced they're headed back to Waco in 2015. Both could have been 1st round selections. Obviously the big watch here is Petty. We'll have plenty of QB discussions in the months ahead, and Petty will certainly be a part of them.

Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl
#16 Missouri (10-3) v. #25 Minnesota (8-4) - ABC, 1:00pm
Shane Ray DE RS Jr. Missouri 1st
Markus Golden DE RS Sr. Missouri 3rd-4th
Michael Scherer OLB RS Soph. Missouri 4th-6th
Marcus Murphy RB RS Sr. Missouri 6th-UD
Mitch Morse OT RS Sr. Missouri 6th-UD
Harold Brantley DT RS Soph. Missouri 6th-UD
David Cobb RB Sr. Minnesota 3rd-4th
Maxx Williams TE RS Soph. Minnesota 3rd-5th
Theiren Cochran DE RS Jr. Minnesota 5th-7th
Cameron Botticelli DT RS Sr. Minnesota 6th-UD

Not a huge draft watch, but it's a last shot to get in some Shane Ray viewing. He should be off the board by the time the Rams draft at 10.
