Miami Beach Bowl, 2 p.m. ESPN
BYU (8-4) vs. Memphis (9-3)
BYU started the year 4-0, then dropped its next four without QB Taysom Hill, but rebounded to win its final four games after Christian Stewart got his feet under him. He's completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 22 TDs and six picks. Memphis has won its last six games, but all of those came against .500 or worse records. The Tigers do own a good win over a 9-3 Cincinnati team and a close seven-point loss to UCLA this season. Overall, I just think BYU is ahead of Memphis as a team, though the Tigers are on the rise under 38-year-old third-year coach Justin Fuente.
BYU 27, Memphis 24
