Cotton Bowl (Jan. 2, 1 pm ET on ESPN): Western Michigan vs Wisconsin

Western Michigan Broncos: Corey Davis, WR

P.J. Fleck has turned the Western Michigan program around, and now they’re going into a huge bowl game with a tough matchup against Wisconsin. There are a few guys from this team who will get drafted, but Corey Davis is far and away their best NFL prospect.

Davis has the potential to be the first receiver taken off of the board given his size (6’3”, 213 pounds) and elite route running ability. Once the ball is in his hands, Davis is tough to bring down and can pick up plenty of yards after the catch.

Davis has dominated the MAC all year, and he should be an early first-round pick in April.

Wisconsin Badgers: Ryan Ramczyk, OT

He’s not going to be the most exciting Wisconsin prospect to watch, but offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk is probably going to be the first Badgers player selected in the NFL draft.

A former Division III transfer, Ramczyk has been a dominating force on the Wisconsin offensive line. He’s a beast at 6’6” and 314 pounds, rarely gives up pressure in pass protection and can get to the second level in the running game. Another solid outing from Ramczyk could solidify his status as the top offensive tackle in this class.

Other players to watch: RB Chris Clement, OLB Vince Biegel, OLB T.J. Watt, DB Sojourn Shelton
