Here's a thread for some talk about all the bowls in general. Which ones are you looking forward to? Which ones do you think you can pick as locks? Which ones suck?
Here's my initial rundown:
This bowl season as a whole is kind of a letdown. This season sees a lot of great teams with very good championship arguments (or at least BCS arguments) being left out in the cold. The BCS bowl matchups are pretty disappointing, but most of the games should be good. But I'd prefer to have seen Alabama match up against Texas as a 1b championship game with Utah playing Ohio State (or preferably, a team that isn't Ohio State and is more deserving than Ohio State).
The worst bowl: Orange. VaTech vs. Cincinnati sticks out as a terrible game considering that it's a BCS bowl game. In my opinion, this game does nothing but make an argument against the BCS. I hope it lives up to its billing and ends up being a horribly boring game.
The best bowls: Rose and Poinsettia. USC against Penn State should be one hell of a game. I can't wait to see how that Penn State offense does against the Trojan defense. And Boise State vs. TCU in the Afterthought Bowl is an unbelievable matchup. It's just a shame that they had to do it in such a lower class bowl.
Matchups that I would love to see instead: Texas vs. Alabama, Utah vs. Ohio State, Boise State vs. Texas Tech, TCU vs. Michigan State, Ball State vs. Missouri, Georgia vs. Oklahoma State, BYU vs. Oregon
My picks in select bowls:
Oklahoma over Florida
USC over Penn State
Texas over Ohio State (by a huge margin)
Alabama over Utah
VaTech over Cincinnati
Boise State over TCU
Ole Miss over Texas Tech
Oklahoma State over Oregon
Georgia over Michigan State
Oregon State over Pittsburgh
LSU over Georgia Tech
Notre Dame over Hawaii
South Carolina over Iowa
Missouri over Northwestern
BYU over Arizona
Vanderbilt over Boston College
