Tis The Season To Go Bowling

Continuing on this beaten path of Bowl bid talk, here are the actual BCS Bowls.

Rose Bowl (Championship)
USC (12-0) v. Texas (12-0)

Not even the BCS could’ve gotten this match-up wrong.

Fiesta Bowl
Notre Dame (9-2) v. Ohio State (9-2)

Two at large teams were picked for this game for one reason: to make some money. Easily the second best BCS Bowl pairing.

Orange Bowl
Florida State (7-4) v. Penn State (10-1)

The flaw of having automatic bids is that FSU gets in to a BCS bowl and Oregon gets left out. One play against Michigan and PSU could’ve really rattled the BCS system.

Sugar Bowl
West Virginia (10-1) v. Georgia (10-2)

Georgia was the best team in the SEC and West Virginia hasn’t gotten the respect they deserve. What happened to Alabama?

Some other notable bowls that should be interesting:

Champs Sports Bowl
Clemson v. Colorado

MPC Computers Bowl
Boston College v. Boise State

Alamo Bowl
Michigan v. Nebraska

Holiday Bowl
Oregon v. Oklahoma

Peach Bowl
Miami v. LSU

Cotton Bowl
Texas Tech v. Alabama

Capital One Bowl
Wisconsin v. Auburn

Gator Bowl
Louisville v. Virginia Tech

Let’s hear some predictions on the BCS bowl games. Maybe we could get a pool going on just the BCS games, with spreads and all.
