Boise State vs. Louisville will be the game to watch. The final score will rival a basketball game. The over/under will be 100.

I don't know, one of those temas at least has sort of a defense. Look at Bowling Green verse Memphis, neither has a defense both both can put up points. Bowling Green scored more against Oklahoma then Texas did!!

Yeah, the Liberty Bowl could be high scoring. It depends on how Louisville's defense holds. They had a great defense this year, but it was largely against C-USA teams, so Boise will be a good test for them. Boise has a great run defense, but a horrible pass defense. One bright spot is that Boise is getting back one of their key secondary players, who has been injured much of the season. So maybe that will help their pass D a little. As a Boise fan, Louisville scares me a bit. Very cool, however, that they are both Top 10 teams (in all three polls). Makes the Liberty Bowl a great game.

Crothian, you're right about some of the lesser bowls. I'm actually hoping to go to the MPC Bowl (Fresno, Virginia). I have a chance to go free as a halftime volunteer. That will be a fun game, especially live. Not often you'll see Boise fans root for Fresno! (They're becoming fairly bitter rivals--a lot of hate flowing between players and such.)

Although Cal was ranked ahead of Texas in both polls Sunday, the Longhorns were close enough that when combined with the computer rankings, it was enough to leapfrog the Golden Bears.

GAH.

It's going to be a tough Bowl Season for the Big 10, they have some really good opponents this year. And I'm happy the MAC got I think 4 teams into Bowls which is great since they only have 2 tie ins. Time for the MAC to go beat up the big boys!!

Every bowl-eligible team except for South Carolina and Clemson (which declined any potential invitations due to a brawl) got to a bowl. My Orange -- who, despite a season-ending victory over BC, are decidedly mediocre, are in a bowl.

Chiming in real quick since gaming was short tonight.

Of course the OSU vs. OSU I will watch. It can only help the Bucks to play a Big 12 team before Texas next year.

Obviously Cal got snubbed. Should have been Cal v Michigan. I can't boycott that game though since it will give great insight for OSU for next year to watch Texas play Michigan. (I hope there's lots of note taking, OSU couldn't be in better shape playing a Big 12 team and watching Michigan play Texas).

Lousville vs. Boise State should be the best game in my estimation.

Home field advantage does exist for a reason, some teams really excel at home and not on the road......

Perhaps I wasn't blunt enough.

Hawaii beat NW & MSU entirely because of how the games were officiated.

I was all excited to watch a Cal/Michigan Rose Bowl this year. Would've been awesome. I probably won't even tune into a Texas/Michigan game.

I'm beside myself over this one.

The Rose Bowl should be Pac 10/Big 10, and the BCS can go flog itself.

Bad call.

Ah, I didn't watch either game so I wasn't aware of that....
