7. Also undefeated Utah vs. Alabama
Boise State should be playing Texas, not TCU.

3. Any Big Ten game, Captive
They're solid underdogs in ALL but one game.

9. Me too. I always punch a straight Big-10 ticket when it comes to bowls...
..I even cheered for "that team in Ann Arbor" when they BEAT the Gators. As a matter of fact, that game would not have been close if Mike "can't fingerpaint" Hart had not fumbled twice while going into the end zone.

However, this season I am also looking to see whether the hapless Domers can win their first bowl game since 1993 against Hawaii. For full disclosure, I want them to lose.

I would have liked to have seen Ball State vs. Utah/Boise.

5. Did you see the same final Gophers game of the season that I did?
I'd like to think otherwise, but considering the slide the Gophs went on in the 2nd half of the season, I don't expect much out of them in the Insight Bowl.

10. Didn't they just play Temple??
:hide:

Dude, we all go through rough years. I think there was a year in the mid-90's that Ohio State was not in a bowl game.

13. Yeah, it was an off-year for the Buckeyes. We only finished 9th
in the national polls.

:shrug:

Hmmm. How did the Vol's finish. Didn't Vandy have a winning record this year?? And now you have selected an Al Davis REJECT coach to your Vols! :rofl:

15. Actually it was a good year for the Buckeyes
They don't have to finish the season getting their ass kicked on national TV (again)

17. No
Edited on Tue Dec-16-08 04:07 PM by BOSSHOG
they don't deserve to be in a bowl game this year. They were downright pitiful and found creative ways to lose games late. Although they did win their bowl game, beat LSU with a TD at the end of the last game of the season.

Although if Arkansas played in the Big Ten they would be looking forward to playing in a late December Bowl.

21. None.
Only playoff games count, and there is only one playoff game: The BCS Championship Game.

All other post season games are pointless now.
