Michael Floyd WR for Notre Dame should be going in the first round, I know I'd pick him

what i plan to watch:

Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Wisconsin (can't wait to see what happens!)
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. Stanford (Stanford doubles up the cowboys)
the BCS NC (the unicorn gores the dark lord once again)
Outback Bowl:Michigan State vs. Georgia (go dawgs, ought to be a good matchup)
Ticket City Bowl: Penn State vs. Houston (meh, maybe)
Discover Orange Bowl: Clemson vs. West Virginia (drink holgo drink)
Hyundai Sun Bowl: Utah vs. Georgia Tech (lose tech lose)
Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl: Ohio State vs. Florida (the clock struck twelve and now both teams carriages have turned into pumpkins. OSU wins a game it shouldnt have to play)
Champs Sports Bowl: Florida State vs. Notre Dame (lol, speaking of hollow nostalgia)
AutoZone Liberty Bowl: Cincinnati vs. Vanderbilt (better football is going to be played here than in the capitol one bowl, ok that's an overstatement, but this will be better, i promise)
Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl: Illinois vs. UCLA (the zombie program bowl— good watchin')

Considering this is only like a third of the bowls, and like half of these are inessential, we really need that playoffs. Some of these matchups (TCU vs Louisiana tech) are such fucking shit.

totally already shirking my initial promises to watch bowls. Its funny. It feels like my interest in college football waned to nearly zero soon after the regular season was over. This is def more symptomatic of the December bowl landscape being an utter wasteland, rather than me having better things to think about and watch... though not having espn really is going to cramp my style after new years day. :\

QFT.


As for bowl watching...meh. Not liking the high probability of being the first win for Owen Nine. I agree tOSU shouldn't have to play the game, but Florida is such a train wreck there is not much chance of us pulling out a win. I'm not going to claim (or lie to myself) about better athletes (I'll call it 'near even') getting a win for UF. Coaching? Pfffttt...'near even', though we lost an overweight OC ...does that help us or hurt us? 'Near Even' with a tilt for tOSU for maintaining staff through the season into the bowl game. I will watch the game, but I'm hoping we keep it close, say 24-17, in the Florida loss.
 
sup TLB! despite you being a fan of one of my Top 5 most hated NCAA teams, I am elated to see you back around here. actually, we've brought your name up in my forum a good amount of times. I thought about you when my Buckeyes went against the Gators in the early part of NCAA hoops, and I'm thinking about you in preparation for our up-and-coming bowl match-up

Florida looks impotent this year on offense, which is a strange revelation for a team of such usual high-octane and high-caliber offensive schemes. I have always thought that your QB John Brantley has sucked, but the team has been in a downward spiral since he's been injured about mid-season. I think tOSU is about even, concerning the QB spot, because our QB is a true freshman. although Braxton Miller has an interesting future ahead of him with Urbz

how did you feel about Urban Meyer "coming home," btw??

tOSU per usual has a good defense, although not as dominant as they usually are on that side of the ball. Florida still has athletes and still has a good defense as well. I think they are about even there

I don't know much about Florida's situation concerning their run game. but I do think tOSU is stacked back there, especially during this part of the season now that Senior "Boom" Herron is back from suspension - so I am giving the advantage to tOSU here, but I could be wrong

I do think tOSU wins in a close game, and I will be a little more excited to watch this crappy bowl than if tOSU was against an opponent they truly deserved to be against, like say a team from the MAC or WAC

AND HOT DAMN!!! did anybody else watch that Baylor VS Washington game last night? it was 67-56 Baylor. I don't think either team fielded a defense all game! but it was the most entertaining bowl game to watch yet!!

I'm still also amped up to see UGA VS MSU (I think these teams, like tOSU VS FLA, are dead even) and Wisconsin VS Oregon in the Rose Bowl. I have a feeling that Wisco will be able to run over Oregon's better-than-advertised defense. we'll see
 
Auburn and Virginia are playing on espn.. its tied 7 to 7. I'd really like to see Auburn win this game... we shall see. :).

Score update: Aub-28 & Vir-17

spaceyourbass - I read every single damn sentence! it's refreshing to know that you also have a bit of footbaw knowledge stowed into that brain of yours. however, I got over that "GO COCKS!" juvenile shit long ago, as I do believe I had a COCKS hat when I was in middle school ;) USCe is doing some things right, namely Jadeveon Clowney - that dude is such a raw, brutal, and young defensive talent that I am a huge fan of. I think he has what it takes to be a big NFL talent. I am also a huge fan of the zone-read offense, offensively speaking. I'm impressed that you know so much about that offense. if your team has some athletic lineman and a RB with good vision that can make solid cuts - it is the way to go and it works in the NCAA level. for those not in the know, zone-read works so well because the OL doesn't necesarily bloke a man, they block an area, which opens up some big holes once again if your team's RB has vision

Thanks for the props. Yea I got a little football knowledge in me. I would have played more in high school but was a better wrestler so I stuck with that. I've always studied the game, though. A sport like basketball or soccer is much easier to master strategy-wise, but football is just crazy complicated...and the way the game develops throughout the years...man you gotta love it.

As for Clowney, pretty soon he's gonna be scarrier then the clown from that movie It.

Yea so after today big 10 is 1-4 in bowl games with MSU barely getting by UGA. Sorry to say but i think axl your argument has no backing anymore.
