Big Time Bowl Breakdown

There wont be any predictions made on this post, we shall wait until the week of everything and there are rumors of a live blog on 1st of January but we shall see about that one. Also following this post will be how a 16 team playoff would look like it (we can only dream).

BCS Bowls:
Oklahoma vs. Florida-BCS National Championship Game: This game will be everything and then some. Tim Tebow is my Heisman once again, he has willed his team to victory and whether you love/hate Florida, Tebow is something else. The guy is a class act and a motivational leader for young kids. Oklahoma offense has yet to be figured out and Sam Bradford is a close second in the Heisman. As much as Texas deserves it, this game will be just as good.

Penn State vs. USC-Rose Bowl- I will be glued to my TV for this one because I think the Nittany Lions have enough offense to keep up with USC defense and I hope that Penn State keeps it close for the sake of the Big 10.

Alabama vs. Utah-Sugar Bowl- For the Mid-Major sake, they better hope that the Utes can keep this one close, they havent seen a team like the Crimson Tide on the offensive and defensive sides of the football. They need a huge performance out of Brian Johnson and the defense in general.

Ohio State vs. Texas-Fiesta Bowl- Yes we all know that Ohio State has been the bridesmaids for the last couple of years but I really think this is going to be a close battle with the Longhorns having little defense plus they really havent seen a quarterback like Terrelle Pryor all season.

Virgina Tech vs. Cincinnati-Orange Bowl- I think this one will be better than people expect. The Hokies could give us a preview of how good they are going to be in the next couple years and the Bearcats could prove why they could be a mainstay in the BCS for many years if Brian Kelly stay like he says he will.

Other Interesting Games
Georgia vs. Michigan State-Capital One Bowl- Usually a good game and it features two great running backs in Javon Ringer and Knowshawn Moreno. It will be interesting to see if the Dawgs have solved their defense problems.

Boise State vs. TCU-Poinsettia Bowl- I will be watching this one in a battle of great mid-major teams going at it. TCU has already played spoiler this year and you wonder if the Horned Frog defense can go play for play with the great Bronco offense.

Oregon vs. Oklahoma State-Holiday Bowl- This game could break the scoreboard and the Holiday Bowl has had some classics in the past. Also this might be Mike Bellotti best coaching job of his career as he has finally found a soild quarterback.

Ole Miss vs. Texas Tech-Cotton Bowl- The Red Raiders should be playing in the BCS but oh well, this should be a great game. Houston Nutt tends to take it up on notch when he is an underdog and he will have to figure out an answer for Graham Harrell-Michael Crabtree.

Happy Bowl Season.
