Best/most interesting bowl games?
Here it is. The complete bowl schedule.
Look at the Arizona Bowl in Tucson, the newest bowl game: Nevada vs Colorado State.
THEY'RE FROM THE SAME CONFERENCE
Look at that Las Vegas Bowl. That, IMO, is can't-miss television.

if I was a casual fan, Florida's complete lack of offense would take some of the luster off this game.

why the Playoff semifinals are played on New Year's Eve this year...
I loved last year watching a slate of New Years Day bowl games leading up to the playoff games
To me it seems pretty anticlimactic in terms of a whole viewing experience to get the playoff games before New Years Day

It really was effective advertising though because, if we could live that long, we literally would remember it for centuries it was that annoying.

it's the only way to keep the games from being played at the same time and the Rose/Sugar will not be moved from the 1st unless they have to for the NFL
December 6th, 2015 at 6:52 PM ^
December 6th, 2015 at 5:39 PM ^
They should have scheduled that game for Monday Night on 1/4/16, stupid asses....they used to give us BCS Bowl games on weeknights, that was fun to uncluster the games.

The Kohler Toilet Bowl. It is played December 18th in Yuma, Arizona. Usually features Big Ten 12-14 vs Pac 12 last place, but they reserve the right to offer the bowl to a shitty MAC team if the B1G is too good that year.

Just looking at this lineup of nondescript bowl games and teams, I am reminded that we didn't even go to one of those fleabag bowls last year.
Thank God for Harbaugh!

The Russell Athletic Bowl looks intriguing (sp?). Baylor vs N. Carolina. NC is going to be pretty mad about the ACC Camp game and the blown call at the end there.
TCU vs Oregon in the Alamo Bowl should be fun as well.

Re; Air Force-Cal I was thinking the exact same thing, the only way it's not a close game is if either Cal forces a lot of fumbles or Air Force manages to set up a zone that gets a ton of interceptions like what they did to Houston a few years ago, really looking forward to this one as I love it when Air Force gets to play a big-time school.
December 6th, 2015 at 5:55 PM ^
will be a hell of a football game I think
December 6th, 2015 at 6:12 PM ^
I like these match ups the B1G could have a good year and get some respect, maybe having Barry Alverez on the committee really helped. In rough order of confidence
Wins:
1. Michigan over Florida. No explaination necessary
2. OSU over Notre Is there a way the both could lose? I think Meyer gets it done again.
3. Iowa over Stanford. Iowa is really solid and Stanford is a good match for them.
4. MN over CMU. I think the new guy gets it done.
5. NW over TN. Ftiz finds a way
6. MSU over Bama, Cook better than Coker and State getting at least a draw at the LOS.
7. IU over Duke. This could go either way but I like IU's QB
Losses:
1. USC over Wisconsin. I dunno about Cryst
2. GA over PSU. Franklin is in over his head and the new GA coach will spank PSU
3. UCLA over Nebraska Was Bo really that big a dick?
I make it 7-3 today, that sounds crazy but I think the B1G looks very good this bowl season. The best of the B1G did well last seasson and this is another good year.
December 6th, 2015 at 6:36 PM ^
Bama IS going to destroy MSU. It's going to happen. Got it?!?
My other prediction is Duke over Indiana. The B1G is a very top heavy conference and it will show. I think we go 5-5 this year.

You realize Georgia doesn't actually have a coach for this game, right? He'll be at the Alabama game. Should be fun to see if PSU can beat a team that doesn't have a coach. Is bad coaching better than no coaching at all?
December 6th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
Win or Lose, Sparty is in the CFP and we have to listen to that for a year. Come on Harbaugh.....our fingers are just itching to type our "ha-ha's", we just need a reason.
OSU-ND; how can you root for both teams to lose? Boring game.
There are only 2 games I am interested in: Fla. vs Mich. and Iowa vs. Stanford.
December 6th, 2015 at 6:39 PM ^
This is my 2nd favorite sporting event/collective behind March Madness. I will watch as many of these games as humanly possible.

If Boykin is healthy, this could be a fun game to watch. Oregon was playing some good football at the end of the year.
December 6th, 2015 at 6:20 PM ^
Should make for must miss television.

And for $250 a ticket in the stadium. And this was the game that was a blizzard one year.
December 6th, 2015 at 6:27 PM ^
I'm looking forward to the Peach Bowl. Can't wait to see Houston and Herman against some of the big boys in FSU.
December 6th, 2015 at 6:35 PM ^
Outside of the Citrus Bowl…
-Alamo Bowl…I am interested in the final score of a TCU-Oregon game.
-Both Semifinal games…I expect Clemson-Oklahoma to be an exciting shootout. MSU-Alabama I expect to be like the SEC Championship game i.e. slow and close early with Bama opening it up late.
-Russell Athletic Bowl…UNC-Baylor should be a high scoring and very entertaining game.

will be fascinating to watch.
December 6th, 2015 at 7:05 PM ^
1) Citrus
2&3) CFP Semis
4) The Holy War at the Las Vegas Bowl. I am not a fan of either team but PUMPED this is happening
5) Rose
6) Fiesta
7) Alamo (#15 Oregon and #11 TCU)
8) Tangerine (aka Russel Athletic, UNC-Baylor, the almost NY6 bowl)
9) Boca Bowl (Temple and Toledo, the best bowl game with mid majors, including the Peach)
10) Sugar
11) Outback
12) Peach
I think this year has a good slate of games, with all of the top 20 playing each other except for LSU (instead Tennessee is playing NW in the Outback)
December 6th, 2015 at 7:18 PM ^
This is the best bowl slate in YEARS, IMO.
I like everything 12/28 and later.
December 6th, 2015 at 7:20 PM ^
I live in Nashville, the schadenfreude if NorthWestern beats Tennessee would be unbelievabe, please, please please let this happen.

Would it even be an upset though?
Northwestern is ranked #13 in the country and is 10-2 with a top notch win over a top 10 team.
TN has beaten nobody and has 4 losses.
