Gotta say, based on the general ineptitude of the RomoSapiens, these are the best two teams that will face off in Dallas for the whole of next year . . .

Arkansas wasn't eligible to be in the BCS since there were already 2 SEC teams picked.
They definitely would have torched the Michigan secondary. But their defense is not nearly as good as Virginia Tech's defense. So it would hopefully still have been a competitive game.

I have the sneaking suspicion that KSU doesn't quite show up for this one, but in any event, please let it be more competitive than the Orange Bowl.

For a bowl that used to be really prestigious, this isn't the most glamorous matchup ever.

6 vs 8
I would say 6 vs. 8 is a pretty nice matchup. I know you mean it's not name programs but just looking at the ranks makes it look like a BCS game. Hate to bring it up but both teams are higher ranked then Mich, VTech, WVU, or Clemson.

Refreshing...

...the first time in a few bowls there has been great play in the backfield from a team.
That being said, Arkansas tries to kamikaze its way to a first down and fails.
EDIT: Thus far, Arkansas DBs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Clemson DBs

It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk

End Of 1st Quarter
Lots of defense being played on both sides - something is amiss among the bowl gods, I think.
EDIT: Just like that, 10-0 Arkansas. Rather poorly defended kick return goes for a TD. If nothing else, we're in the 2nd quarter before the first special teams gaffe - that's better than most bowls to date this season.
