Bowl games

is it me or do they seem prety lame this year. been a lot of blowouts it seems. The rose bowl was a good game to watch. def gives tcu some credibility hanging on and beating an established team.

So who's your pick between Auburn and Oregon?

I would prefer to see oregon win it but I think auburn will win it.

Michigan and Michigan State got whupped!

TCU vs Wisconsin was able to keep my attention

Now that I think of it, the Big 10 has not fared so well in bowl games this year with the exception of my alma mater Illinois

Big ten has sucked so far. Does not bode well for my buckeyes. Gotta hand it to tcu... They showed up...

The ending of the UT/UNC sucked for some but others liked it.

I live in NC but am a UT fan.

The SEC lost all 3 of their first 3 games but made a comeback Saturday winning 3 out of 3.

The Big 10...sucked big time on Saturday losing all 5 games !!

The Rose Bowl was awesome I thought...I want some type of a playoff so I want the BCS busted and TCU came thru !!

Auburn and Oregon 'should' be an awesome game...I do think Auburn will win it BUT they should have to play TCU for it all but as we know...that can't happen.

I wonder if VT can hang with Stanford tonight...I hope so.

IMO all bowl games suck because they only prove which teams get the best ratings. Popularity contest instead of a sports matchup

I think Auburn will roll. Everybody is underestimating that SEC defense with the task of stopping the oregon offense. It is a better defense than they saw all year long in the pac ten. Just think back to last year. Oregon is the same exact team just with a change in qb name. An ohio state team that was exactly the same as this year stopped them flat on their face, and auburn is a BETTER team all around than that osu team. I think auburn stuffs the run game early and forces some passing turnovers. Cam throws for a couple tds. Oregon didn't scare me last year sand they don't scare me this year, they should have lost to a floundering Cal.

Stanford should run the ball down VTs throat. They should win easily.

I think the osu/ak game should be interesting. I think the sec curse continues and the ex-Michigan man Mallet will lead a last minute td drive against my buckeyes... ala texas in 2008.
