JamesCraven Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 "Looks like my Huskies will be shut out of a bowl again this season, seeing as how there's only two places for them to go." They will go bowling, thank you. Motor City Bowl to be exact. Hope you like Detroit in December...not that there's anything wrong with a winter's date in Motown, though.

Dilbert Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Conference USA- Cincinnati struggled at the begining of the season but have all of a suddon bounced back beating Southern Miss, and Memphis. I think the Cats can beat South Florida, and Im hoping we can upset Louisville. If so my guess is the Cats will be in the Plains Capital Fort Worth Bowl. I was right UC is going to the Plains Capital Fort Worth Bowl!! Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesCraven Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 Today (12/04) is the last day before the rest of the bowl bids are handed out. The first post will be finally locked in after tomorrow's bids are handed out. After that, make predictions on who will win the games and post them here!

Waffles Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Syracuse reaches deal to go to either Las Vegas or Champs Sports Bowl. Depending on the result of the Cal and USC games today, the Orange are either going to Vegas or Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffles Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Huh?Anyway, the Syracuse Orange will (unofficially) face Wyoming in the Las Vegas Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCraven Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 Hang on, UDub. Cal-Berkley wasn't chosen for the BCS. The look for the Pac-10 is this as Texas winds up in the Rose Bowl Game presented by citi: California-Berkley - Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. Arizona State - Vitalis Sun Bowl. Oregon State - Insight Bowl. UCLA - Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl.And you go to the Champs Sports Tangerine Bowl.
