sacker12 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'm more curious to see whether or not Troy really is going to the GMAC Bowl instead of the New Orleans Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I've heard about that rumor about Troy in the GMAC Bowl and that is possible, but I wonder if the GMAC Bowl would rather take a 6-6 UCLA team instead of a 9-3 Troy team.Anyhow, so far in the bowl world:-Florida State will play West Virginia in the Gator Bowl for Bobby Bowden's final game as the coach of the Seminoles. There was some wrangling around the other ACC teams in order to make this work, though. Because of this, North Carolina heads back to Charlotte to face Pitt in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.-USC crash lands in the Emerald Bowl to face Boston College. That's a heavy fall for the Trojans.-Other games of note: -SMU will make their first bowl trip since 1984 when they face Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl. -Toby Gerhart and the Stanford Cardinal will get another crack at a high level opponent as they will face Oklahoma in the Sun Bowl. -Northwestern and Auburn will meet for the first time in the Outback Bowl. -Houston and Air Force will meet again in the Armed Forces Bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Boise State vs TCU in the Fiesta Bowl. Dammit, man...I was really hoping each of those two could go up against one of the "big boys" rather than each other.-Florida State will play West Virginia in the Gator Bowl for Bobby Bowden's final game as the coach of the Seminoles. There was some wrangling around the other ACC teams in order to make this work, though. Because of this, North Carolina heads back to Charlotte to face Pitt in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. -SMU will make their first bowl trip since 1984 when they face Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl.How cute...Papa Bowden's swan song against his (long since) former school. I don't know why, but I don't see Papa Bowden riding off into the sunset with a "W", though I'm sure the Seminoles will most likely play their guts off to try to get it for him. Noel Devine, though, is a scary little bastard...and WV's QB isn't too shabby, either. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm surprised the Fiesta did this, if only because they could have had a match like Penn State versus VT? I would have loved to see Virginia Tech in a BCS bowl, if only to give Mike Crapo and Jim Risch something to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I must be only person here that is actually happy to see a Boise State-TCU matchup in the Fiesta Bowl.It maybe a Mid-Major Deathmatch, but this could have the makings of an epic barnburner.Other news and notes now out:-Troy is indeed going to the GMAC Bowl to face Central Michigan in a battle between the MAC Champs and the Sun Belt Champs. This puts Middle Tennessee in the New Orleans Bowl against Southern Miss.-Ohio is going to the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl to face old MAC rival Marshall. Temple is going to the EagleBank Bowl in Washington, DC. Their opponent is still up in the air because if Army wins against Navy next week, they'll play Temple. If not, UCLA gets the bid. Also bowling from the MAC are Bowling Green (Humanitarian Bowl vs. Idaho) and Northern Illinois (International Bowl vs. South Florida).-BYU will, once again, be in Las Vegas for the newly minted MAACO Bowl Las Vegas against Oregon State. Wyoming will also rep the Mountain West in the New Mexico Bowl against Fresno State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved to see Virginia Tech in a BCS bowl, if only to give Mike Crapo and Jim Risch something to work with.Please for the sake of everyone here, shut up!The #3 team at 12-0 against the #6 team at 13-0 is always going to be a better match-up than the #10 at 10-2 against the #12 team at 9-3.

floydnimrod Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Anyone else think FOX is revealing the teams backwards? It seems as if they are revealing the more suspenseful bowl pick first and then revealing the one we already know.

TFoA Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Florida State is going to play in a New Year's Day Bowl (Gator Bowl vs. West Virginia) and I'm pretty sure it's only because Bowden requested that his final game be played in Florida.But it's a brilliant move by the Gator Bowl officials. They are gonna make a killing off of this, that place will be PACKED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Is there any games outside of the BCS that interests you and why?Aside from the Gator Bowl (for obvious reasons ), I'm looking forward to the Hawaii Bowl.SMU vs Nevada...wonder how much of SMU landing in the Hawaii Bowl had to do with June Jones' Hawaii ties. Either way it goes, the run-and-shoot vs the Pistol? That should be a fun game to watch, simply for the offensive explosion that game should generate--SMU passing, the Wolfpack rushing. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
