The last bowl before the big dance – the Allstate BCS Championship Game the next day-- and what a doozy as both teams come into this game with a combined 17-game winning streak. These two teams have met seven times before between 1990 and 1996, with Northern Illinois having won six of those seven meetings. The last meeting in 1995 was a … [Read more]

This will be the first-ever meeting between two schools, as the Cotton Bowl--a bowl game that seems to have fallen off the radar in recent years--boasts a very good matchup between two highly-ranked and fairly local teams. The 10-2 Arkansas Razorbacks, who were once ranked No. 3 this season, and the 10-2 Kansas State Wildcats, a pleasant … [Read more]

The Clemson Tigers erased a mostly futile second half of the season by beating Virginia Tech for the second time this year in the SEC Championship Game to earn a trip to the Orange Bowl, while West Virginia did what it had to do by winning its last three games following a loss to Louisville, thus earning this spot by finishing as the highest ranked … [Read more]

This is just the second time these two teams have met in their school's histories. The last go around was for much higher stakes than this meeting as the Gators took down the Buckeyes in the 2007 BCS National Championship Game with relative ease.

Two teams that both had nice seasons based on preseason expectations square off in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. An undefeated Auburn team won the National Championship last season, but many forecasted gloom and doom this season with much of that team now in the NFL. Instead, the Tigers finished with a winning 7-5 record and they went a commendable 4-4 in … [Read more]

Oftentimes, the more minor bowls are decided more by desire than by talent. The Oklahoma Sooners were considered the favorites to win the national championship by many before this season started, but they looked to be just going through the motions in their two games following their second loss of the year and they are probably not too enthused … [Read more]

This is going to be the third time these two teams have met in the last 25 years, and Georgia who has taken the first two, will be looking to keep that little streak up in this year's edition of the Outback Bowl against the Michigan State Spartans. This is a match-up of two teams that lost their respective conference championship games, and … [Read more]

Robert Griffin III had a phenomenal season for the Baylor Bears, and was the worthy winner of the Heisman Trophy. Now, RG3 has the chance to have some fun at the expense of the 7-5 Washington Huskies in the Alamo Bowl vs. a defense that is allowing more than 33 points and 426 yards per game. Then again, if Baylor played any defense it would be … [Read more]

The Texas Longhorns did not exactly close the season out strongly, as their 27-25 win at Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night was their only win over the last four games.
