 Bowl season has plenty of enticing matchups prior to the BCS games. Assuming the teams come to play, the following five are must sees...
1) Poinsettia Bowl: Boise State and Texas Christian
Everyone is talking about this one. An undefeated, high powered offense against a 10-2 squad that has held every opponent but Oklahoma to 14 points or less.
2) Meineke Car Care Bowl: West Virginia and North Carolina
A defacto home game for the suddenly relevant Heels. The Neers have great skill players and both teams have been exciting most of the season. The only drawback to this one is the bowl name. Possibly the worst since the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl.
3) Chick Fil-A Bowl: Georgia Tech and LSU
Remember when everyone ran some type of option. In the current spread happy days it's refreshing to see how exciting a running attack can be. Don't expect many touchdowns from Paul Johnson's offense or from LSU's lack of any offensive consistency. Was Tech's win over Georgia a fluke or are the Jackets good enough to down another SEC defense.
4) Armed Forces Bowl: Air Force and Houston
The high powered Cougar offense will light up the air against the always potent Ground Force Falcons. If you like points, this is the bowl to watch.
5) PapaJohns.com Bowl: Rutgers and NC State
Both schools had their fans seeing red after hideous first halves of the season. Since, no two teams have been hotter. The Knights have been blowing people out and State has been rolling behind fabulous Freshman QB Russell Wilson.
