Its Bowling Season

If you watch ESPN in the month of December, which I'm willing to bet you do, you have seen all the Capital One Bowl Week commercials. They always try to make it seem that bowl week(s) is the best time for college football. Their argument is based on the belief that only the best teams are playing. But with 64 teams making bowl games, this is definitely not the case.

Having said that, I have to admit that their are some pretty sick games every year during bowl week.

Vince Young is Superman


Best. Interception. Ever.


And of course, the illest game I’ve ever seen



So if you want to catch some good games in the next couple of weeks, here is a small list of games worth watching.

Holiday Bowl: Arizona State vs. Texas (December 27)- one of the few non-BCS games involving 2 top-20 teams. Arizona State would be in a bigger bowl, but they got eaten up by USC.

Liberty Bowl: UCF vs. Mississippi State (December 29)- OK, so I don't care about either team at all. Still, UCF's running back, Kevin Smith, is going to rush for over 2,500 yards for this season and this is your only chance to see him.

Outback Bowl: Tennessee vs. Wisconsin (January 1)- Usually I'm not a big fan of bowl games named after restaurants but this game involves the second best from the SEC and Big 10. Second place is first place for losers.

Cotton Bowl: Missouri vs. Arkansas (January 1)- The most exciting player (RUN DMC) vs. the most exciting offense. What's not to like?

National Championship: LSU vs. Ohio State (January 7)- Even if you think this season was way to confusing and the BCS sucks, you still have to watch the national championship. Its unAmerican not to.
