Florida State vs. Kentucky - we'll see how deep FSU really is and how well developed all of those 5-star athletes are. Bowden should be fired for "lack of institutional control". Hell! Switzer was and for good reasons. I think the cheating scandal ought to kick these students out of school - it does at a military academy.
Illinois vs. USC - The Rose Bowl was hell bent on making it a traditional bowl. Trying to have it both ways. I am shocked that either Hawaii or Georgia wasn't invited. Also, Illinois is "good" and had a couple of really good games this year but also got stuffed by Iowa.
LSU vs. Ohio State - Buckeyes had the Heisman winner last year vs. a Florida team that could have gone 7-5 in the regular season. Bucks win over a certifiable corpse like Michigan (only 14-3) showed me that in an important game they still can't move the ball with the power necessary. LSU's defense rocks the Bucks.
Georgia Tech vs. Fresno State - I remember vividly a Georgia Tech team taking a meaningless trip out to the west coast to play a bowl game. Other than the band and cheerleaders and a gaggle of parents who came out from Atlanta? And to the beautiful frozen tundra of Noise, Idaho? Hill will have his Bulldogs rady to play as they've been bowl-starved for a couple of years. A 6-5 Utah crushed Tech a few yars back, I expect Fresno to slam the ACC is a bowl game that probably costs more to travel to than the financial reward.
Michigan vs. Florida - Gators are used to being in fight-for-your-life scuffles. Wolverines are anemic even on a good day. Tim Tebow will single handedly embarrass Big Blue. PS: In all honesty, Rich Rodriguez isn't going to get it done in Ann Arbor.
