Bowl Season Viewing Guide: Volume II
Cash and Flowers (aka “the San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl”)
Boise State vs. TCU / San Diego, CA / December 23rd, 8pm / ESPN
There isn’t a lot to look forward to in terms of college football prior to January 1, but this is a good game to watch. Boise State is undefeated; TCU has two losses- one to Oklahoma and one to undefeated Utah. Boise State is 12th in scoring offense and 3rd in scoring defense; TCU is 20th in scoring offense and 2nd in scoring defense. It’s the #1 team in the WAC vs. the #2 team in the Mountain West. TCU’s favored by 2.5 and I like them to win.
The Free Trip to Hawaii for a Team That Doesn’t Deserve to go to Hawaii Bowl (aka “the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl”)
Notre Dame vs. Hawaii / Honolulu / December 24th, 8pm / ESPN
Gut check time I suppose for Notre Dame. A win provides some degree of momentum to next year; a loss provides further momentum to the “fire Charlie Weis”-ers. Hawaii put up a pretty good fight against Cincinnati in their final game of the season (lost 29-24), but otherwise has been a pretty big disappointment. Notre Dame is the 4th of the 6-6 teams and is favored by 1 over Hawaii in what amounts to a home game for the Rainbow Warriors.
