When you are going to play the bowl games it is better to take time to study on the games before they start playing because when they do they come fast and furious and often you don't have time to cap them all correctly.
Here is an article that I found online that should help out with some of the Bowl games.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
But forget all the tree-trimming and dreidel-spinning and whatever non-denominational activities atheists, communists and scientologists get into this time of year.
For me the holidays are all about college football.
Starting on Dec. 20, me and the rest of the worshippers of the crystal football will enjoy two full weeks of bowl games, culminating with the greatest gift of all – a national championship game between the only two undefeated teams in the country.
Top that, Hanukkah Harry.
Just one small problem. If you’re like me, you’ve been spending every New Year’s Day since you could grow a good enough mustache to buy a six-pack, lying on the couch in the fetal position, hung over to the high heavens with only the endless stream of bowl games on television to soothe your pounding cranium.
Unfortunately, there’s no excuse for skipping out on dinner at the in-laws’ this year because there isn’t a single bowl game scheduled for Jan. 1.
Because the holiday falls on a Sunday, the NFL gets the airwaves to themselves and tradition be damned.
If I wasn’t so hungover, I’d be outraged.
Las Vegas Bowl
What better place to start the bowl talk than fabulous Las Vegas?
For me, nothing rings in the holidays like showgirls, blackjack and complimentary booze.
And it sounds like the kids from Cal feel the same way. Bears coach Jeff Tedford admitted earlier this week that staying focused on the game won’t be easy, pointing to a full schedule of pep rallies, banquets and hospital visits.
Sorry coach, but I think players getting loose in a children’s hospital is the least of your worries in Sin City.
On the other hand, the BYU Cougars think they have an advantage in Vegas – and it’s not the +7 points or the 20,000 fans expected to make the 340-mile trip from Provo, Utah.
Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall says in a place like Vegas, he feels better knowing that he’s got 29 seniors, 23 married men and 62 players who’ve completed Mormon missions.
BYU also has an Honor Code that stipulates players won’t break the law, drink alcohol, or engage in a list of other vices.
But as we know, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Champs Sports Bowl
Colorado is a mess.
No wonder the books don’t have a line out on this game.
The Buffs have a concussed quarterback who may or may not play on Dec. 27, an offensive lineman suspended for a racist e-mail to another student, and a head coach in the unemployment line.
But even though things are chaotic in Colorado, Clemson head coach Tommy Bowden isn’t getting too cocky about his chances.
"When I talk to my team for the first time, I`m going to talk about recent history at Clemson," Bowden said. "We`ve had that happen to us twice at Clemson, where there`s a head coaching change before a bowl game, and we won both of them."
The Tigers won the 1978 Gator Bowl in Danny Ford’s coaching debut and more recently celebrated a Peach Bowl victory after Ken Hatfield was fired in 1993.
According to Bowden, Colorado is a dangerous team because of all the recent adversity.
"I think we`ll see a more focused team, a little wounded with their backs to the wall. We`re going to get their A-game, and I think recent history at Clemson shows that a team in that position can perform well."
But oddsmakers aren’t just waiting on Colorado’s Joel Klatt . They’re also holding off until they hear word on Clemson QB Charlie Whitehurst , who had arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder earlier this month.
Bowden says he’ll play in the game, "as long as he gets the practice time that is needed."
Holiday Bowl
This is where we’ll find out what kind of coach Bob Stoops really is.
After going to three national championship games in the last five years, Stoops’ Sooners are relegated to a not-even-close to BCS bowl game against a probably-should-have-been BCS bowl team.
Oklahoma fans wanted more than a 7-4 season and to them anything less than a date in Pasadena is a disappointment. But Stoops is more concerned with his young team with a lot of players who’d seen more presidential administrations than losses on the football field.
In that situation, he admits some players, “start to think it happens every year.”
But the Oregon Ducks are a 10-1 team with a chip on their shoulder. They were passed over by the Fiesta Bowl in favor of two teams with worse records and they’ll likely be fired up to prove themselves to the country.
Oregon also has the No. 8 passing attack in the country and if you can believe it, after a season-ending injury to quarterback Kellen Clemens , the offensive numbers actually went up.
Not good news for a team like Oklahoma, which showed a serious vulnerability to the pass all year.
But there’s still a chance. If Stoops can slow the pace with a steady running game and get his defense on track, the Sooners might surprise as 3-point underdogs in San Diego.
Outback Bowl
The No.1 thing on Urban Meyer’s mind heading into the Jan. 2 Outback Bowl is his No. 2 quarterback.
After learning that second-string pivot Josh Portis has decided to transfer, the Florida Gators coach suddenly found himself without an experienced backup for starter Chris Leak .
"Huge concern," Meyer said. "Keep Chris healthy."
Leak’s health hasn’t been an issue to this point in the season – Portis made occasional spot duty appearances, but Leak has shown Brett Favre-ish durability behind center.
He’ll face a tough Iowa defense that is ranked No. 3 in the Big Ten, but, this unit hasn’t had much success getting to the quarterback this year. With the exception of a six-sack game against Wisconsin on Nov. 12, this Hawkeyes defense doesn’t look much like the one that sacked Leak three times in a 2004 Outback Bowl victory.
Junior Gavin Dickey , who had switched from quarterback to receiver this year, has been taking snaps with the second team and redshirt freshman Cornelius Ingram has been practicing at quarterback and tight end.
Fiesta Bowl
I’m reminded of just about every season of 24 when I look at the Fiesta Bowl matchup.
Why?
Because much like the inevitable infiltration of C.T.U. by enemy spies, it seems Ohio State has a mole buried behind enemy lines and she could be turning over sensitive information to dangerous Buckeyes agents.
Apparently, the older sister of Notre Dame’s starting quarterback Brady Quinn is dating OSU star linebacker A.J. Hawk . Although Hawk says, “We don’t talk football with her” Laura Quinn seems concerned for her brother’s safety.
"He`ll be coming at Brady every play," Laura said. "He`s not someone you want to mess with."
No word yet on whether Laura put any money down on the Buckeyes as 4-point favorites, but considering the Irish haven’t won a bowl in their last seven tries, it might not be a bad idea.
