Make Your Bowl Picks/Comments

What is the deal with pushing the Championship back to the 8th of January, not a fan of that?

what happended to the houston bowl from last year, is that over or changed sites already. and then why are the gmac bowl and international in the middle of the bcs. this bowl system is getting way outta hand. Someone needs to limit the amount of bowls there are.

[clonerules]

houston bowl is now the texas bowl.

[galles15]

what is up with all these new bowls. some of them I have no clue why they exist. I remember playing the boise bowl or something like that up at boise st. now that bowl isn't there because boise st. is goin to a bcs. Now we have a New Mexico bowl that New Mexico makes. Wtf. Why not have an Ames Bowl and invite our 4-8 Cyclones play Baylor at Jack Trice. When teams like Iowa 6-6 can make it to a bowl you have to know there is too many bowls. I am all for a playoff system where the top 16 or 32 teams go to a playoff style championship. This would also resolve the Michigan vs. Florida controversy.

sorry about posting more than once. but if the houston bowl is now the texas bowl why aren't they playing at reliant stadium. i belive they play in california

Come on, you're seriously gonna tell me that you don't wanna kick off the new year by watching Ohio vs. Southern Miss or Cinci vs. Central Michigan?

Weird, right?

galles15--I don't know if there are so many new bowls, but probably just a change in the title sponsor's name.

[galles15]

ah, just confusing with all these new names. I know ESPN is trying to add that side thing where everyone is going on what the bowls have been called

Houston isn't there because they had $$ issues, and owed people too much money. (Anyone know if they ever paid us/BigXII for last year?) So CFB didn't award them their contract or whatever for this season.

But, some sports group (group that owns the Texans, or something, I don't really remember) went and got the contract to host in Reliant Stadium - the name "houston bowl" is "taken".
But yea, it's in Houston, in Reliant. Technically the "new" houston bowl, but different people, and I have no clue if the Houston Bowl comes back next year or of Texas bowl stays.

Please do a little research. The "Boise Bowl" is the MPC Computers bowl. Where the Canes take on powerhouse Nevada.

Wow. This is pathetic. I'm ashamed to be a College Football fan with games like papajohns.com bowl and stupidflanders.com bowl

We need a playoff now.

[jkoo]

Are we picking worst bowl name? I vote for the Papajohns.com Bowl.

followed closely by San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia bowl and the Gaylords Hotels Music City Bowl.......you gotta love corporate sponsorships that only make bowls seem less legitimate.

[mustangwinner97]

are those times central or eastern?

[AirWalke]

If Florida manages to upset Ohio State this year, Iowa will have faced several former National Championship teams in bowls in the past few years -- LSU, USC, Florida, and now Texas.

Strange, hmm?

[AirWalke]

BTW, Rutgers got SCREWED. They went from BCS contenders to the Texas Bowl. O-U-C-H.

[clones_jer]

So after the International Bowl, will Brian Kelly leave with Central Michigan or just get on the Cinncinati plane?
