The matchups for the college football bowls have been determined and as usual, there are some intriguing games.
Capital One Bowl: Florida vs. Michigan
What’s the over/under on Tim Tebow’s total touchdowns in this game? I’ll set it at four and I’m taking the over.
Rose Bowl: USC vs. Illinois
Who would have thought at the start of the season that the Illini would be heading to the Rose Bowl to play USC? Based on talent alone, the Trojans should probably roll, but U of I might have another upset up its sleeve.
Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Hawaii
This might be the most intriguing matchup of all the bowl games. UGA is angry that LSU leapfrogged them for the national title game and Hawaii gets a chance to prove that they’re for real.
Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma vs. West Virginia
Hopefully Pat White’s dislocated finger will be healed by this game, because it’ll be interesting to see how he and the rest of the Mountaineer offense matches up against a real defense (i.e. one that doesn’t play in the Big East).
Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. Kansas
Kasnas’s high-powered offense vs. VA Tech’s stingy defense? Sign me up.
National Championship: LSU vs. Ohio State
The Buckeyes get a shot at redemption after last year’s national championship debacle and the Tigers get a shot at a title despite losing to Arkansas late in the year. One matchup to keep an eye on: OSU’s offensive line vs. LSU monster DT Glenn Dorsey.
