Bowl wrap up

There is a lot of other stuff I could get to, USF fire their coach, Sea fires their coach Manny P and Money fight has fall though, Michigan has a terrible first half shooting 0-12 from three, then goes 7-11 in the second half for a great comeback for a very nice comeback win on the road at PSU. It was a win they needed, and even though they had some problems, and loosing to IU hurts, they are starting to look better, and still have UCONN at home, which would be the non conference win they need if they want a at large bid. Wings got a nice 2-1 win last night, but right now.... lets talk about the bowl season, which is now over.



10) Bama-Texas- Yeah they are 10th, and the only reason they make my top ten is because it is the national title game, but it's too bad that Colt got hurt, cause then we don't know what will happen, but injuries are part of the game, it's too bad, but it's sports, especially one like football. Bama still ran all over them, and won the national title

9) FSU-WVU- makes the top ten list because of Bowden's last game. Him slamming down the flaming spear at the beginning, come on man. But he had a great career, and is one of the best interviews ever.

8) Iowa-UGA Tech/ Wis-Da U- These two games get combined because they both did the same thing, showed how bad the ACC is, and how the Big ten, this year at least, was at least decent and deserve some credit. I thought da u would have won, and I was wrong, so props to the big uglies in Wisconsin. They should be a very good team next year. UGA Tech's offense is good, but when you give a good defense that long to prepare for the triple option it doesn't work as well. These two games were two good wins for those teams and the big ten.

7) ECU-Arkansas- This game makes the list just because of how close it was and how many chances ECU had. Got to feel bad for their kicker misses 4 fg, including one to win the game at the end of regulation and other one in OT. The might SEC dodged a bullet here.

6)FL-Cinci-We wanted to see what Tebow would do in his last college game, well there you go. Ass kicking, Cinci's defense couldn't stop anyone, and I knew Fl would score a lot on them. Big east and ACC football is a joke, that's all.

5) OSU-Oregon- Ohio State needed this game. More then the big ten OSU has heard time after time how they couldn't win the big game, they couldn't compete with any other team besides the big ten, well there you go. One of two things are true about this game, OSU was a good team this year, or, Oregon and the pac 10 are not very good, and overrated, note Zona got killed by Nebraska, so maybe thus Boise wasn't that good, since beating Oregon isn't that good of a win. It could go so many ways. That is what is great about college football, and also what sucks about college football.

4) BSU-TCU- I feel bad for these teams I wish FL had TCU and BSU had Cinci that way we could see them playing the "big boys" and not each other. However, it was a good game, and both of these teams are good teams. They could beat any team once, but you have to admit, it is a big difference to play one big team once a year, when you have 40 days to get ready then having to go play them week after week. It's the same thing as SEC people thinking that all of their teams are better then any other conference and a team like Auburn or Arkansas could win the big ten. It isn't just beating Wisconsin or OSU once, it's going to PSU, then playing Iowa, then going to Wisconsin, and so on. anyway, moving on.

3) Northwestern-Auburn-This was a great game. I feel so bad for Northwestern, they had so many chances, but didn't have much trouble scoring points on a "great" SEC defense that Bama had to use a late drive to beat. I'm sure the kicker being hurt made them have to go for the fake fg instead of kicking a FG and continuing OT. Just a really good game, and it is the closest Northwestern has been in a long time for being ranked at the end of the year.

2) PSU-LSU- The way football is meant to be played IMO. Rain, mud, dirty Jerseys, people sliding everywhere. Big defenses, hard hits, running the ball hard. I loved it. That is just the way I see football. Cold weather, rain or snow, mud, it was great. Not domes or 90 degree weather, no. That was football weather. Great win by PSU and the big ten over the mighty SEC.

1) CMU-Troy- Ok, yeah I graduated from CMU, so take that for what it is, but I really believe this was the best bowl game of the season. Two teams, both undefeated in their conference, with great offenses, and talented play makers. Lots of points, big defensive stops when needed. A 12 point lead in the 4th with 8 min left, a kick return for a TD, a go ahead TD with a minute left, then Troy goes right down the field to kick a FG to tie it. Both teams score touchdowns in the first OT, then you have a block FG, and a game winning FG by a guy who hit 5 total. What more could you ask for. Besides maybe the announcers actually talking about the game and not trying to break down the national title game the next night. It was a great back and forth game. I'm sure most people will say it wasn't a good game because besides CMU and Troy fans no one cares. Well you should, if you like college football you should have watched that game, and you should have enjoyed it.

I'm right, you're wrong.
