Top Ten Bowl Games

O.K. These are not listed in order of value or preference. There is no "ranking" the bowl games here. These are games that I think are interesting, and I made suggestions as to possible new sponsors for the game.

1. Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, Dec. 27
Texas vs. Arizona State
Two teams who could have ended up in a New Year's Day bowl. Arizona State has a record worthy of playing on New Year's Day, and Texas has the talent worthy of playing on New Year's Day. I suggest that this game be sponsored by Southwest Airlines. I really couldn't think of a better sponsor, and Southwest flies in the Southwest. Smart, huh.

2. Fed Ex Orange Bowl, Jan. 3
Kansas vs. Virginia Tech
Some people are not happy Kansas is here instead of Missouri, but it doesn't matter now. The Jayhawks are playing a good Virginia Tech team that found its identity later in the season. I suggest that the game be sponsored by Dickies, the worker apparel. Both teams have a blue collar, team oriented kind of image. Virginia Tech has that whole lunch box thing, and Kansas runs the "blue collar" version of the Spread Offense. The QB is undersized, and the offense works better when they can run the ball with the big tailback.

3. AT&T Cotton Bowl, Jan. 1
Arkansas vs. Missouri
A lot of people have already seen this as a very good match-up of teams not playing in a BCS game. Two players, Chase Daniel (Missouri) and Darren McFadden (Arkansas), were invited to the Heisman Trophy Presentation. Both teams can score a lot of points. Arkansas and Missouri already have friendly rivalries everywhere. I suggest that this year's Cotton Bowl be sponsored by the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad.

4. Konica Minolta Gator Bowl, Jan. 1
Texas Tech vs. Virginia
This match-up features defensive standout Chris Long, son of Howie Long of the Raiders, and the pass happy offense of QB Graham Harrell and Texas Tech. I think that this game should be sponsored by Radio Shack. You know, Howie used to do commercials for them with that Teri Hatcher. Plus, you might want to get a new TV, maybe a High Def, to see Tech's Michael Crabtree play. Yeah, he's that good.

5. Allstate Sugar Bowl, Jan. 1
Georgia vs. Hawaii
Why not? It might be the first time all year you've seen Hawaii play. They don't get to the mainland a lot. They went 12-0, the only team to do so, and that was with Colt Brennan missing a couple of games. Of course, there's them 'Dawgs. They are might hot right now. Some wanted them to make the National Title Game. I guess they look as good as anybody. This bowl should be sponsored by Maui Brand Sugar. Sugar for your tea. What do you think? Aloha!

6. Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Jan. 2
West Virginia vs. Oklahoma
There will be so much speed on the field, that the weather patterns might change. Seriously, the two teams may be the fastest in the country. DeMarco Murray, Juaquin Iglesias, and Malcolm Kelly of Oklahoma and Noel Divine, Pat White, and Steve Slaton for West Virginia may be the fastest skill players in the country. I suggest that Verizon FiOS sponsor this game because they tout themselves as the fastest internet available.

7. The Bell Helicopters Armed Forces Bowl, Dec. 31
California vs. Air Force
This could be a great match-up. Cal has some great skill players. Air Force runs the triple option. Cal has had problems keeping its focus all season, and Fort Worth's night life might be too much to handle for those kids. I suggest that some military air craft making industry sponsor this game. Wait, they already do. That is Bell Helicopters. You people got it right in Fort Worth.

8. The GMAC Bowl, Jan. 6
Bowling Green vs. Tulsa
This might be something to watch while waiting on the title game, if you need your bowl game fix. There should be a lot of scoring. Neither team has a very good defense, and both teams can throw the bowl. This shouldn't be low scoring. These two teams have passed for over a combined 7800 yards. The ball will be in the air so often that you might earn frequent flier miles. Therefore, I suggest that this game be sponsored by FrequentFlier.com.

9. The Outback Bowl, Jan. 1
Tennessee vs. Wisconsin
I don't know if this will a good game or not. Tennessee can throw the ball pretty well, and Wisconsin can run the ball pretty well. I think that this game should be sponsored by Colorado Boomerangs. Both teams bounced back from what could have been a rough finish.

10. Allstate BCS Championship Game, Jan. 7
LSU vs. Ohio State
Well, this one is for the title. The sub-plots really don't matter. LSU survived its SEC jungle, and Ohio State overcame the loss of multiple offensive weapons to the NFL or graduation. Oh, and it is another one of those Big Ten/SEC match-ups. I am sure that this year's title game will be better than last year's. I suggest that this game is co-sponsored by Community Coffee (Louisiana) and Kroger (Ohio). If it goes late, you might want to run to your Kroger and have some Community Coffee ready for the next morning. O.K That's all I could come up with.

Happy Bowling!
