I know just from first glance that the Miami/Wisconsin game looks like it could be a really good one to me, anybody have one they really like?

Eh, I guess Nebraska-Arizona isn't really a lower tier bowl but that's one of the lesser ones that I'm really interested in.

Of the non-traditional Jan 1 or larger bowls, Pitt-UNC, Oregon State-BYU, Stanford-Oklahoma intrigue me the most.

Nevada vs. SMU should be a great game--top running attacking in the nation out of the pistol taking on a resurgent SMU in June's homecoming.

Houston vs. Air Force should be another interesting game.

Oregon State - BYU

The Arizona - Nebraska game may have to go to overtime just to get a score. With those 2 defenses playing along with not so great offense, I would definitely take the under.

Wisconsin/Miami - it probably has to do with the fact that my wife is a Wisconsin fan, and my Brother-in-law is a Miami fan.

I am mostly looking forward to Ohio State traveling to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama in Round 1 of the NCAA Division 1 Play-offs.

I have seen several bowls mentioned, and am not sure which qualify for this thread and which don't, but I think the Virginia Tech/Tennessee will be an enjoyable affair.

I think the Car Care Bowl could be decent. Carolina has one of the best defenses in the country(statistically) and Pitt showed they have the offense to play with anyone.
