Usually the first few bowl games aren't all that great. Average at best teams with the games not being very entertaining. The last early bowl game I can remember being any good was the East Carolina/Marshall game when both teams put up around 40 and it came down to the last play.
This year looks to be a down year for the college bowl games in general with the match-ups. Only games I'm really interested in watching are Gators/Buckeyes and Wolverines/Trojans.
New Years Day used to have the best match-ups and exciting games. This year seems lame with the exception of the Rose Bowl.
Nebraska/Auburn
Penn St./Tennessee
Wisconsin/Arkansas
Georgia/WV
Boise/Oklahoma
Not exactly games people are planning their day around. Then you get the games like Ohio U/Southern Miss, Western Mich/Cincinatti, Nevada/Miami, Oklahoma St./Alabama, etc...
Should some of these teams even be playing in the post-season? Go 500 on the year and receive an automatic post season bid anymore.
More stuff to wager on though.
