First Bowl Predictions

[YbrikTCU]

I know it's still a bit early in the season to be projecting bowl match-ups, but I don't care. I have a few thoughts on what I'd like to see happen in a few bowls I care about, and I feel like sharing them. I'll be going over the BCS bowls (because any bowl discussion MUST mention them), all the Conference USA bowls (because that's TCU's conference, naturally) and the Cotton Bowl, because it's close to home for me and features a match-up between upper teams from my two favorite conferences, SEC and Big 12. And I'll throw in the Sun Bowl, because that was my favorite bowl game last year (Minnesota over Oregon by one point!). I don't know enough about the other bowls to make projections, but that doesn't mean I won't watch them, of course! I've got two lists, my preferred match-ups and the match-ups I think are more likely to actually happen.

Anyway, everyone, feel free to make your predictions. Make sure you include the BCS bowls in your predictions, beyond that feel free to do whatever pleases you!



Here's how I'd like to see the bowls:
Fort Worth: TCU vs. Texas A&M (even if they smoke us, which I bet they would)
New Orleans: UNT vs. UAB
Hawaii: Memphis vs. Boise
GMAC (Mobile, Ala.): Southern Miss vs. Northern Illinois
Liberty (Memphis, Tenn.): Louisville vs. BYU
Sun (El Paso, Texas): Minnesota vs. California
Cotton: Texas Tech vs. Tennessee
Rose: USC vs. Wisconsin
Fiesta: Utah vs. West Virginia
Sugar: Auburn vs. Florida State
Orange: Miami vs. Oklahoma

Here's how I think it might more realistically work out:
Fort Worth: TCU vs. Generic Big 12 North Team No. 3
New Orleans: UNT vs. UAB
Hawaii: Memphis vs. Boise
GMAC (Mobile, Ala.): Southern Miss vs. Northern Illinois or Marshall
Liberty (Memphis, Tenn.): Louisville vs. Utah
Sun: Minnesota vs. Arizona State
Cotton: Texas A&M vs. Tennessee
Rose: Wisconsin vs. California
Fiesta: Florida State vs. West Virginia
Sugar: Auburn vs. Miami
Orange: Oklahoma vs. USC

I think A&M will go to the Alamo bowl.

Only because I'd like to see the matchup and there's no other way it's going to happen anytime in the near future. Coach Fran wouldn't schedule TCU in the regular season until he's damn sure his team could beat ours. While I think A&M could handle us easily this year, the Aggies aren't as consistent as Coach Fran would like them to be before he takes on one of the top mid-major programs, particularly one he used to coach at.
