There will be a total of 34 College Bowl Games, starting on Dec 20th.
Dec 20th has four bowl games, one that I could not help but notice the
Eagle Bank Bowl in Washington DC ( I thought banks were broke, how can
they afford a bowl game?). Anyhow, if you want to see a calendar for
all of the bowl games go to this link at
USA Today.
The best bowl games, as usual, begin on Jan 1, which always features
the Rose Bowl and all its pageantry, finalize on Jan 8 with the FedEx
BCS National Championship Bowl;
Florida Vs.
Okalahoma.
Was not too long ago they all took place on Jan 1, starting somewhere
around 8:00 eastern time and going until midnight eastern time; must
have been difficult for the Hawaii college fans to watch those early
morning games.
As time progressed and bowl games increased we extended the schedule
and saved the best for last. This year this is very appropriate for
the two teams playing the especially for the two quarterbacks facing
each other. Teebow, winner of the 2007 Hiesman Award and Bradford,
winner of the 2008 Hiesman Award faceoff with an aresnal of talent
behind each of them. Whats even more facinating here is the coach
faceoff. Urban Meyer vs Bob Stoops. Remember when Florida was
struggling with Ron Zook and Stoops was being asked to leave Okalahoma
for Florida; very interesting? Also, if memory serves me corrrect
Stoops was defensive coordinator under Steve Spurier. Another
interesting tidbit: Urban Meyer and Bob Stoops grew up an hour apart in
the same northern Ohio region.
Who is the favorite, Florida or Okalahoma? Being an avid Florida fan,
Florida of course. Being pragmatic and looking at the matchup;
Florida. Both teams can score points but looking at the average point
scored against each team Okalahoma has 23.7 and Florida has 11. The
little bit I have watched Okalahoma, they appear to have a good
offensive line that gives Bradford plenty of time. Should that time
element diminish, goodby Okalahoma, hello Florida. Remember the Ohio
State game, a profolic quarterback behind a good offensive line
crumbled. Anyhow, thats my prediction!
