Most intriguing bowl matchups

[7Samurai13]

What games do you think will be some of the best games to watch? Outside of the obvious on, Auburn vs FSU.

 

[Taz_Hokie]

The game I'm most looking forward to is MSU vs Stanford. Should be a good defensive battle.

Oregon - Texas peaks my interest... Is Oregon going to continue their slackass play? Will Texas "win one for the Gipper"?

 

[KnightAndDay]

Top 5 Most Intriguing imo

1.Miami-Louisville
2.Michigan State-Stanford
3.Georgia-Nebraska
4.Oklahoma State-Missouri
5.Wisconsin-South Carolina

Michigan State and Stanford is definitely the one I'm most looking forward too.

I'd say Fresno State and Southern Cal and Utah State vs. Northern Illinois are pretty intriguing along with the power conference matchups like Texas - Oregon, LSU - Iowa, South Carolina - Wisconsin

Honestly I think LSU is a much better team than Iowa when they decide to show up (showed up for 2 games this year). I doubt LSU shows up though, could easily get upset.

 

[WhiteMamba]

WSU vs Colorado State

Oregon State vs Boise State

West Coast bias.... Deal with it.

 

[Wild Turkey]

The one (that my team is not involved with) that I would've like to have seen was Alabama vs Oregon. The games that should be interesting:

OSU vs Missouri
tOSU vs Clemson
Michigan State vs Stanford (lot of conference pride at stake on this one)
South Carolina vs Wisconsin
Ole Miss vs Georgia Tech (has an Old School SEC feel)

 

[Wild Turkey]

USC vs Fresno could be disastrous for the Trojans but I think they win big.

With Mett I agree. Not sure if they're a lot better without him.

Remember the name Anthony Jennings, you will learn it soon enough.

Kind of under the radar but what about Arizona vs. Boston College. Two of the best RBs in the nation going at it. Cmon

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Stanford vs. MSU is intriguing. Pretty similar teams in some aspects. I think Stanford has the better offense, or one I'd be more afraid of playing, but MSU has the better defense. Both pride themselves on being "pro style" teams with big dudes everywhere. I think Stanford playing in California will still be a huge issue for MSU which has a smaller fan base and a farther distance to travel. But we'll see.

Iowa vs LSU actually interests me a bit as well. Last time they played it was a pretty classic game. I think Oklahoma vs Alabama will be good.

Very true.

Iowa isn't terrible this year. Their 4 losses are to MSU, OSU, NIU, and Wisconsin all by 10 or fewer points. If nothing else, I bet the Hawkeyes hang with LSU.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

10.5 point dogs!!!!

WTF!!!

Yuck. I don't. Oklahoma's offense has been putrid most of the season and their D isn't anything to write home about either. This one screams mismatch.

I am interested in their little brother's game vs Mizzou though. That one might be entertaining.

I agree they will be able to hang, I expect it to be a good game but for the wrong reasons. LSU doesn't show up to games they don't want to play. Twitter was blowing up with ticked off LSU players, especially on defense. The defense decided to play against Texas A&M and Auburn, and that was it. Iowa will hit LSU in the mouth with the lackluster attitude we have seen this year. Not to mention LSU/Clemson last year shows me to expect the same thing.

Last I heard, teams can decline bowl invites.

Sit at home or play in a game you could care less about and get extra practice?
