This thread is for discussion of the college football bowl season. If people want to make predictions, that would be great.

This is not a BCS piss and moan thread. Those posts will be edited or moved to the appropriate thread. So be warned.

Its unfair how Conference USA gets all the crappy bowl slots. They don't even get to play against any BCS conference teams in a bowl. No wonder half the teams left.

GMAC BOWL
Miami (OHIO) at Louisville, 7:30 PM ET ESPN2

amazing that a team that is 12-1 and pretty much dominated everyone they played this year <and is #11 in the BCS> except for the first game of the year when they lost to iowa plays in a bowl on freaking december 18th in mobile, alabama. what a joke, that team deserves better.

It beats a lovely December trip to Detroit to face 6-6 Northwestern. And it's a better bowl berth than Northern Illinois gets. Maybe the MAC's success this year will give them a bit of negotiating power to get into better, or at least more, bowls.

I'm already in the Bowl Mania sweepstakes & don't have a group.

Was looking to join your group but can't find it.

Could you point me in the right direction?
