College Football - Must Watch Bowl Games this Season

With 28 remaining College Football Bowl games this season there are
5 that the Documented Handicappers label as must watch football. The
excitement for bowl games to college football fans is parallel to the
excitement for March Madness. While there was limited controversy this
year as to which teams will compete for the national championship only
one team will finish the season #1. We understand how busy the holiday
season is for everyone so we have narrowed down the bowl schedule to
five games that you must watch and that’s only if you can’t find the
time to watch all 34.


Capital One (1.1.09) - Georgia (9-3) vs. Michigan State (9-3)

A nice Big 10, SEC match up in the Capital One bowl. Georgia was ranked
preseason #1 while Michigan State had what some would call a surprise
season led by Javon Ringer. Michigan State really doesn’t pose a
passing threat but will hand the ball off to Ringer in attempt to work
Georgia’s run defense which has had trouble this season. This could
turn into a running game considering State was run over in all three
losses and Georgia’s Knowshon Moreno is one talented back.


Poinsettia Bowl (12.23.08) - TCU (10-2) vs. Boise State (11-0)

This is probably the best non-BCS bowl game this year. Boise State went
undefeated in the regular season and they take on the TCU Horned Frogs.
TCU’s defense was ranked #2 in the nation and the question will remain
if Boise State’s offense is better than TCU’s defense? Boise State
posts an unblemished record and was once again left out of the national
championship talk. Will they get another big bowl win under their belt
to once again prove that this program is on the rise?


Holiday Bowl (12.30.08) - Oklahoma State (9-3) vs. Oregon (9-3)

The one reason to watch this game, Offesnse! Oklahoma State was ranked
#7 in total offense and Oregon is ranked #8. Who doesn’t like to watch
a high scoring football game?


Sugar Bowl (1.1.09) - Alabama (12-1) vs. Utah (12-0)

Well if Utah wanted a chance to prove themselves against a BCS school
powerhouse they have that opportunity when they meet up with Alabama in
the Sugar Bowl. Alabama will be coming off their SEC Championship loss
to Florida and we are all wondering if they will show any signs of a
hangover? Utah really has a lot to prove and look to show the country
why they went undefeated.


BCS National Championship Game (1.8.09) - Oklahoma (12-1) vs. Florida (12-1)

This is the #1 must watch this season simply because this is the
National title game. Two powerhouse schools will meet with very high
expectations coming in. This years Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford
of Oklahoma will go up against last years winner Tim Tebow of Florida.
We couldn’t have written a better script for a national championship.
We can’t wait for this game and look forward to seeing how everything
unfolds.
