Besides the Rose/sugar bowls

Orange bowl for me personally is a interesting one , but cotton and Alamo with Stanford/tcu should be a good one

My Arkansas State RedWolves are going to Montgomery, AL for the Camelia Bowl on 12/16. Not sure if I will go or not. I've been to Mobile 3x and New Orleans in the past few years but Montgomery just doesn't do much for me.

Yeah Badgers got screwed there. No team should be given a home game for a bowl game. I don't think the Badgers match up well with Miami and will probably lose that game.

Raycom and ESPN do a pretty good job with the Camellia Bowl. My brother in law and I go down every year. Downtown Montgomery has a couple good places to go eat/drink before the game. My Blazers are going to the bahamas this year...but unfortunately I can't afford to drop that kind of money right before Christmas.

Nebraska has played Miami at the old Orange Bowl (the Hurricanes home stadium) many times. I never once heard a Nebraska fan complain about having to play the Canes on their home turf.

With that said, I think Miami is soft and the Badgers should be able to physically pound them. Miami's speed could be a problem, but the Badgers make up for the lack of speed with sound fundamentals.

Same. Well, not the mascot part. But I agree with you on the picks.

My Temple pick last night went well. Looking ahead to tomorrow, I think I'll go with an upset pick and take Texas Tech.

Yeah that is a tough one. Maybe the over gets crushed at 66. They both have a common opponent this year. USF lost to Houston by 4 and TT won at Houston by 3.
