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.
