Thanks to the LA Times, you no longer need to watch Fox’s coverage of the selection announcements.
The Big ‘Un : Ohio State vs. Florida

Orange: Louisville vs. Wake Forest.
Fiesta: Oklahoma vs. Boise State.
In somewhat less spectacular news, BC has accepted a bid to play in the December 30 Meineke Car Car Bowl against Navy. Nebraska will play No. 10 Auburn in the Cotton Bowl, and Rutgers-killers Cincinnati will face Western Michigan in the inaugural International Bowl on January 6. Presumably the game is dubbed “The International Bowl” because it’ll be played at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, but I’d be more impressed if McGill University had been asked to participate.
Turns out there’s actually a way to make the International Bowl interesting: Cincinnati just hired WMU’s coach
oops, they actually hired Central Michigan’s coach.
wow. some guys will do anything to avoid coaching in the Motor City Bowl.
I forgot to mention in that crap wrapup of crap bowls, Northern Illinois will go to San Diego to take on TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl. You might recall, back in September Poinsettia officials extended an early invite to Army if the Black Knights could muster 6 wins.
Needless to say, Bobby Ross’ charges did not win 6 games. If only Rumsfeld hadn’t insisted they’d be OK with leather helmets.
Does anyone else find the Rice-Troy game existentially bothersome?
I’m sure McGill would have been invited were they not called the Redmen.
