Most interested in the

Poinsetta Bowl, GMAC Bowl, Sugar Bowl and the National Title Game, little else seems interesting.

Possibly the Holiday Bowl.

First I'm gonna' watch Humboldt State in the Smoke-a-bowl, then I plan on satisfying my hunger with the soup bowl and the rice bowl. A few hours later, I'll be hitting up the toilet bowl.

In all honesty, I've never watched much in the way of bowl games outside the Rose Bowl. When that bowl became the BCS tsar, I kinda' lost interest in that too. I'm gonna' get slammed for this, but as a casual college fan, I've never understood why teams that have records of 6-6 on up to 8-4 should be rewarded with postseason games that really have no meaning whatsoever. I mean really? The SEC #9 team vs. the MAC #6 team? (Not an actual matchup. Randomly chosen)

If we're not gonna' have playoffs, I'd much prefer the old matchups of conference champions that used to be.

ETA -- My opinion may change if UNT someday goes to a bowl and I find the resources to go.

I usually watch them all or 90% of them. I'll definitely watch the New Mexico Bowl..not that Fresno deserves a bowl with going 4-4 in the WAC.

This is a good guide too - each bowl, ten words or less: http://www.everydayshouldbesaturday.com/20...ords/#more-8072

Among the highlights:

R+L Carriers New Orleans, Southern Miss vs. Troy, New Orleans Superdome, Dec. 21, 8:15 p.m. ESPN

You won’t watch, but someone’s catching herpes on this trip.

Motor City Bowl, Florida Atlantic vs. Central Michigan, Detroit Ford Field, Dec. 26, 8 p.m. ESPN

Schnellenberger wins, then attempts Big Three bailout with confederate money.

I love bowl season. Love it. I'll be watching as many as possible.

My personal favorite:

Texas Bowl, Rice vs. Western Michigan, Houston Reliant Stadium, Dec. 30, 8 p.m., NFL Network

Sage Rosefels, though in NFL, still throws a pick here.

I'll watch as many as possible.

Loved these quotes:

Sheraton Hawaii Bowl, Hawaii vs. Notre Dame, Honolulu, Aloha Stadium Dec. 24, 8 p.m. ESPN

Weis in volcano “accident”; delicious smell permeates island. Buyout: POOF!

Independence Bowl, Northern Illinois vs. Louisiana Tech, Shreveport, La. Independence Stadium, Dec. 28, 8:15 p.m. ESPN

Shreveport, the best place on earth…for me to POOP ON.

Favorite

Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl, Maryland vs. Nevada, Boise, Idaho Bronco Stadium, Dec. 30, 4:30 p.m. ESPN

Truck stop sponsor! Gift bag is ephedrine, one live hooker.

Ill try and watch every game. I love this time of year as much as march madness. I would love it more is college had a 64 team playoff, but thats up to MR Obama. But I do love me some bowl season.

[Guest GrayEagleOne]

These ten matchups I want to see:

Louisiana Tech vs. Northern Illinois

Colorado State vs. Fresno State

Rice vs. Western Michigan

North Carolina vs. West Virginia

Oregon State vs. Pittsburgh

Alabama vs. Utah

Oklahoma State vs. Oregon

Boise State vs. TCU

Penn State vs. Southern Cal

Florida vs. Oklahoma

IMO, these should all be good, close games; at least on paper.

I'll also watch Southern Miss/Troy because of Sun Belt tie-in. I will likely also watch all or part of Central Michigan vs. Florida Atlantic and Ball State vs. Tulsa because of next year's schedule. I may also watch Buffalo vs. Connecticut out of respect for Turner Gill. Afer all, he is a North Texas graduate and former coach (GA) although he only played at Nebraska. I may, for curiousity's sake tune in on Ohio State vs. Texas.

I enjoy watching football as well as anyone but 34 games is too much of a load so I will pick and choose.

Depending on how much I drink this holiday season I may be watching alot of the toilet bowl. I wonder if North Texas and smu should be playing in that one?
