11. BCS National Championship Game. Oregon-Auburn will be a fun game. Auburn won't be stopped, but if any team could keep up in a track meet, it's the group of Ducks from Eugene.

12. Orange Bowl. Classic power football. Classic vertical passing. Physical hitting. High-caliber coaching. The Pac-10 getting a shot in a major intersectional BCS battle. What's not to love?
13. Rose Bowl. Wisconsin's brawny offense vs. TCU's athletic defense: worth the price of admission in its own right.
14. Capital One Bowl. Both Alabama and Michigan State will have something to prove. Nick Saban used to coach Sparty. Michigan State enters this game as the overachiever, a singularly unique development. This clash will definitely be intriguing and should go down to the final few minutes of regulation.
15. Poinsettia Bowl. Navy and San Diego State will offer a delicious contrast in styles, which makes a sporting event sing. Moreover, Ken Niumatalolo and Brady Hoke are two of the best young minds in coaching today. Third, Navy will bring fans to San Diego, the city being near water and all.
16. Armed Forces Bowl. SMU-Army is another matchup of 180-degree opposites. These two programs have endured tough times for most of the past two decades, so the Mustangs and Black Knights will both take this tilt seriously. The product is likely to be enhanced as a result.
17. The Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Steve Spurrier against Florida State is pure magic, and with the quality of the two secondaries, the festive atmosphere in Atlanta should continue through the entirety of this contest, which has "shootout" written all over it.
18. Liberty Bowl. George O'Leary vs. Mark Richt is intriguing enough, but the matchup between Central Florida quarterback Jeff Godfrey and Georgia's linebackers is even more eyebrow-raising in its own right. Georgia will score a ton, but UCF might be able to keep pace, certainly for three quarters.
19. Cotton Bowl. Texas A&M looks and feels like a legitimately solid team right now. LSU is superior, but the Tigers just need to make a few mistakes to change the calculus in Dallas. If A&M wins this, coach Mike Sherman can justifiably point to a brighter day for the Aggies, who need this game a million times more than LSU does.
20. Hawaii Bowl. Pure unrestrained aerial excitement- - need we say more in the contest pitting Tulsa against Hawaii?
