Thoughts on the Bowl Season

Congrats to the Florida Gators for winning the BCS National Championship. They beat a good Oklahoma team that was prepared. OU's defense played surprisingly well and their O line did a pretty good job protecting Bradford. OU was able to run with effectiveness but the two first half turnovers in the red zone turned out to be too much to overcome. Tebow was awful in the first half but came alive in the second half after having some opportunities to run. An SEC team has now won the national championship 3 straight years! Here are the winners and losers from this years bowl season:

Winners:
- SEC- other than South Carolina and Alabama laying two gigantic crimson turds, the SEC had a good bowl season. Vandy, Kentucky, LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss and most especially Florida had good victories...who would've thought Ole Miss would beat Texas Tech?

- Utah- Great win against the Crimson Turd! They played faster, with more intensity and preparation than Bama. Utah spent the off time preparing while Bama spent the time sittin' around playin' with their tits!

- Pac 10- Undefeated in the bowl season! Not bad for a conference everyone thought was weak this year! USC, Oregon St., Oregon, Arizona, and Cal all had bowl victories. Congrats to Arizona for pulling off the victory against those BYU Whiteys!

Losers:
- Big 10- Did any Big 10 team even win a bowl game this year??? Oh yeah, Iowa beat South Carolina...that's it! Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Michigan St., Ohio St., and Penn St. were all pathetic losers! How the mighty have fallen!

- WAC- Let's see...Hawaii? Lost...Fresno St.? Lost...undefeated Boise St.? Lost...Nevada? Lost...Oh, but Lousiana Tech won!

- ACC- what a bad year for the ACC! First, the whole conference is mediocre, then most of the conference somehow gets invited to bowl games and they lose most of them. Boston College, North Carolina, NC St., Georgia Tech, Miami, Clemson all lost. But hey, Florida St. won! And Virginia Tech won the Orange Bowl! Oh yeah, Maryland won too! And...Wake Forest barely beats Navy!

- Big 12- The most overhyped conference this year didn't do much in the bowl season. Kansas and Nebraska each got victories. Missouri barely won, Texas struggled to beat an inferior Ohio St. in the Fiesta Bowl. Oklahoma St. lost, then Texas Tech goes down to Ole Miss! Wow! Then of course Oklahoma goes down in the big game.
