Here is a recap of Jimson's Top 10 Standings After Week 15 of the 2008 College Football season:

1. Florida Gators, 13-0

2. Missouri Tigers, 13-0

3. Utah Utes, 12-0

4. Arizona State Sun Devils, 11-1

5. West Virginia Mountaineers, 11-1

6. Texas Tech Red Raiders, 12-1

7. Kansas Jayhawks, 10-2

8. Georgia Bulldogs, 10-2

9. Ohio State Buckeyes, 10-2

10. Boise State Broncos, 11-1

Now, it's time to move on to Week 3 of the 2008 college football bowl season.

Key Games in Week 3 of the Bowl Season (Friday, January 2, 2009 through Thursday, January 8, 2009):

 

Allstate Sugar Bowl (Friday, January 2, 2009):

Clemson (11-2) vs. Georgia (10-2) (in New Orleans)

Well, this is what it SHOULD have been in the Sugar Bowl, LAST SEASON! However, it is better late than never... as the No. 12 Clemson Tigers and the No. 8 Georgia Bulldogs face off in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, at the Superdome!

After getting off to a 10-0 start, the Clemson Tigers looked like they were going to make a run at the BCS National Championship Game.

However, as Clemson has done in the past two seasons... they stumbled down the stretch, losing two of their final three games, heading into the Sugar Bowl!

On the other hand, the Georgia Bulldogs head into the Sugar Bowl with a 10-2 record, and winning eight of their final nine games... for the second straight season!

Unfortunately, it looks to me like this is setting up for a repeat of last season's Sugar Bowl. In the end, I expect the Georgia Bulldogs to CRUSH the Clemson Tigers, by about FOUR or FIVE TOUCHDOWNS... as Clemson goes down without a fight!

Winner: Georgia

 

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (Monday, January 5, 2009):

Boise State (11-1) vs. Utah (12-0) (in Glendale, Arizona)

This is the first time that a BCS Bowl Game features TWO BCS Busters! In fact, BOTH of these BCS Busters are ranked in the Top 10... as the No. 10 Boise State Broncos take on the No. 3 Utah Utes, in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl!

Also, BOTH of these BCS Busters have a previous victory in the Fiesta Bowl. Four seasons ago, the Utah Utes CRUSHED the Pittsburgh Panthers, 35-7... while the Boise State Broncos defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 43-42, in OVERTIME, just two seasons ago!

Well, the Utah Utes have been VERY DOMINANT this season... as senior quarterback Brian Johnson led the Utes to an UNDEFEATED record, on his way to winning the Heisman Trophy.
