Low Five: Worst Bowl Matchups Involving BCS Conference Teams

This game is probably the most interesting of the five on this list, but is again on New Year's Eve.

Random Tangent 

A big thumbs down goes to the NCAA for allowing SIX games to be scheduled on New Year's Eve. 

Even for a fan like me who'd like to watch as many of these games as possible, it's hard endure the complaining from those who don't see why it's necessary to be sitting at home at 4:00 to watch Kentucky/Florida State.

That complaining will continue later when said fan is asked to please stop watching Clemson/Auburn to partake in other activities. 

I don't mind having a game or two on the 31st, but having as many as on the 1st is just too much. 

5. International Bowl: Rutgers v. Ball State

This one is too easy. 

This matchup is horribly unattractive, and the game is played on January 5th...in Canada.

After the thrills of four BCS games, how much are you gonna be waiting for the presumed drubbing Rutgers is going to lay on the Cardinals?

I understand the desire for exposure, and the knowledge that big college football fans may watch the game for lack of better television options—but this one has DUD written all over it.

If you want to see a game while waiting for OSU/LSU, I suggest waiting one more night and catching the Tulsa/Bowling Green matchup. It should be a closer contest.

Happy Bowling everyone...
