EagleBank Bowl (December 20 - 10 am CST, ESPN)Wake Forrest (7-5) vs. Navy (8-4)
Vegas: Demon Deacons - 3.0
The Buckle's Bet: Navy
Confidence Rating: 1
Why Care?: First-year Navy Head Coach Ken Niumatalolo has led his Midshipmen to 8 wins using Paul Johnson's classic triple-option. With a name more fun to say than Blagojevich, all Niumatalolo needs is a sprinkle of corruption, a dash of profanity, and a heaping helping of yak fur on top and he'll be primed to govern the fine people of Illinois!
New Mexico Bowl (December 20 - 1:30 pm CST, ESPN)
Colorado State (6-6) vs. Fresno State (7-5)
Vegas: Bulldogs -2.5
The Buckle's Bet: Fresno State
Confidence Rating: 13
Why Care?: Fresno State's Head Coach Pat Hill made waves in the Albuquerque Journal this week when he called the local gravel sub-par. "I only eat top-grade limestone gravel for breakfast and this New Mexico sand and clay mix is giving me gas." Expect a hostile crowd at University Stadium for this annual holiday treat.
magicJack St. Petersburg Bowl (December 20 - 3:30 pm CST, ESPN2)
South Florida (7-5) vs. Memphis (6-6)
Vegas: Bulls - 12.5
The Buckle's Bet: USF
Confidence Rating: 28
Why Care?: Anytime the South Florida Bulls can get all jacked up on chocolate milk (see link) and lay some wood to the Memphis Tigers we are all in for a good time. If the Bulls win - "Who's up for Dairy Queen???"
