- Oregon: Rose Bowl Champions Beat a tough, hardnosed Wisky team with Russell Wilson and Heisman trophy finalist Montee Ball

- Moo State: Music City Bowl Champions: Played a pesky and well coached (albeit undermanned) Wake Forest team

- Florida: Gator Bowl Champions: Defeated tOSU in the "Urban/Mediocrity/etc." Bowl against a decent defense. Nothing all that special, but a win's a win.

- AU: Chick-Fil-A Bowl Champions: UVA is an upstart and well coached team. Also undermanned, but still plays hard and smart and blew them out without Michael Dyer.

** UGA: Lost to a very well coached Michigan State team in the Outback Bowl, who doesn't have as much speed or talent, but UGA is still young and improving. MSU made great adjustments at halftime to comeback and win in OT.


Ar-kansas and WVU are still yet to play, (K-State and Clemson respectively) and if LSU beats Bama that will automatically give another bowl loss to an LSU regular season opponent. Regardless, 4-1, with the sole loss in OT, is very respectable. I hope to edit this thread to a 6-2 record by next Monday.

Conservative play backfired on them.

Dantonio is a hell of a coach. Assuming his health is good, I wouldn't mind seeing him on our short list to replace Les in several years.

I will never pull for Arkansas again. Their fans have pissed me off for the last time.
