The Sporting News ranks the Sun Bowl as the best bowl game this year.
1. Oklahoma vs. Stanford
Sun Bowl, Dec. 31, El Paso, Texas

First: It's the stout Oklahoma front four against Stanford bulldozer and Heisman runner-up Toby Gerhart.
And 10: Coveted coaches Jim Harbaugh and Bob Stoops will be here. Honest.

Do you hear that A La Izquierda ????? Just watch out for any stray rounds coming over from Ciudad Juárez.

Oh and Condem, the Orange Bowl came in a lowly 23rd.

1. I think CFN ranked our game #5 or #7, El.
I don't think it will garner very good ratings. A Tuesday night. No national interest. The funny thing is we might not even get the game due to the contract dispute between Mediacom and the station carrying it.

5. Stanford's QB
Andrew Luck just recently had surgery (finger) and is not expected to play. This really hurts Stanford..OU will now be able to concentrate exclusively on stopping Gerhart. This game may not turn out to be as interesting as some might think. .

7. At least he's got experience
because they'll go with Pritchard..who was the starter most of '07 and '08, but he's hardly been off the bench this year.

8. 6. Arizona vs. Nebraska
Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 06:15 PM by Ptah
A rematch of the 1998 Holiday Bowl.

Ndamukong Suh looks like an unstoppable force.

:scared:

Otherwise, Bear Down, Wildcats.

9. SMU-Nevada #4?!
Imagine how good it could've been if UH hadn't honked to Wisconsin, thereby blowing their chance at the "Payback Bowl". :(
