Out of the NON-Playoff bowls, which one is the most prestigious to be in?
I would love to see UCF beat Auburn.

It will be like PJ vs Bucky last year, most likely worse.

That's should be a monstrous beatdown that will remind everybody why the little guys will never get into the playoffs.

That's a great matchup for UW I think. Playing in Miami ain't for **** though.
I love getting Miami in the Orange bowl, all things considered
It's a home game for Miami but you will see a lot of red in the stands. Jump Around anyone?

While this match up and venue is better the Badgers if I recall correctly had a hard time selling tickets to last years bowl game. Lots of Badger fans in South Florida, but it may be that traveling to meaningless bowl games may be over. After all these years of playing in bowls I fear a lot of fans are jaded.
Since this is Wisconsin's 1st appearance in the Orange Bowl I expect a good crowd that get to go to a new venue for them.
It should be a good defensive match up too. Hopefully Jonathan Taylor can show a national audience how good he can be and that good Hornibrook shows more often that bad Hornibrook.
Also a good chance for PC and staff to recruit in south Florida.
ONWISCONSIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't care for the fact it's basically a home game for Miami but it is positive from a recruitment standpoint. More exposure to the Wisconsin program in south Florida.

There's no way an AAC team could possibly compete with an SEC school
Just like WAC teams have no business on the same field with one of the most storied programs of all time...
Or how Mountain West teams shouldn't even show up vs the greatest NCAA coach and program of all time.
Or how Mountain West teams would get exposed as frauds vs the Big Ten.

You just ****ed up the entire Hoosiers plot.
FWIW: #Badgers TJ Edwards got grade from NFL Advisory Board: “come back to school” grade. He wasn’t surprised.

Kind of surprised on his grade from the NFL. But, I do like the fact that maybe he will be playing with a huge chip on his shoulder.

Well clearly I don't know WTF I'm talking about.
Hmmm.....interesting....
20-13 Auburn. Just like that
Like I said.....LOTTA ballgame left
How interesting the Michiganders are trying to break the Big Ten sweep. I am a Gamecock fan today.

Really wasn't that I was or wasn't picking UCF. Just thought that UCF is a pretty damn talented team that is very well coached and has the speed to play with anyone. Add in that teams like Auburn that end up playing a Group of 5 team like this are usually pissed off they didn't make the championship/playoffs and end up a bit disinterested, and I just thought to say they'd get housed was a bit much.
Auburn may come back and win, but UCF has shown itself very well and I think at least this year, this team could compete with anyone in the F4. Win? Not sure, but compete, yes.
I also would say that teams like FAU, USF, UCF, and even FIU are all programs that with some commitment and making the right hires can become the next Boise State/TCU. With so much damn talent in the state, they can take the scraps that FSU/Florida/Miami don't take and still be more talented than a lot of teams.
Man, I like that UCF QB.
That's a huge throw.
And an insanely ticky tack call against UCF there. cripes.
Please Lord, don't let Auburn win this.
If UCF loses, it's definitely because he missed 2 FG's.
Unreal
Woot.
Damn, looks like Frost can coach 'em up a bit...not a good thing for Bucky.

Not a good thing for anyone in B10.
Hope he doesn't bring all of Florida to Lincoln
Both Harbaugh brothers end their season as losers. Couldn't happen to a nice set of brothers.
