I understand the average fan's frustration at the lack of a college football playoff, but missing from the oft-cited reasons to stick with bowl games (travel, time constraints, student-athlete concerns) is this: bowl games do very well in TV ratings...

...winner GopherHole's Bowl Pick 'em on Yahoo. Picked 22 of 34 games correctly for 424 confidence points, 28 ahead of the next-closest competitor in a group of 113.

Central Michigan's double-overtime win in last night's GMAC Bowl was the Mid-American Conference's first bowl win in 15 tries, since CMU beat Middle Tennessee in the 2006 Motor City Bowl. Even though the Big Ten never sends a team to Detroit, this is why I don't like us being in that game - it's...

Even though it feels like they're getting outplayed, great showing so far by Sparty. Hopefully they pull this out, and that does it for Big Ten bowl wins.

Too bad Northwestern blew their chances late against Auburn, but can't complain about wins over LSU and Oregon. Would be nice if we could contribute to success like this one of these days. My distaste for the Alamo Bowl aside, go Sparty.

If you've watched any USC games this year, you know about the blind kid they've taken under their wing. Well, ESPN brought the kid on GameDay this morning as the "guest picker" and he does a pretty good job, Corso makes his pick, taking Oregon in the Rose Bowl, and putting the duck mascot head...

....and we're just a little bit worse. Sorry not to put more thought into it, Iceland, but I think that pretty much sums it up. :(

It feels like it's been a lot longer since Barber and Maroney tore up Alabama's vaunted run defense in Nashville. How about ending the year with a W for a change?

Visiting family in the Bay Area, so might as well take advantage of the opportunity to see a 2010 Gophers opponent in a bowl game for the second time in six days. Looking for a way to get to Toronto so I can watch Northern Illinois in the International Bowl and complete the trifecta.

I plan on being in Murfreesboro for the 2010 opener, so might as well take the opportunity to do a little advance scouting on our first opponent of next season. Middle Tennessee's only losses this season were to Clemson, Troy and Mississippi State, they won their final six, including five by at...

Since ORGopher made his pitch for UConn, I say we kick it old school.

Central Michigan loses its football coach to Cincinnati for the second time in three years. Ouch. At least you didn't lose your football AND basketball coach to the same school, a la West Virginia...
