They rank the New Orleans Bowl as #16.
16. R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
Florida Atlantic vs. Memphis Dec. 21
What?! Florida Atlantic vs. Memphis? The New Orleans Bowl? Yeah, like you're going to cancel your holiday party for this one. Actually, it's a nice bowl to ease you into the rest of the season thanks to two key elements: 1) Motivation. This is Florida Atlantic's first bowl game, and 2) offense. Memphis likes to bomb away with a passing attack that averages 308 yards per game, while Florida Atlantic bombs away for 286 yards per game. Neither team plays much defense so there will be plenty of points, solid efforts, and a surprising amount of fun.
Stars of the show: 1) Memphis QB Marin Hankins, 2) Florida Atlantic QB Rusty Smith, 3) Florida Atlantic CB Tavious Polo
The knee jerk, off-the-cuff, initial prediction: Memphis 45 … Florida Atlantic 38
I agree on the high scoring affair. Just reverse the teams in winning bracket.
;D
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I'd rather ask my 87 year old grandmother her opinion than to read their garbage.
Like things, love people.

19. GMAC Bowl, Jan. 6, Bowling Green vs. Tulsa.
Our rule of thumb: As long as there is the possibility of a ton of offense, it's worth watching. These teams average a combined 959.4 yards of offense per game.
good gravy. Our game will make this one look like a defensive struggle.

Not that this guy knows anything and I know our defense hasn't been great this season, but I think this guy is selling our D a bit short. They have certainly given up too many yards this year, but they have been very good at creating turnovers and they have come up with big stops at critical times in games. Also, admittedly, I don't know much about the Memphis offense, but from what I have read, they don't have a mobile QB and I think that plays in our favor. It is the guys that eluded pressure and made playes with their legs, like Haugabook, Tebow, Grothe, ect. that gave us problems.
Both teams are great at protecting their own QB and very poor at pressuring the other teams QB. This area is a push.
