2011-12 Bowl Season
Posted: November 27th, 2011, 10:05 pm
The regular season is almost done and bowl season is about to dawn on us. This year, 35 bowl games are planned from December 17th to January 9th with the National Championship game at the end (which barring an Oklahoma State win will likely be an LSU vs. Alabama matchup).
The current BCS Top 25 stands as this:
1 LSU
2 Alabama
3 Oklahoma State (not really getting the Oklahoma State love, as their one loss was to traditional Big 12 doormat Iowa State)
4 Stanford
5 Virginia Tech
6 Houston
7 Boise State
8 Arkansas
9 Oregon
10 Oklahoma
11 Kansas State
12 South Carolina
13 Michigan State
14 Georgia
15 Wisconsin
16 Michigan
17 Baylor
18 TCU
19 Nebraska
20 Clemson
21 Penn State
22 Texas (not really getting the Texas love either, as they've been .500 in conference play and their loss to Missouri re-energized that team)
23 West Virginia
24 Southern Miss
25 Missouri (despite their three-game win streak at the end of season, I was not expecting a Top 25 appearance)
Remaining Games With Ranked Teams (ranked teams in bold)
12/1 West Virginia vs. South Florida
12/2 UCLA vs. Oregon
12/3 Southern Miss vs. Houston
12/3 Iowa State vs. Kansas State
12/3 UNLV vs. TCU
12/3 Texas vs. Baylor
12/3 Georgia vs. LSU (SEC Championship)
12/3 New Mexico vs. Boise State
12/3 Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State
12/3 Virginia Tech vs. Clemson (ACC Championship)
12/3 Wisconsin vs. Michigan State (Big Ten Championship)
