They range from meaningless to mind-bending, fodder to earth-shaking, boring to championship-caliber.
Legend for Rating Bowls
-- Best of the year
-- A must see
-- Could be good, but...
-- Only for the diehards
-- Time to watch CBS reruns
We're talking bowls, of course. In its wisdom (and legal inability to do otherwise), the NCAA certified a record 32 bowls this season. That's 64 teams, 54 percent of Division I-A, playing for everything from national championships to cheesy, extra-cheese bowl souvenirs (Papajohns.
BCS title game, Ohio State vs. Florida: Urban Meyer is trying to become the third second-year coach from Ohio to win a national championship in his second year (Bob Stoops, 2000; Jim Tressel, 2002).
Lloyd Carr sneaks onto the field for the coin flip and elects to receive.
Sugar Bowl, LSU vs. Notre Dame: Much like last season's Fiesta Bowl was Ohio State's kickoff to a national championship bid, the Tigers are ready to start '07 by routing the Irish. How did Charlie Weis ever agree to this true road game?
Rose Bowl, USC vs. Michigan: Only the BCS could make the Rose Bowl a consolation game. Great game if this was 2003. Unfortunately, both teams are coming off devastating losses. Trojans try to break two-game losing streak in Pasadena.
Capital One, Arkansas vs. Wisconsin: CBS SportsLine.com freshman of the year P.J. Hill vs. Heisman runner-up Darren McFadden. This game might have more juice than the Rose, Fiesta and Sugar.
Arkansas should challenge for the 2007 national championship. Wisconsin should challenge for the Big Ten title.
Fiesta, Oklahoma vs. Boise State: Bob Stoops' game plan is to make sure Pac-10 officials don't get assigned.
Nothing-to-lose bowl. Adrian Peterson's last game (maybe). Boise State's biggest game, ever.
Don't be surprised by the Broncos' team speed.
