Rating the bowl matchups by Pete Fiutak:
2. Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Jan. 4, Phoenix, 8 p.m., FOX Boise State vs. TCU
Three Reasons To Watch This Bowl: 1) Really, this might be the national championship game. These two are playing better than the Longhorns and the Tide. 2) These might be the two most complete teams in America. TCU leads the nation in defense and is fourth in offense and first in kickoff returns. Boise State is No. 1 in scoring offense, 13th in total defense and ninth in punting. 3) Jerry Hughes and the TCU pass rush vs. Boise State's offensive line that has allowed the fewest number of sacks in America.
And Why You Should Spend Your Time Roasting Your Chestnuts: We're not going to learn much. The winner will have beaten a non-BCS team, while the loser will have lost to a non-BCS team. Last year's Poinsettia Bowl wasn't that entertaining.
Three Names To Drop That'll Make The Perky Girl In Accounting Want To Take You Into The Storeroom During The Holiday Party For Smooches: 1) Jeremy Kerley, WR/PR TCU, 2) Ryan Winterswyk, DE Boise State, 3) Daryl Washington, LB TCU
First-Thought Pick That Might Change In The Next Few Days On A Whim: TCU 20 ... Boise State 17
