yeah that match up is a complete let down or even UL vs UTSA in the first responders bowl...
I am going to laugh when Ole Miss (4-5) shreds their defense. Alabama only struggled in two games this year: @ Ole Miss and Florida in the SEC Championship Game. Alabama couldn't shut down either offense and had to outscore both teams like old fashioned Big 12 games (Baylor-WVU-Oklahoma type).
The put Boise State and TCU in the Fiesta in 2010 because to make sure they both couldn't beat a major opponent after Boise punked OU.
Then TCU beat WI the next year in the Rose Bowl.
From CBS site:
Canceled bowls (16): Bahamas, Birmingham, Celebration, Fenway, Frisco, Guaranteed Rate, Hawai'i, Holiday, Independence, LA, Las Vegas, Military, Pinstripe, Quick Lane, Redbox, Sun
Teams that opted out (22): Boise State, Boston College, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Louisville, LSU (self-imposed bowl ban), Maryland, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State, Pittsburgh, San Diego State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Utah, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Washington, Washington State
Surprised, there are some decent teams that have opted out.
Yahoo says Fiesta Bowl is the 8th best bowl:
8. Fiesta Bowl (Jan. 2)
No. 25 Oregon (4-2) vs. No. 10 Iowa State (9-3)
The Ducks won the Pac-12 for the second consecutive year with a win over previously-undefeated USC on Friday night. Sophomore DE Kayvon Thibodeaux is quickly becoming one of the best linemen in the country and Oregon has scored 30 or more points in five of its six games. The Cyclones came up short on Saturday in their bid to win a first Big 12 title. RB Breece Hall has rushed for 1,436 yards and has scored 21 TDs while Brock Purdy has thrown 18 TDs and rushed for four.

Ranking the 28 college football bowl games from best to worst
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, bowl season will look a lot different this year. There are fewer games, and there were many qualified teams that decided not to play.
Just wondering if he “yawned” at the Cotton bowl matchup too? Since his reasoning is the exact same for that game, 2 loss Conf Champ and a 3 loss runner up.
Rittenberg is definitely a B1G homer. Believe in the past that conference was his main focus/beat at ESPN
