The worst bowl matchup (among many really bad games) is the Armed Forces Bowl pitting 6-6 Air Force against 6-6 Rice.

I think I'd rather watch a blank tv screen.

Does anybody, and I mean anybody including the players, care about this game?

The stupidest bowl name is a tossup between the Beef O'Brady Bowl and the Maaco Bowl.

What is Beef O'Brady? Is it something like an Irish Chef Boyardee?

What is a Maaco? Sounds like a typo, or a typoo. They forgot to delete the extra vowel.

Worst matchup: FSU vs NIU. Remember what Georgia did to an overrated, overwhelmed and overmatched Hawaii team that hadn't beat (or even played) anyone worth a shite? Here comes round two. If FSU takes all the criticism to heart and gets really, really mad before this game, then they will commit assault and battery on the Huskies. If they don't show up, they'll still win by 10+. Easiest money in Vegas right now is FSU -7

Worst name: Potato Bowl. Seriously?

Beef O'Brady's is a sports bar chain. Decent food, decent atmosphere. Buffalo Wild Wings is way, way better.

I don't think the Orange bowl is that bad a matchup.

Northern Illinois will probably be competitive for at least a half. They will be motivated to show the world they deserve to be there.

FSU is overrated. They only scored 21 on Tech's defense.

Hawaii was motivated too. Their problem was they ran into an equally motivated team with a talent gap the size of the Pacific Ocean. NIU will have the exact same problem. FSU will control this game at the lines of scrimmage and Bjoern Werner will be unblockable. Remember, Iowa 18 NIU 17. Iowa was the worst team in the Big Ten this year.

NIU's other huge problem is their coach just took the NC State job.

Not only that, but it's the 8pm prime time New Years Day game. The marquee game on the holiest day on the college football calendar........ Northern mother fricking Illi god damn nois!!!!!!!!!.....in the Orange Bowl.

Meanwhile, three SEC teams will play simultaneously on News Years day where you can only watch one of them.

I'll probably DVR one and watch it during the Orange Terd Bowl.

Worst bowl names (all time, some now defunct): Poulan-Weedeater Bowl; Fight Hunger Bowl; Humanitarian Bowl; Beef O'Brady's Bowl; Insight.com Bowl. Actually, most of the corporate bowls are pretty stupidly named, the lone exception being the Outback Bowl, which doesn't sound that bad.

That is a stupid name, but I didn't rank it the worst because it's for a good cause.

BTW, that's only part of the name.

It is the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

Man, does Kraft make some terrible salad dressings.

Three for me

NC
AM/Okie
LSU/Clem

The rest, meh.
