From a football standpoint:
Alabama vs. Washington: Could be a great game, Washington has a good passing attack when they're on, and are coming off a beatdown vs. Colorado. Much better matchup than PSU or Wisconsin.
Clemson vs. OSU: Holy shite, this will be fun. Meyer vs. Dabo. Both vying for the chance to challenge Alabama in the final game (if Alabama gets there obviously). Two great teams, honestly a tossup and no way to predict this one.
USC vs. PSU in Rose Bowl: Blue-bloods that are both extremely hot. Both teams were in rebuild mode starting the season, and have turned it around. Huge fanbases in the grandaddy of them all. Great game.
FSU vs. Michigan in Orange Bowl: Should be a drag out, run the ball matchup with decent QBs. Great coaches, great teams. Good matchup as neither are quite there yet in terms of being title contenders, but both are on the cusp. Lots of talent here.
WMU vs. Wisconsin in Cotton Bowl: Honestly may be the weakest of the matchups, but the WMU story is awesome. Good matchup for them as they have a stout defense against the run, and have Davis to make plays for them. I don't know if they'll be able to overcome the talent gap, but there is precedence for it happening.
Auburn vs. Oklahoma in Sugar Bowl: Hopefully Auburn is healthy as I think they can win this game. Oklahoma can be shut down with a good D, and Auburn has that D.
LSU vs. Louisville in Citrus: Coach O's first bowl game will have a sort of national highlight, as they face possible Heisman winner Jackson. Should be a great game as LSU has a great D against the pass, and Lamar may not have a ton of room to run against their D. Also working in their favor is that Louisville is really not a powerhouse on D, and LSU has the ability to run effectively. I think if LSU plans properly, they can win this game.
Houston vs. San Diego State in Las Vegas Bowl: Early matchup, happening in two weeks. Could be a new coach at Houston by this time, possibly Kiffin. Also Donnel Pumphrey, the rusher for SDSU needs 108 yards vs. Houston to become the all-time leading rusher in CFB history.
Colorado vs. Ok State in Alamo Bowl: Should be a fun matchup. Hopefully Colorado beats the shite out of them. frick the BIG12.

Also LSU vs. Louisville will be sweet.

Nah, bruh. Give that shite the full write up like you did the others.

Removing the 2 team maximum from the same conference restriction greatly improved the matchups.
The New Year's six includes the entire top 9.

I just enjoy the Bowl season. There will be some bad games, but most games will be good.
MrAU's tip of the year.........you degenerate gamblers, take the dogs early in the Bowl season. (This is more of a "do as I say, not as I do" type suggestion)

Yeah, I fricking love it

And to be fair, Alabama deserves to get the weakest of the three teams. They're number 1 with a 13-0 season and ranked first in every metric. If they had to play Clemson or Ohio State first round, it would diminish that achievement.

USC vs PSU in Rose Bowl is a really good one.

I was really hoping auburn was going to be double digit dogs against the great Oklahoma Sooners
That was going to be my best bet.

Don't know how awesome our matchup will be. Our guys are probably pouting about not getting the Orange Bowl

You forgot Miss. State vs Miami(Ohio)!

Tennessee vs Nebraska will be great as well. They've probably sold out already.
Unfortunately, a lot of the Florida/California bowls that are usually interesting just aren't interesting at all this year. NYD-6 are fantastic, but outside of those, and a few games, it kinda sucks
