Bowl Predictions
And now, regular reader Foster Keats gives his predictions AND renames the various bowls to his own anti-establishment liking:
It’s bowl season, my friends. Time to put those novels down, send the wives & kids to bed, and hunker down with non-stop football every day & night of the week until early January. You may live in New Jersey & can’t even point to New Mexico on a map, but HELL, Fresno St & Wyoming is about to come on the tube, live from Al, Alber, Alberker… that big town in New Mexico. And who wouldn’t be interested in Ohio U and Marshall when you have 23 points of confidence placed on the Bobcats, plus water cooler bragging rights in your office pool. And to salute all those hard-working companies that have spent so much of their vast profits to place their name on these delicious matchups, I have decided to give them some of my own, personal added exposure… In some cases, I couldn’t decide which one I liked better, so I put in multiple choices for your holiday entertainment… enjoy!!!

Gator Bowl to match SEC vs Big Ten; more bowl shakeups ensue
After months of wrangling and having the ACC reject the bowl's latest proposal, the Gator Bowl is finalizing a four-year agreement that will pit an SEC team against a Big 10 team in the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 seasons.
Officials from the SEC have already confirmed their participation to The Birmingham News. Under the terms, the Gator will get "at least" the sixth pick of bowl-eligible SEC teams. The pick position could vary on a year-to-year basis, but more details would be announced once the Big 10 announces its bowl agreements next week.
The Gator Bowl is also in final talks to become part of a broadcast deal with ESPN, leaving CBS, in a move that could signal the end of the exclusive broadcast window that has been previously negotiated for the Capital One Bowl.
With the Cotton Bowl moving to January 2nd, the result of the Gator Bowl agreement means that all three non-BCS games on New Years Day will feature SEC vs Big 10 matchups.
With the end of the ACC / Big East relationship in the Gator Bowl, the ACC and Big East have signed an agreement with the Champs Bowl which will essentially recreates the conferences past Gator relationship in Orlando.
Under the terms to begin with the 2010 season, the ACC will send its #3 selection to the Champs Bowl to face the Big East's #2 selection or Notre Dame. The Champs can select Notre Dame once over the four year agreement if the Irish have seven wins and are within two wins of the #2 Big East school.
With the Gator Bowl now aligned with SEC, the Independence Bowl finds itself as odd-man out in the SEC bowl mix after 15 years with the conference. Instead, the Independence Bowl will look to sign a new bowl matchup between the ACC and Mountain West.
