17. Pinstripe Bowl -- Northwestern Wildcats vs. No. 23 Pitt -- Dec. 28, 2 p.m.: Pitt and Northwestern just tend to play a lot of close games, even if they both tend to take very different routes getting there. It will be an interesting clash of styles, one that should be quite entertaining.
10. Russell Athletic Bowl -- Miami vs. No. 16 West Virginia Mountaineers -- Dec. 28, 5:30 p.m.: The Mountaineers struggled with the two Oklahoma Sooners schools in conference play, but don't get it twisted, this is still a good team. And Miami, for all of its failures to ever exceed expectations, has plenty of talent on its roster. There's a good chance this one is lit.
3. Rose Bowl -- No. 5 Penn State Nittany Lions vs. No. 9. Southern California Trojans -- Jan. 2, 5 p.m.: Once it became clear that Penn State would be in the Rose Bowl, I was hoping that it would be facing Colorado. That isn't what happened, but it's really hard to complain about a Rose Bowl matchup against USC. These are both teams that got off to slow starts and then tore things up down the home stretch.
