I think the Dawgs will be much more competitive against the Cornhuskers in the Holiday bowl then earlier in the season.

As far as the NC game, I hope Auburn pounds the Ducks.


Seems reasonable enough but does the Big 12 have a total say in who goes where? Doens't the bowl committee have some say? I mean, there were plenty of other 6-6 and 7-5 teams going bowling that would have matched up with the Dawgs rather than the 10-3 Huskers. Except for a few bowls that have automatic berths depending on specific placement, isn't the idea to arrange closely matched teams so that the games will be close so the TV ratings will be higher?
