Bowl Watch, 201
December 02, 2007
I guess we’ve graduated into sophomores in this Bowl Watch thing now.
I spoke to Troy head coach Larry Blakeney a few minutes ago, and he and the Troy officials are pretty much in the same line of thinking as I am. If the BCS shuns Hawaii OR invites Arizona State and a second Big 10 school (to the Rose, Ohio State is in the title game) to one of its bowls, then it should have the Armed Forces Bowl left over for Troy.
The selection show is at 7 p.m. Usually stuff leaks out before then, but it should be an interesting few hours.
Of note, Arizona State beat Washington earlier this year 44-20, but might have to watch Hawaii, a team that played Northern Colorado and Charleston Southern and team that beat Washington 35-28 in the final minute, go to a BCS.
