Bowl: Poinsettia Bowl (San Diego)
Matchup: TCU (10-2) vs. Northern Illinois (7-5)
Seriously, give me one reason to watch this for five minutes: No. Illinois' RB Garrett Wolfe needs 100 yards for 2,000 yards on the season. He'll have to do it against the nation's No. 4 rushing defense.

Bowl: Las Vegas Bowl (Las Vegas, NV)
Matchup: Oregon (7-5) vs. BYU (10-2)

Matchup: Rice (7-5) vs. Troy (7-5)
Seriously, give me one reason to watch this for five minutes: Because if you don't watch every sporting event that takes place in New Orleans, the terrorists will win.

Bowl: Papajohns.com Bowl (Birmingham, AL)
Matchup: South Florida (8-4) vs. East Carolina (7-5)

Bowl: Hawaii Bowl (Honolulu, HI)
Matchup: Hawaii (10-3) vs. Arizona State (7-5)
Seriously, give me one reason to watch this for five minutes: Colt Brennan chuks at least four TDs a game. June Jones in a Hawaiian t-shirt. Jerry Glanville is prominently involved. Come to think of it, why haven't we been watching Hawaii football all season?
