      I think that might be the case with a lot of us.  I know Auburn is 
highly ranked but I don't think I saw them play all year.  I don't I would 
classify myself as pumped but I am very interested.

      There have been some good games.  The two that I couldn't believe was 
Navy and Minnesota never should have lost.  In my opinion, though, there are 
way too many bowl games.  We all know why there are as many as there are. 
It has to do with something green.  If I counted correctly there are 31 bowl 
games.  That would include 62 teams.  There are 119 teams in Division IA so 
over half the teams go to bowl games.  I just think going to a bowl game 
should be a little more exclusive than that.
