[NU Sports] Possible Bowl matchups

[neonrye at aol.com]

Stephen,

You're gonna like this.  CBSSports.com has us picked for Insight Bowl in your backyard vs. Texas Tech:

Much to my chagrin (and Mark Ament's probably, too), they go for Sparty as pick for Champs Sports Bowl, which I would like, as I, too, will be down in Florida at that time.

Nice ESPN blog about Corey W's big game:

> Would love to see such a matchup,
 too, but unfortunately, the only Big Ten vs. Pac-10 game is
I know ... Stanford and NU, the two brain schools, take out the Pasadena 
rontrunners (and thus help both of the jockocracy-rule schools from Columbus 
nd SC ... thank your nerd buddies, Bucknuts and Spoiled Children!).
> the Rose Bowl. So, what I'd like to see instead is an
 Insight Bowl rematch against Missouri.
Or an Alamo rematch with Nebraska??? If we beat Illinois and escape the 6-6 
ogjam, I don't think we can fall to the Insight (which is unfortunate for me 
iving in the Valley of the Sun). I also don't think we crack the Rose/Florida 
op four bowls (Champs picks before Alamo) unless the Big Ten somehow gets two 
CS teams. So a win next week probably sends us to San Antonio again.
> And, speaking of the Rose Bowl, with Ohio State's win and
 Oregon's loss today, it would not at all surprise me to see
 an eventual Rose Bowl rematch of (yawn) SC vs. Ohio State.
 That could happen if OSU beats Iowa and if Oregon loses
 again, while SC wins out.
Actually, Oregon would have to lose twice, wouldn't they? The Ducks have one Pac 
0 loss while SC has two and Oregon has the tiebreak.
The sentimental fave would probably be Arizona - the only Pac 10 school to never 
ake a Rose Bowl. They have a final stretch of Cal, Oregon (at home) and SC, so 
hey control their fate.
GO CATS!!!
