New Mexico Bowl: Arizona vs. New Mexico. A home game for New Mexico and Bob Davie. They won on the smurf turf in Boise, and I think they can take out a Wildcats team that had high hopes this year and floundered.
Las Vegas Bowl: BYU vs. Utah (Holy War in Sin City). Kind of ironic these 2 playing each other in Las Vegas of all places??
Camellia Bowl: Ohio vs. Appalachian State. No idea
Cure Bowl: San Jose State vs. Georgia State. And of Georgia State loses, 2 teams playing in the same bowl will both finish with losing records! If that doesn't say "there's too many bowl games" I don't know what does.
New Orleans Bowl: Arkansas State vs. Louisiana Tech. Could be an exciting game.

BTW, why are they putting a game in San Diego at 1:30 local time?? Makes absolutely no sense. Switch this and the Go Daddy Bowl in Birmingham.
Georgia Southern vs.Bowling Green. Don't know much about either team.
Middle Tennessee vs.Western Michigan. Directional Michigan vs. non-directional Tennessee! San Diego State vs.Cincinnati. I know this game is usually played on Christmas Eve, but why have it in the same time slot as the NFL game?? I'll get the rest of the first selections sometime Thursday or Friday.
7-5 heading into the final part 1 selections, let's finish strong!
St. Petersburg Bowl: Connecticut vs. Marshall. Bob Diaco has the program on the upswing, but the Herd has too much firepower for us to slow down for an entire 60 minutes.
Sun Bowl: Miami vs. Washington State. The Cougs!
Heart of Dallas Bowl: Washington vs. Southern Miss. Huskies end the season strong
Pinstripe Bowl: Indiana vs. Duke. Duke still hasn't recovered from that Miami game, think Indiana will take this
Independence Bowl: Tulsa vs. Virginia Tech. Tulsa is only playing about 5 and a half hours away, so they should have a pretty good contingent in Shreveport, and the Huskies are missing some starters, but I'll take Beamer winning with Beamer ball in his last game.
Foster Farms Bowl: UCLA vs. Nebraska. Nebraska should be thankful they are even playing in a bowl game and got the extended practice.
I am excited to see how Nick Mullins matches up against the UW defense. Should be a great game, strength on strength. Good luck, Southern Miss, though not too much of course. Hope no one gets hurt and that you have a great signing day and 2016, win or lose tomorrow.
There weren’t enough teams with the required six wins to become bowl-eligible, so the field was filled out with 5-7 teams based on their Academic Progress Rate. Nebraska was tops among those teams in that category.
Long answer: There weren't enough eligible teams that qualified, so I think choosing between 5-7 teams broke down to graduation rate or something like that, and of the 5-7 teams Nebraska was one of the highest. Of course they could've declined the bid like some teams did to save face which probably would've been even LESS embarrassing, which is really sad.
