This is the biggest non-BCS Bowl in Bowl Season '08. It is the one with national buzz and curiosity. In the abstract, writing that a battle between WAC and MWC teams, in a pre-Christmas bowl, would be one of the most anticipated bowls seems almost absurd. The reality is that this not only provides an intriguing match-up between two teams ranked in the top 11, but it is expected to be one of the most competitive and exciting of all the bowl games. A meeting between two well-coached, very good teams.
TCU's defense and Boise State's offense get the attention, but it isn't as if either team is a slouch on the other side of the ball. TCU has the 29th-best offense and Boise has the 16th-best defense in 1-A.
The game and the liveblog kickoff around 8 PM EST. Join us to talk about the game as it unfolds and the other bowl matchups for the rest of the week.
