College Football review proudly presents...

A cheap cop-out. Er, I mean, the lightning quick overview of the New Year's Day and January 2nd bowl games! Because of a long drive, I can't do in-depth anything for these 10 games. I promise to make it up to you with good reviews and a decent preview set for the last couple games. Thus, without further ado...here are the games (picks in school color and in bold) and a list of games you should watch (particularly compelling reasons given in parenthesis:

January 1, 2010:

Outback Bowl: Northwestern vs. Auburn

Capital One Bowl: #13 Penn State vs. #12 LSU

Gator Bowl: #16 West Virginia vs. Florida State (side note for this one, pour out a glass of your favorite beverage for Bobby Bowden. The man's earned that much from all of us who love college football.)

Rose Bowl: #7 Oregon vs. #8 Ohio State

Sugar Bowl: #3 Cincinnati vs. #5 Florida

January 2, 2010:

International Bowl: South Florida vs. Northern Illinois

Cotton Bowl: #19 Oklahoma State vs. Ole Miss

Papajohns.com Bowl: South Carolina vs. UConn

Liberty Bowl: Arkansas vs. East Carolina

Alamo Bowl: Michigan State vs. Texas Tech


Games you should watch:

• Capital One Bowl
• Gator Bowl (last game of the second winningest coach of all time. Watch this game, if only for historical value)
• Rose Bowl
• Sugar Bowl (Tebow's last game, forget Urban Meyer.)
• International Bowl (to say that you watched it. You'll be in the minority.)
• Cotton Bowl (you might just see me on TV. Isn't that worth it?)
• Alamo Bowl (see how Texas Tech performs without its coach...

That's all for that. Happy New Year, and I'll see you guys with a full writeup of the week and a half I've missed...
