2009-2010 College Bowls Special Issue |
The college Bowl season begins with 2 Bowls on Saturday, December 19 and culminates with the game for the national championship, the BCS Championship Game, on Thursday, January 7, 2010 in Pasadena, CA.
In this issue we
provide technical selections for most of the 34 Bowls, using the same 1 Star to 5
Star scale we've used throughout the regular season. For 5 Bowls the criterion we
use cancel out, resulting in there being no Technical selection for those Bowls.
The selections
are presented in chronological order rather than by strength of selection. The technical
selections are based more on generic/situational/statistical past performances rather
than team-specific histories which may result in some of the following Trends &
Tendencies selections to differ from those we make in the more comprehensive analysis
provided in our College & Pro Football Newsletter.
