Default Biggest Bowl Game Surprise of the Year...

So, what does everyone think was the game that was the most surprising??

It doesn't necessarily have to be from the list, these are just a few examples...shout out some "write-in" votes if you've got any!!

I personally voted for USC's thumping of Michigan.

I really thought that Michigan was one of the best teams in the country, and for USC to come out in the second half and do what they did to Michigan...that really, REALLY surprised me.

See, they didn't surprise me as much as they should have...I thought that they could hang...I didn't think they'd win, but I thought they'd hang.

So their win to me wasn't as surprising as two other games: Michigan-USC and Florida-OSU.

My vote goes for Boise State/Oklahoma. I didn't think this game was going to close.

did you think OU would get blown out?????

i thought BSU would win, but the two bowl games that shocked the shit out of me were:

usc/mich - i was sure michigan would come out on top, but in big10 style, they stayed home

florida/osu - osu got STOMPED! florida came to play and i guess osu overlooked their opponent for this bowl game. shame shame shame.


what was big10's bowl record this year?
