Many teams cannot get excited about the first 20 bowls or so, 6-6, 7-5 teams are not thrilled about playing other 6-6 teams.
Who is proud that their parents will see you in The Cheese It Bowl?
It seems each game one team is not even showing up but one does because of their circumstances, newer coach, hope for next year, happy to get into a bowl at all...
I would guess Auburn might stink today, so might WV, for both this is a huge letdown and players are out or on their way out, whereas Purdue and Cuse will want this win a lot more. Watch the defenses, if they swarm, if a lot of players on the field are excited by their tackles and pass break ups early in the game. Watch out if they laugh when they miss a tackle (a la Vandy).
We shall see.
GL!
