My thoughts:
The good:
Boise State vs. TCU: Couple of good mid-majors should pull out all the stops
West Virginia vs. UNC: Don't care for either team, but should be a good game
Oklahoma State vs. Oregon: Fireworks abound in this one
Oregon State vs. Pitt: 2 teams that won a lot of close games and games against weaker competition...who's for real?
Rice vs. Western Michigan: 2 under-the-radar teams who should throw the ball quite a bit and put some points up
The bad:
NCSt vs. Rutgers: The way Rutgers finished, this has blowout written all over it.
BC vs. Vanderbilt: Vandy was in a tailspin the last half of the year (shock, shock) and BC was playing pretty well until the ACC title game.
LSU vs. Georgia Tech: LSU is way down this year, and Tech can run like crazy and is playing a de facto home game at the dome.
The ugly:
Colorado State vs. Fresno State: This game is so 6 years ago.
Memphis vs. South Florida: Neither team could really beat anyone down the stretch.
Southern Miss vs. Troy: This game is so 3 years ago.
Florida Atlantic vs. Central Michigan: What fan hasn't been clamoring for this obvious heavyweight matchup for years?
Northern Illinois vs. LA Tech: What the...
Maryland vs. Nevada: The empty fridge versus the bullet-less pistol. Quite the barnburner on the blue turf. Not.
and of course...
Hawaii vs. Notre Dame: It may be must-see TV for the storylines, but it might be a horse abortion of a football game.
