2006 Bowl Data
Posted Dec 28, 09:41 PM in Gators by Scott Conley
I don’t know if anyone else out there is keeping mind on the whole Florida/Michigan thing during the bowls, but with all of the talk about common opponents, I thought I’d keep score for us. Specifically, how our opponents are doing in the D1-A postseason.
Now, bear in mind that these might not be entirely fair to Florida, since The Boys played more bowl-eligible teams than did Michigan!
I invite you to draw your own conclusions from this data, and watch for updates as the bowl games close.
UPDATE: Now that Michigan has lay down to USC, I suppose Wolverine Fan might just channel his energies into his annual Lloyd Carr rant
I like how BobDoro on Detroit Free Press forums put it:
“I think today’s game clearly proves that Michigan should have the opportunity to play USC again in 6 weeks to determine who the real Rose Bowl champ should be.”
