For the first time in a long time, I'm kind of excited about a lot of these lower-tier bowl game matchups. Anyone else?

Las Vegas Bowl: Utah and Colorado State - old MWC foes go at it

Potato Bowl: WMU and Air Force - Fleck's young talent against the triple option

Boca Raton: Marshall and NIU - probably the best G5 matchup you could ask for, Marshall going for the MAC sweep

Pinstripe Bowl: Boston College and Penn State - feels like these two should play every year, would be a good rivalry

Liberty Bowl: Texas A&M and WVU - defense optional

Russell Athletic Bowl: Oklahoma and Clemson - winner of this game is overrated going into preseason 2015

Texas Bowl: Arkansas and Texas - South. West. Conference.

Music City Bowl: Notre Dame and LSU - Remember the last time this happened?

Peach Bowl: Ole Miss and TCU - might turn out to be the best matchup outside of the playoff

Citrus Bowl: Missouri and Minnesota - I don't know why, but I love this game
