Any bowl ranking that does not have the Illinois/UCLA game last was put together by a lazy writer supported by an even lazier research staff.

Agreed that UCLA-Illinois is the worst bowl. If Kraft really wants to stop hunger, it should ask Ron Zook and Rick Neuheisel to donate the remainder of their buyouts to charity.

Western and Purdue is another flaming bag of feces ready to explode all over your flatscreen upon kick-off.

Would that be in 3D?

BTW, Huguenin actually has the Tater Bowl as the 24th-best:

Wonder if Michael Moore will do an "Oversize Me II" based on the big spud they'll unveil at the game.

My worst ten:
10. Gator Bowl: OSU (6-6) vs Florida (6-6) - two horribly average-at-best teams with losing conference records.  Yawn.  
9. Little Caesars Pizza Bowl: West Mich (7-5) vs Purdue (6-6): awful when 5th best team in the MAC is the better team
8. Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas: Northwestern (6-6) vs Texas AM (6-6) - both teams has losing conference records
7. Music City Bowl: Wake Forest (6-6) vs Miss St (6-6) - at least someone will finish with a winning record
6. BBVA Compass Bowl: SMU (7-5) vs Pitt (6-6) - I dont' even know what to say
5. Beef O' Brady's Bowl: Marshall (6-6) vs FIU (8-4) - what does this trophy look like? 
4. Orange Bowl: WVU (9-3) vs Clemson (10-3) - both the Outback and Capital One Bowls have better matchups
3. Belk Bowl: Louisville (7-5) vs NCSU (7-5) - Where and What the hell is the Belk Bowl?
2. Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl: Illinois (6-6) vs UCLA (6-7) - Really?  BOTH teams fired their coach. 
1. BCS Champ Game: LSU vs Bama - Absurd that the best team in the country (Okla. St) isn't in this game; and just not a fan of the stupid system that prodcuces a fake champion.

My top ten:
1. Fiesta Bowl - Stanford (11-1) vs Ok St (11-1) - best offense in country vs best QB in country = best game of the bowl season
2. OUtback Bowl: Mich St (10-3) vs Georgia (10-3) - much better than most BCS matchups
3. Valero Alamo Bowl: Baylor (9-3) vs Washington (7-5) - both teams fun to watch
4. Insight Bowl: Iowa (7-5) vs Oklahoma (9-3) great matchup of two pretty good programs
5. GoDaddy.Com Bowl: Northern Ill (10-3, 7-1) vs Arkansas St (10-2, 8-0) - conf champ vs conf champ.  That doesn't happen often.
6. Hawaii Bowl: Nevada (7-5) vs So Miss (11-2) - Southern Miss is a top-five team.  Watch them play. 
7. Rose Bowl: Oregon (11-2) vs Wisconsin (11-2) - should be exciting
8. Maaco Bowl Las Vegas: Boise St (11-1) vs ASU (6-6) - BSU to beat yet another BCS conf team
9. Champs Sports Bowl: Fla St (8-4) vs Notre Dame (8-4) - fun for the fans of history I suppose
10. Famous Idaho Potato Bowl: Ohio (9-3) vs Utah St (7-5) - has to be on the list somewhere!
