Seriously, is anyone going to watch this game? This is the mighty "Cap One Bowl", once the top non-BCS bowl, and now it is just another also-ran, except for the money. Anyway, this is an intriguing matchup. IMO, Missouri suffers from reverse-SEC bias, the bias against SEC East teams. Minnesota has flown under the radar, but after a bad loss to awful Illinois, they got better, playing Ohio State and Wisconsin tough, and beating Nebraska. Missouri has their own awful loss, to Indiana, but they also recently beat late-season Arkansas, which others have struggled to do lately. This is a real close call, but ...

Missouri 24
Minnesota 21

This game has the latest ending time of the three initial games so yes I think everyone will be watching it. Minnesota is surprisingly talented and athletic. I think this is a Great match up. Missouri has a quick defense up front so it will be interesting to see which team better prepares.

This is an important Big Ten vs SEC match up. Usually these games are damn near home games for the SEC team, that is not the case in this one.

Interesting Bowl Matchup!!!!

So far, defense has been in short supply today. Hopefully, somebody in this game can play some D.
