Carla and Crappy Show: The 2022 Big Boy Bowl Edition

Bowlapalooza season is still underway -- and it's been a good one so far. Carla was quite pleased with Middle Tennessee's big win in Hawaii, while Crappy was impressed by Fresno's complete domination of Washington State. 

But now it's time to turn our attention to the big-time bowl games.

While the schedule is a bit strange this year thanks to New Year's Day falling on a Sunday, we expect all of the New Year's Six bowl games to be spectacular.  Let's dive right in, shall we?

Capital One "Orangiest" Bowl: No. 6 Tennessee vs. No. 7 Clemson (8 ET Friday, ESPN): We've got all the orange we can handle in this game, featuring two new QBs and a bunch of question marks.

Allstate Sugar Bowl: No. 5 Alabama vs. No. 9 Kansas State (Noon ET Saturday, ESPN): Carla and Crappy have similar thoughts on this game. The Powercats will be super motivated to play in a big bowl game; what's Bama's motivation level here?

Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic: No. 16 Tulane vs. No. 10 USC (1 ET Monday, ESPN): The Trojans haven't done well when they play defensively solid teams this year. (Oh, hi there, Tulane.) Does USC have enough speed for that to matter?

Rose Bowl Game Presented By Prudential: No. 11 Penn State vs. No.8 Utah (5 ET Monday, ESPN): The Granddaddy of Them All features two teams that play like B1G teams. Carla hopes that means good things for her Nittany Lions.

CFP Vrbo Fiesta Bowl: No. 3 TCU vs. No. 2 Michigan (4 ET Saturday, ESPN): It pains Crappy to say it, but Michigan's defense is good. The Horny Toads have found ways to win all season, though.

CFP Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: No. 4 Ohio State vs. No. 1 Georgia (8 ET Saturday, ESPN): The Bucks need to make some big-time defensive adjustments. Georgia has found death star mode multiple times this season. Crappy, however, is motivated by what happened the last time Ohio State was a No. 4 in the CFP. 

So, soak up all of the college football this week, yinz, because the season is nearly over. We'll be back next week to wrap things up with a preview of the national title game. Cheers!
