I personally (my brother) will use two out of these.
Louisville and Notre Dame.

I had an interesting discussion with an ex Les Miles player and he says Miles is horrible for preparing for bowl games. I asked him what about the preparation is bad and he said he works the kids till they can barely stand up. I asked do you mean Miles' teams come in physically worn down, he stated yes. Take that for what its worth... but I also sense some LSU overconfidence. If Notre Dame can give Quinn some time, and ND defensive line (which I think is by far the strongest part of a bad defense) can get to that monster LSU QB, we might have an interesing game.

Seems like in most of these bowl games, the offenses are ahead of the defenses with so much time to prepare.
