Here's a real winner of a Bowl:
The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl - it's a nice idea and I'm all for fighting hunger, but this game should not be played and here's why...

Just in case anybody doubted the utter absurdity of the bowl system, I give you UCLA vs. Illinois
UCLA is under.500 and hasn't won an important game in almost two months but they get a BOWL because everybody gets a bowl (and USC wasn't bowl eligible)
The Bruins give up on average over 250 yards passing a game but that wouldn't be so bad if they also didn't give up on average 190 on the ground.
That's a Bowl quality defense..?

And their competition in this snoozer is Illinois
Illinois comes in riding a red-hot six-game losing streak and has what one ranking system identifies as one, count 'em one quality conference win...
Against - wait for it... wait....one quality conference win against football powerhouse Indiana

Indiana - yeah just let that soak in... Your one quality conference win is against Indiana

Just for good measure, and to insure a scintillating story line both schools head coaches have been fired.
The only way to make this bowl worse - or maybe better: A halftime human sacrifice.
