No. 11 – Citrus Bowl (LSU 29 Louisville 9)

The Cardinals, at one point, seemed destined for either a playoff berth or at the very least a spot in the Orange Bowl. They finished with a three game losing streak and looked like hot garbage against a LSU team without its best player.

No. 10 – Pinstripe Bowl (Northwestern 31 Pittsburgh 24)

It isn’t so much that the Panthers came up short in this one and got the loss. It’s the fact they did so against a middle of the road team from the Big Ten in a postseason where they conference was a laughing stock.

No. 9 – Sun Bowl (Stanford 25 North Carolina 23)

I don’t care that the Tar Heels technically lost this game thanks to some questionable moments at the end. There was no reason why UNC shouldn’t have gone to El Paso and gotten a convincing win in this one.
