Rankings the 35 bowl matchups

19. Texas Bowl, Baylor (7-5) vs. Illinois (6-6), Dec. 29: There shouldn't be much defense. And if we're going to spend time watching two middling Big Six conference teams get together, we'd much prefer a high-scoring affair over a defensive struggle. Baylor QB Robert Griffin is fun to watch, too.

1. BCS national championship game, Auburn (13-0) vs. Oregon (12-0), Jan. 10: This should be a shootout on the scale of Texas-USC. Can either defense make more than three stops? If so, that might be the deciding factor.
