Excellent find...for those too lazy to click I was not expecting this at all
1. Cheez-It -- TCU 10, California 7 OT: Yes, that's right. My No. 1 bowl game this season featured 17 points and nine turnovers. Believe me, this was not a pretty game. It was not a well-played game. In fact, I'm confident both Gary Patterson and Justin Wilcox will burn the tape and move on to prepare for next season rather than go over what went wrong. But in spite of all that, it was great. There were so many moments in this game where you were openly announcing to yourself, or a crowded room, "What the f--- was that!?" If you were watching this game in a bar or alongside thousands of your closest friends on Twitter, it wasn't just a game but a social event. Twenty years from now, you won't remember most things from the 2018 college football bowl season, but I guarantee you'll remember watching the Cheez-It Bowl. Just beautifully bad football. A cult classic. Five stars. If they ever make it into a movie, both The Rock and Jason Statham will be in it.

I described the game to friends that didn’t see it as awful, but entertaining. Certainly had drama and plenty of crazy, ridiculous, and frustrating moments. I’ve seen thousands of good football games that I can’t remember a single play. I’ll remember this game.

BU can't even beat us at this ranking....clearly we had the highest upside movement from pre-bowls prediction as he had the Cheez It Bowl as his 35th best bowl coming in.
2. Texas -- Baylor 45, Vanderbilt 38: Clearly, I did not see this game coming. I had the Texas Bowl ranked at No. 29 in my pre-bowl rankings because I thought it would be somewhat of a sluggish affair. It was not. These two teams combined for 1,241 yards of offense, 11 touchdowns and 83 points. This was everything you want from a bowl game. It was fun, exciting and close. These kind of games were few and far between in 2018, so I'm thankful to both Baylor and Vanderbilt for providing us with it. (29)

Our bowl game was a beautiful cluster of a game... a slap stick classic. I watched every minute and laughed my ass off.

Enjoyed the whole article. Laughed out loud at the write-up of the #1 game.

Sounds like Kellogg (the company behind Cheez-Its) is getting quite a bit of mileage out of their sponsorship of this bowl. Pictures of TCU players pouring large quantities of Cheez-Its into their mouths make everyone smile. Plus how cool is it that next year in ACS you can look up at the list of bowls TCU football has been to and one of them is: Cheez-It Bowl. Kellogg's also makes Pringles, Cheetos, Pop Tarts, and Goldfish. All have the potential of being great bowl names.

Baylor just can't wait for the Pop a Tart Bowl.
Edit. I know, I know.
