| SDCCU |
HORNED FROGS vs. Huskies |
San Diego is very unfriendly to sled dogs. |
| Las Vegas |
COUGARS vs. Ducks |
In the absence of a pond, the predatory cat has a decisive advantage. |
| New Orleans |
Owls vs. Trojans |
Marquee Mascot Matchup |
| Papa Johns |
Bulls vs. PIRATES |
"Arrr, matey. Methinks beef makes a tasty pizza topping." |
| New Mexico |
LOBOS vs. Spartans |
Spooked Spartans can't handle the homefield howl. |
| Armed Forces |
Golden Hurricanes vs. UTES |
Utes are the only armed force playing. |
| Hawai`i |
Sun Devils vs. RAINBOW WARRIORS |
Weather is crucial. Precipitation brings a Warrior win. |
| Motor City |
Blue Raiders vs. CHIPPEWAS |
Local knowledge. What the hell is a Blue Raider anyway? |
| Emerald |
Seminoles vs. BRUINS |
It takes a lot of spears and tomahawks to kill a grizzly bear. |
| Independence |
COWBOYS vs. Crimson Tide |
Mascot ambiguity. Are you a color or an elephant? I can't tell, so you lose. |
| Holiday |
GOLDEN BEARS vs. Aggies |
Again, ambiguity. Are you a fighting farmer or a Lassie dog? Make up your mind before the bear eats you. |
| Texas |
SCARLET KNIGHTS vs. Wildcats |
Too much armor for this size of cat to handle. |
| Music City |
TIGERS vs. Wildcats |
Bigger growl. |
| Sun |
Beavers vs. TIGERS |
El Paso, home of plentiful ponds and logs...wait, no. Stripes strike again. |
| Liberty |
COUGARS vs. Gamecocks |
Big cat vs. fighting chicken. Don't know about you, but I'm going with kitty. |
| Insight |
RED RAIDERS vs. Gophers |
"Shoot them varmits!" |
| Champs Sports |
Boilermakers vs. TERRAPINS |
Fear the turtle in swampy Florida. |
| Meineke |
Midshipmen vs. EAGLES |
I don't see American soldiers killing eagles anytime soon. |
| Alamo |
LONGHORNS vs. Hawkeyes |
Memo to Iowa. There are many real birds to choose from. Hawks, eagles, owls, gulls, vultures, raptors... Find one. |
| Peach |
Bulldogs vs. HOKIES |
Any turkey who survived Thanksgiving is one tough bird. |
| MPC |
Hurricanes vs. WOLFPACK |
Normally this tropical storm system is a sure winner. But a hurricane, in Boise? |
| Outback |
Volunteers vs. NITTANY LIONS |
See Holiday Bowl. Militiaman or hound dog? |
| Cotton |
TIGERS vs. Cornhuskers |
Hey Nebraska, better go hide in the tractor. |
| Gator |
MOUNTAINEERS vs. Yellow Jackets |
Killer bees are tough, but hillbillies will find a way to put 'em in a stew. |
| Capitol One |
Razorbacks vs. BADGERS |
Best matchup of the year. The gutty badgers outlast the pigs in an ugly bloodbath. |
| Rose |
Trojans vs. WOLVERINES |
Who wants to wrestle a really pissed-off wolverine? Not me. |
| Fiesta |
BRONCOS vs. Sooners |
Last I checked, horses pull wagons. |
| Orange |
Cardinals vs. DEMON DEACONS |
Feisty preachers fear not of growling songbirds. |
| Sugar |
Fighting Irish vs. TIGERS |
Lucky clovers are nice and all, but you need more against predators with big teeth. Like wolverines, and tigers. |
| International |
Bearcats vs. BRONCOS |
I like bearcats, but they're from the jungle, and Toronto is cold, especially in January. |
| GMAC |
BOBCATS vs. Golden Eagles |
Bobcats are too big for the eagle's talons. |
| BCS Championship |
GATORS vs. Buckeyes |
I can't see a gator showing interest, let alone eating a poisonous nut. How else can the Buckeyes win? |
