The Poinsettia Bowl matchup between No. 9 Boise State and No. 11 TCU will be a good showcase for outsiders. Like many observers, Whittingham thinks the game may be the best of all the non-BCS bowls.

Bowl season kicks off Saturday with four games, including two involving MWC teams — Colorado State against Fresno State in the New Mexico Bowl and BYU vs. Arizona in the Las Vegas Bowl. On New Year's Eve, Air Force and Houston meet in the Armed Forces Bowl.

Utah's bowl preparations begin in earnest today as players complete final exams. The Utes will be on the practice field daily, except for Sunday, until breaking for Christmas following a morning session on Dec. 23. They'll reunite for practice on Dec. 27 in New Orleans.
