Football ***College Football 2012 Bowl Thread*** - Page 17

The CFB Bowl selections are tonight, 8:30 on ESPN.

Reason I started this thread... New York Times' Pete Thamel is reporting that a source tells him Northern Illinois slipped into the top 16 and will play in the Orange Bowl against Florida State. ESPN's BCS guru Brad Edwards says he thinks NIU is in too.

Either way, bowl selections are starting to leak this afternoon.

What team were all those fatties cheering for?

O.city · 01-02-2013, 08:05 PM

Keep an eye on the TE from FLorida, would be a good target if he declares.

**DeezNutz** · 01-02-2013, 08:05 PM

Large Gator.

**notorious** · 01-02-2013, 08:06 PM

A lot of game left.

Remember, Florida is stacked at least 2 deep at every position. Let's see if Louville can keep up against the constant hammering of fresh muscle.

Damn, good drive so far.

Good point, Strong hasn't had enough time to build depth

Florida:

*Matt Elam, S - ballhawk and fearless hitter, a safety tandem of him + Berry would be ridiculous

*Sharrif Floyd, DT - Perfect 3-4 DE but also big & skilled enough to play inside in a 4-3 and still rush the passer. An absolute force.

*Jordan Reed, TE - Big, athletic, pass-catching TE. Needs to improve pass blocking. Was a QB recruit out of HS who changed positions after a year. Still learning how to play TE so will only get better.

Josh Evans, S - mid-round solid safety. He doesn't flash but is usually in the right position and is a good tackler. Not sure he'd be a big upgrade over Kendrick Lewis.

Jon Bostic, ILB - mid-round thumper who would fit in nicely next to DJ

Caleb Sturgis, K - Probably the top kicker in the draft this year next to Hopkins from the school out west. Excellent, clutch kicker.

Louisville:

*Hakeem Smith, S - mid-round. Good size, could put on some weight. Solid against the run.

Mario Benavides, C - good run & pass blocker with nice size.

I expect all 3 Florida juniors noted above to declare.

It's tough. 1st teams from any conference can hang with the SEC, but the depth is what kills in the end.

You never know, though. Florida's offense suck major donkey balls.

It's sad that if Murray leaves, Franklin is likely the 4th best QB in the SEC next year.

Yeah, the depth is a killer in the SEC, they can play with them for 3 quarters but IDK if they hang in the 4th.

It really hurts cause all our good players are sophomores

Nice stand by Louisville aided by stupid Florida penalties.

O.city · 01-02-2013, 08:17 PM

DaKC, I love all three juniors from Florida, but I don't really know if Elam is a FS.

Bostic is an idea later in the draft, and Floyd would be a steal if he were to be in the 3rd, but I think he goes in the 2 maybe 1.

Reed is who I'm targeting with one of our 3rd rounders.

I think Elam and Berry could flip flop at FS/SS. Doesn't matter. Both have ball skills and are good against the run.
