This Year’s Holiday Bowl Games Includes The Cornhuskers And The Huskies Again
When they lost their game last Sunday and went down in the Big 12 ratings to position 5, the Nebraska Cornhuskers (10-3) failed to qualify for the Big Bowl Championships. As far as recruit ranking is concerned the team is in position 17. They were waiting to be invited to play in the Insight Bowl games facing Iowa which represents the Big 10 Conference. As it turned out, Missouri was invited instead. However, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have subsequently been invited to play in the Holiday bowl games. Although the Insight and the Holiday Bowl games are in the same category, the give-aways of the Holiday Bowl are bigger.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers find themselves re-matched against the Washington Huskies. In order to qualify for the Holiday Bowl the Nebraska Cornhuskers has to defeat Washington State. On the other end, UCLA, California and Washington State were dismantled by Washington University in order to get in the Holiday games. This is the third time that the Nebraska Cornhuskers are playing the Holiday Bowl. In their last game, they brought down Arizona 33-0.
The Washington Huskies have also participated in the Holiday bowl thrice in the past. The last occasion was in 2007. This year’s playoff continues the grudge match between the two teams. In all a total of eight games have been played, the last one was on September, 2010. In that game Washington was defeated by 35 points. The current score for these grudge matches is 4-3-1 in Nebraska Cornhuskers’ favor. In the previous two games before the September, 2010 match, Washington also lost. Following this latest game, the grudge match is scheduled to be continued next season.
The Holiday bowl is required to get teams from PAC-10 and the Big 12 who have at least 6 games to their name. After the BCS, Cotton, Alamo and Insight the Holiday Bowl has the next pick from the Big 12 teams. This year, the BCS Fiesta Bowl selected Oklahoma, the Cotton bowl selected Texas A&M, The Alamo Bowl invited Oklahoma and Insight chose Missouri.
It is not often that bowl games invite the same teams for two straight years. When that happens, it can only mean that those two were the only ones eligible under normal circumstances. If the Nebraska Cornhuskers or the Huskies had failed to qualify, the bowl games management would have had to select from among the other teams that are in the highest 14 positions in the ratings and which have already won a total of 9 games in all. These substitute teams are called at-large teams.
The teams coaches are excited and eager about the re-match just a few months after their last match in September. The teams have become familiar with the tactics of each other that this up-and-coming game promises to have quite a few innovative strategies and surprise moves from both sides of the fence. All in all, despite the somewhat unconventional nature of the match-up, the Holiday Bowl expects a heavy turnout of fans who are eager to see how the 4-3-1 current score favoring the Nebraska Cornhuskers will stand after the game.
