Matchup: Baylor vs Washington. Baylor has its best year ever this season. Nine wins and a Heisman Trophy. Washington has another solid year in its quest of rebuilding out of the morass.
Matchup Pedigree: Role Reversal. Baylor's won nine games and had its best year ever. Washington still stinks by pre-2003 Washington standards.
Locale: OK, San Antonio is good, but black marks for playing in a dome.
Entertainment Value: Off the charts. Washington has long though defense is optional and wins it share of games anyway. Baylor has Mr. Heisman dropping 50 yard passes into windows the size of postage stamps. This is everything one could want from a bowl game as long as RG3 didn't get fat on the awards circuit.
Corporate Nonsense: Valero sells you cheap gas. Unless you pay with a credit card. Then Valero sells you cheap gas while stealing your money or sells you more expensive gas depending on the perspective. Let the presence of Valero here teach you that anyone can sponsor a bowl game with a enough money.
Bowl Pedigree: Improving. Previously, this game matched Big 12 and Big 10 4. Now, it stole the old Holiday Bowl Matchup and places Pac-12 2 against Big 12 3. Of course, with two in the BCS this season from the Pac-12, the rest of the league gets moved up one undeserved notch.
Game Prediction: Washington plays no defense RG3 will have his way.
Baylor 48, Washington 28
Should you watch: You MUST. The Heisman winner is in this game. You always watch the Heisman winner.
