Capital One Bowl Week

It's my favoriate holiday tradtion -- gathering the family around the television on a Thursday and dialing up ESPN2 at 10:30 eastern for the three hours of unadulterated excitement that is the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.

And what a treat it will be tonight -- a matchup of two teams that have won 13 games between then, Colorado State and Navy.

Bowl games like this are definitely more exciting than March Madness, so I can see why athletic directors are so reluctant for a football playoff.
