In a game featuring two 8-4 teams, Washington State faces Miami in the Sun Bowl on Saturday, and 710 ESPN Seattle's coverage starts at 9 a.m. on with kickoff at 11.
When filling out my college bowl pool predictions every year, I try to go with teams that are thrilled to be there as opposed to teams that would prefer to be somewhere else.
I'm guessing the Cougs are happier to be in El Paso, Texas than the Hurricanes, whose program has experienced bigger bowls on a more consistent basis. Washington State is playing in its second bowl game in 12 years, so I'm thinking we're still at the point of being excited to play a bonus game in December no matter where it is.
