Now that the college football bowl season is over (minus the national title game), CBS Sports has ranked the games from best to worst.
The Peach Bowl was ranked as the No. 1 game, with Georgia surviving Ohio State 42-41 at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve.
To the surprise of no one, the Music City Bowl came in at No. 38 out of 41. The game featured 18 punts and virtually no offense by either team (literally no offense for Kentucky).
Here is an excerpt about the game:
38. Music City Bowl
Iowa 21, Kentucky 0: OK, here’s the thing. I loved this game. It was exactly what it was supposed to be. Iowa was missing its top two quarterbacks, while Kentucky was without its starting QB and two leading rushers. These were two awful offenses during the regular season, and it turns out that when you remove all the starters from the equation, they didn’t improve. There were 21 points scored in the game and 18 punts … and Iowa’s defense scored two of the three touchdowns on pick sixes!
If you tuned into this game, you knew what you were in for and that’s what you got. That said, just because it went the way it was supposed to doesn’t mean it was a good game. I loved it, but in the way a mother still loves her child after they’ve been convicted of heinous crimes against humanity. Pregame ranking: 17
