Capital One Bowl Cheerleader Preview -- Alabama v. Michigan State

Talk about a couple of teams that had higher hopes this season. Bama was the returning national champion and had the Heisman trophy winner coming back. They seemed to have all the pieces necessary to make a run for back-to-back championships. Unfortunately for the Bammers, things didn't work out that way.

Michigan State's hopes ran even deeper into the season. Like, all the way until bowl selection day. I think most people thought the Spartans would get an at-large BCS bid. I KNOW the Michigan State folks thought they would get one. Instead, they have to go to Orlando to play (easily) the best 3-loss team in the country. Congratulations.
