Snubbed out of final four for the first College Football Playoff, the TCU Horned Frogs will be looking to take their anger out on the Ole Miss Rebels, a team that was ranked in the top three for weeks at one time in the 2014 season. Outside of the playoffs, this bowl is one of the best and it should definitely be a fun one.

TCU has one of the best offenses in the nation, and the main reason why is obviously Trevone Boykin. However, what many people forget is their receiving group. Josh Doctson, Deante' Gray, and Kolby Listenbee have all been stellar in 2014. In the Big 12, there have been so many good receivers that Doctson has been forgotten about. He will have a chance to shine in this game.

14 years have gone by at TCU, and Gary Patterson is still one of the most underrated coaches in the league. Sometimes, coaches build programs and stay with them because of their bond, and that is the case with Patterson and TCU. In his 14-year career, Patterson has won 131 games with the Horned Frogs. This season, however, Patterson had by far his best group.

When Ole Miss brought in Robert Nkemdiche and Laquon Treadwell a few years ago, people knew that the Rebels were going to mean business. In 2014, those recruits paid dividends for Ole Miss. Nkemdiche, as well as this defense, was one of the best units in the nation. On the offensive end, despite having Bo Wallace as his quarterback, Treadwell did his part. Although they are both sophomores, these two will be fun to watch.

Just think back to last year when TCU kept playing Casey Pachall even though Trevone Boykin was playing better. In 2014, Boykin has been very important to TCU's success on the offensive end. The Horned Frogs have the nation's second highest-scoring offense, and the main reason why is because of Boykin. Not only can he read defenses better than most, but he makes so many plays with his legs that it's almost impossible to stop him.

When Bo Wallace was on his game in 2014, it was almost impossible to stop this Ole Miss team. Its first loss came against LSU. In that game, Wallace completed just 42 percent of his passes and threw an interception. In Ole Miss' second loss, Wallace threw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns, but he failed to get this team in position to win late. Ole Miss was a good team this year, but it could only go as far as Wallace could lead them.
