I have assigned points to each game from 1 to 32 based on the highest ranked team in the game according to the BCS poll.

You get the corresponding points for each game you predict correctly.

I would prefer all picks by the start of the first bowl game, but you can join late and take zeros for the games missed.

No changes will be accepted after the first game has been played.

I'll post running totals a few times during the bowl season, since it spans almost 3 weeks.

Use the sorted list below for all picks and just list the team you pick to win. Keep the number with your pick and keep the list in order


1. Florida Atlantic vs Memphis
2. New Mexico Nevada
3. Purdue vs Central Michigan
4. Colorado vs Alabama
5. Georgia Tech vs Fresno State
6. Indiana vs Oklahoma State
7. Rutgers vs Ball State
8. Tulsa vs Bowling Green
9. Kentucky vs Florida State
10. TCU vs Houston
11. Utah vs Navy
12. Penn State vs Texas A&M
13. Air Force vs California
14. UCF vs Mississippi State
15. Maryland vs Oregon State
16. Wake Forest vs Connecticut
17. East Carolina vs Boise State
18. Cincinnati vs Southern Miss
19. South Florida vs Oregon
20. Virginia vs Texas Tech
21. BYU vs UCLA
22. Wisconsin vs Tennessee
23. Auburn vs Clemson
24. Boston College vs Michigan State
25. Michigan vs Florida
26. Texas vs Arizona State
27. USC vs Illinois
28. Missouri vs Arkansas
29. Hawaii vs Georgia
30. Oklahoma vs West Virginia
31. Virginia Tech vs Kansas
32. Ohio State vs LSU

Top 5 Ways To Pick College Bowl Winners
5 - Pick the team that comes first alphabetically.
4 - Take the first teams listed.
3 - Take the last teams listed.
2 - Flip a coin for each game.
1 - Magic 8 Ball


There's still a couple of days before the first bowl game. I think there were less than 10 games that I had any kind of feeling about. The rest are just guesses.

Like the Lottery, you can't win if you don't play!

Changes may be made up to the first game tonight without penalty. Since new players can join after the first few games have been played and receive 0 for those games, I will accept changes to later games after the first few games have been played if you are willing to forfeit any points earned in those games.

Mamie316: I have recorded your change.

I am also changing my number 9 to Kentucky.
Probably for the same reason as Mamie316.

Wow! The last 2 games had pretty good endings.

BYU blocks a 28 yard field goal as time expires to beat UCLA last night.

Now Boise State recovers a fumble and returns it 48 yards to tie the game at 38 against East Carolina with only 1:25 left in the game. Only to have East Carolina drive down to the 16 and kick the game winning field goal as time expires.

Now we get a few days off before the next batch of games.

Nino: Here's why:

The Music City Bowl, which will take place in Nashville on New Year's Eve, pits the Kentucky Wildcats against the Florida State Seminoles, who have been rocked by an off-the-field scandal. Bobby Bowden, the winningest coach in the history of major college football, leads Florida State into this contest, and he has led the Seminoles to a bowl game in 26 consecutive seasons. Unfortunately, Bowden will be missing up to 36 of his players for this bowl game, as many as 25 of whom have been suspended because of their involvement in an academic cheating scandal.

Owl: Good catch. You are correct about your score, but I messed it up a more complicated way!. LOL!

I missed the 16 points result for the Wake Forest vs Connecticut game, which is why I only showed 13 games completed. That left you 16 points short.
Then, I had your pick for the 10 point game incorrectly entered into the spread sheet, so that's were you lost the other 10 points.
