The bowl teams are set, so if you want to join the College Bowl Pick'em, just click the link above and make your choices! Since there's no prize as of yet, when you make your picks please make your first set of choices with something defining them as your primary set, i.e. "Dave's Picks 1".
If I do decide what prize to apportion, only the primary set of picks will be eligible. There will be others who are joining that are not from Halforums, so it's up to you to show them who is best at this!
For the record, you don't have to use real information for your picks (phone, name, etc) but if you win and I have a prize I'll need to be able to tell who you are.

If it makes you feel better, I'd pick Ohio State over Notre Dame.

I agree with that and I HATE Ohio State.

I won't change my pick in the Rose Bowl.

Seriously.

I mean, just because His Barryness is going to be on the sideline, that doesn't mean we're gonna suddenly beat Stanford.

I picked every SEC team and gave them the top confidence points in descending order from Alabama downward

I won't do it because I'm an honest individual, but you can edit your picks still, even for the game thats already started.

I would say given how that game ended up, that was some karma as a reward.

WooHoo! I got one right!

Both were fairly good games. The Toledo/Utah State one was nuts. Very close until right at the end when Utah State broke it open. That running back did nothing all day and then just tore shit up in the fourth quarter.

Gee, thanks Baylor, totally screwed up my chances.

SMU and Ohio University hit me hard, but Texas Tech's rally over the Gophers gave me 34 points.

I'll be getting about 55 points from Arizona State and Syracuse. Yay me!

Damn, SC, give me a heart attack. Very hard fought game with Michigan.

I still can't believe that I am tied for the best win/loss record in this thing.

Stanford just made like Flo in the Progressive commercial. "Oh, Badgerrrr...."

I don't see there being any separation between me and DA, though. Ugh.

Here's the reason why American Football players wear padding.

Jadeveon Clowney is a sophomore at South Carolina. After that hit, he might be getting some people suggesting he should come out for the NFL draft.

Too bad that hit would have cost his team 15 yards - and a $25k fine - if it'd happened in the NFL.


#25

He can't be in the draft. Still needs one more year out of high school


#26

And who's the leader of this shindig? Aw yeah!

Trouble is, if the rest of my picks are right, I still lose because WV-Kid has more points allocated to the same teams. The only way I can win it is if Oklahoma beats Texas A&M and Pitt pulls the upset.


#27

I'm out. My 35-point game wasn't protected from mayhem - like the Louisville Cardinals.


#28

Dave

Dave

NOBODY predicted that one. It so far has been the biggest upset of the bowl season.


#29

Dave

Dave

Welp, I lose. A&M killed Oklahoma so there's no way I can win now.

FYP.

The kiss of death was when the announcers started comparing OU's offense to the Badgers.

His name is WV_kid. He's all new & rubbing it in that he's better at picking bowl games than me.

There's another West Virginian on these boards besides DA and me?

Well, 6 mins left in the first quarter of the Championship game and so far, Notre Dame looks like they are in way over their heads

I don't know who looks less prepared for this game, Notre Dame, or the refs. Those were two really bad calls in a row.

I honestly just turned it off after the second blown call. I could tell how the game was going to go, and after the completely boring championship game last year, I didn't see any reason to waste my time watching another blowout by the Alabama Crimson Reftide.

Why should I cry more? I like Alabama. I just dislike boring one-sided games.

There was a lot of shady reffing in the game though. I think Notre Dame mightve only lost by 3 touchdowns if it was called better.


#49

I'm honestly just tired of the championship bowl game being lame and boring while there are fun to watch, exciting games between teams like UW and Boise State, or Nevada and Arizona. I've pretty much given up on watching any game after the Rose Bowl.

Only one more year of the BCS bs and we get to start moving to a real playoff system.

Minor point of order, Gared?

<--- UW. Has been since 1849.

What you refer to as "UW" is actually "The University of Washington".

We have a 20 year head start.

Well, your game was fun to watch too.
