DO all the picks need to be made before the first bowl game, or can each bowl game be be picked just before they start like the NFL?

Rolling lock just before kickoff, so no need to make all the picks a month in advance for the later games.

3 more bowls than last year, what happens next year? 45 games? :doh:

No bones and sauce to deal with here so maybe, just maybe I can whip your Llamass.

Need to get rid of some of these bowls so we don't have 5-7 teams in them.

Winning records for bowl teams would be nice. Too many 5-7 and 6-6 teams.

In the Bowl Mania, I'm impressed with Navy. Ranked #21 with a 0-0 record in the list vs Pitt. Navy is 9-2, so I don't know what's up with the 0-0?

I will be interested to see how many of the 3 .... 5-7 teams win their bowl games.

You do realize that with some of these bowls, the school actually loses money?

But the hope is not short term financial gain, but for the long term health of the program ... telling recruits that if they come to school XYZ, they are coming to a school who has played in post season bowl games for the last 12 years straight. Of course they don't highlight that they played in the Toilet Bowl sponsored by Charmin for 7 of those years ... :facepalm:

Who is Carmin? I thought the Toilet Bowl was brought to us by Ex-Lax in the 1st half and Ty-D-Bol for the 2nd half with a halftime NOT to be remembered. :eek:

Thanks Art! I don't follow D1 college closely so I employed my wife to help with the picks. Many picks are based on location, team colors, and which animal represents them. Wife giggled and wanted to see what the USC mascot looked like...

iboats has a group in the ESPN Capital One College Bowl Mania Pick 'Em game. All picks are straight and picks can be made now. Join the fun and get your picks in ...
Thanks speck. It will probably end in humiliation for me once again, but what the heck. I'll give it a shot. It's the fun that counts.

Just thinking about the beauty of cookies. I clicked the link in Art's post and when the screen rolled up it said "Welcome back bassman284!" Good thing because I really don't remember my password.
