$17 million? farging christ.
that time of year again....unfortunately yahoo doesnt offer a bowl pool so i went with the same site as last year (for those of you who did it)...simple concept....pick all the bowl games and the person with the most correct wins the pot (tie break is total pts in the national championship game)
$10 per pick sheet
picks must be in by december 20

I was just going to figure out the biggest winners/losers from the conference championship weekend. Boston College and Missouri are clearly big-time losers, missing out on the $17 million payouts.
Illinois and Kansas are obviously both winners. Michigan, also, roughly doubled their payout, as they were destined for the Champs Sports if Illinois didn't get the Rose Bowl invite.
I really wanted to see Illinois in the Cap One Bowl. Ron Zook vs the Gators would have been worth the price of admission.
Illinois going to a BCS Bowl while Florida is stuck in Orlando is a delicious case of irony, though.
the Rose Bowl farged up with this one...they had a chance to take Georgia and passed because of tradition. Illinois has no business being in a BCS bowl game while Missouri isn't in one
Florida should beat Michigan by at least 20. Ohio State will lose by double digits also.
It's not even funny how much better the SEC is than the Big Ten right now.
^^I'd love to disagree, but I don't. At all.^^
as usual the sec as a whole is much better than the big ten but imo the sec isnt as strong at the top as in most years...06 fla was far and away better than 07 fla and lsu
i think ohio state has a great chance to win
You're leaving out that 06 Ohio State was way better than 07 Ohio State though.
better qb last year...i think the team and particularly the defense are better or at least as good this year
either way 07 osu is far closer to 07 lsu than 06 osu was to 06 fla....06 florida was superior in every facet...i mean im a huge sec fan and i think me and you had the discussion last year before the game and i thought florida would destroy ohio st...but this year i dont see as big a gap bwtn the four teams...dont get me wrong the sec teams are better but not so much where mich and/or ohio st could win...shtein florida has lost three times....tho they have had injuries and if i was michigan id be worried about them getting a month off

Blame Missouri and West Virginia.
please explain West Virginia to me. i thought they were much deeper than just pat white. i know wannstedt called the defensice game of his life but 7 fricking points! at home!
Utah kicks off the meaningless bowl period by beating Navy 35-32
QuoteNevada had only sold 95 of its 6,000 allotted tickets at the beginning of the week, according to Keith Hackett, Nevada's associate athletics director. However, the Pack expect to have about 1,000 fans in Albuquerque, N.M., for today's game, Hackett said.
95, amazing
Don't underestimate the importance of a fan base "traveling well".
Florida Atlantic wins their first bowl game
Up to 34 players not traveling for Florida State, including Xavier Lee, Caz Piurowski, Dekoda Watson, Patrick Robinson and the 3 top DTs
so far the bowl games have been pretty entertaining. other than the New Mexico shutout of Nevada and last night's blowout by Texas i have been quite impressed.

A bunch of good games today.
Cal vs Air Force
Clemson vs Auburn
Kentucky vs FSU
Oregon vs USF
Air Force QB's knee got blown the farg out. Wow.
Yeah, that shtein looked nasty.
anyone watching this Fresno St./Georgia Tech game? Some great hits so far. 34 - 21 Fresno but GT just blocked a punt and are in great field position. Plus it's on the Blue Field at Boise. Feel like i'm on LSD when i look at that field.
You think Hawaii has a chance? In my bowl pick em I took Georgia with 26 confidence points. Not really sure how their defense matches up with the spread but SEC > WAC.
I won't speak on the Hawaii game until Don Ho chimes in.
of course everyone here is just going ape shtein over the game. Sugar Bowl shirts and signs everywhere. i went to the last four games of the year and i am the first to admit that the schedule was a joke. other than Boise St. and Fresno St. (had hopes about Nevada until that dismal performance in the New Mexico Bowl) Hawaii played no one worth a shtein - which we can thank the likes of dumbfarg Lloyd Carr, Michigan State and Purdue who all Hoydaed out as Hawaii offered home and away. I almost decked a friend of mine the other day who was just going of that Hawaii is one of the best teams in the country and they could beat anyone. Idiot. He wouldn't listen to my "they almost lost to the last place team in the Pac 10 (Washington)" argument.
Hawaii is going to have to keep this thing high scoring. I don't see the Hawaii defense stopping Georgia's running game and their speed. Boise and Washington did a fantastic job in the first quarter of their respective games of keeping the Hawaii offense off the field - Bosie QB Tharpe showed he is no Zabranski and UW showed why they were last in the Pac 10 with their second half rollover. If it turns into a shoot out, maybe, just maybe the Warriors can hang with Georgia. Keep in mind that Georgia has had over a month to prepare for this offense. I just hope Hawaii keeps it close and doesn't get blown out of New Orleans.
I do see Georgia winning but it will be closer than most are predicting:
Georgia 33
Hawaii 28
15,000+ Warrior fans are attending the game. Spending like drunken fools in The Big Easy.
If Hawaii wins, Mai Tais for all CF on Don Ho!
ha....Bowden was whining because his player got flagged for the Reggie-Bush-somersault-into-the-endzone move that everyone else is doing without getting penalized. Even without 36 players they almost beat Kentucky. Woodson will probably end up on the Ravens...
The real bowl games start today :yay
The Chick-Fil-A bowl game was excellent. And Bowden wasn't whining at all. He was farging pissed off and rightly so, Ed. That was a horseshtein call.
Arkansas got their ass kicked and McFadden was a non-factor. Ah well...he still has this igylicious Ford:

That...that...is terrible.
this Florida/Michigan game is off the hook
He just moved from top 5 pick to 2nd round status with that pick
Florida with a fake punt from their own 25, what a call

Only one of these teams won a bowl game this year. ha
whats amazing about florida is how good their high school football is....that they have enough talent to stock that many schools and all of them still be good
miami had their worst year "ever" and has the number one recruiting class in the nation
northwestern hs > northwestern
the rout is on in Pasadena

49-17 USC, but that wasn't surprising anyway
i retract my earlier prediction:
UGA 48
Hawaii 10
This should shut up all the Hawaii fans that thought this team belonged with the big boys.
think this is bad? UH opens at Florida in August. After that performance today Tebow and the boys are going to want to kick the shtein out of someone.
colt brennen looks like a farging kid just brought in from the intramural team.
that MLB Maualuga from USC is an animal. he was everywhere today.

Believe me... happy as hell with the outcome... but didn't see this one coming. AT ALL.
Crazy thing is... Michigan should have blown them out. 4 turnovers, including Mike Hart (who had over 1,000 touches w/o a fumble) fumbling twice at the goal line??
Makes it that much easier for Rodriguez to get players in from the start.

The Big Ten has been so brutal that I'm actually reduced to rooting for all conference teams in the bowl season in order to spur on a comeback.
So far...
Winners: Purdue (!), Penn State, Michigan
Losers: Michigan State, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois
Yet to Play: Ohio State. Go Buckeyes?
rooting for conferences or divisions is super gay
Stop hitting on me.
Quote from: ice grillin you on January 02, 2008, 10:39:02 AM

agreed. never root for a rival.
I tried and found it completely impossible to root for Florida yesterday. Michigan is hardly a rival of Penn State, considering they just put a "W" on their schedule with a Sharpie marker every time they play my beloved Nitts. Penn State can call it a rivalry when they finally win a game.
I might be able to pull off LSU. We'll see.
Quote from: ice grillin you on January 02, 2008, 10:39:02 AM

Word. I was just explaining this to a co-worker of mine. He's a Tennessee fan and says that come bowl time, you always want to root for the others in the conference to make the whole conference look better. That's bullshtein. Every single time Ohio State steps on the field, I want them to get absolutely mauled.
Come Jan 7th... Geaux Tigers!
to me its not even about rivals as much as it is throwing a blanket over an entire group of teams just because...i mean i also would never root for ohio state under any circumstances just because i despise them so much....
but other than those few teams that we all have that no matter what we root against
every year team and scenario is different
for example maybe ff hated florida a lot this year so he rooted for michigan...but if michigan plays alabama or arkansas in a bowl game next year hes still gonna automatically root for michigan
To be clear, I was completely unable to even think about rooting for Michigan under Lloyd Carr, even against Ohio State, unless their winning palpably helped the Nittany Lions.
That said, Lloyd "can I have two more seconds?" Carr is toast, and I really hate all the hype around Tim Tebow, so I found myself pulling for Michigan.
I really hope to again get to the point that I root against Michigan automatically, but like I said, Penn State has to actually win a game against them once in a while for it to even matter.
no one cares
its just stupid to automatically root a certain way in an individual game strictly because of a larger affiliation
Your face is stupid because of a larger affiliation!
Oklahoma should avoid the Fiesta Bowl
Holy shtein West Virginia smoked the Stoopses.
:-D
That's great.
Noel Devine is the shtein
that win only makes their pitt loss hurt more
Virginia Tech sucks at teh BCS games.
Was I the only one who expected that? In my bowl pickem league 73% picked Virginia Tech. Almost 3/4 for VaTech, why? Kansas is very good and VT's QBs are god awful.
But dude, VT was playing for their whole school and carrying the weight and the spirits of the school single handedly on their shoulders!
I watched the pre-game bullshtein and promptly turned the game off. I hate all of that forced inspirational crap.
