2012 College Bowl Thread

[MDS]

i just dont see how you can call someone an "expert" when they never really see the teams they are voting on

like lets say i cover lsu. at what point am i supposed to watch the texas game or the ou game or the ohio state game or even the florida game and decide who is better. especially since my ballot is due on sunday morning. and its even worse for coaches because they are truly prisoners of their respective practice facilities during the season.

some guys (herby comes to mind) do have the time to sit there and watch all the games...visit different spots and talk to people...see a good cross section of teams. but a lot dont.

the system is very stupid. polls are fun but worthless. play the year, pick 4 teams that are clearly the best. playoff. winner. end.

Does Kirk Herbstreit have the best job in the country?

I say yes.

I don't think it means anything though (the NIU game).  It will for them, obviously, but FSU's balloon has been popped, just look at the GT game.  I see two things happening: FSU is motivated/shows up and blows NIU off the field, or FSU just wants the season to end (yes it's a BCS game, but they could have a hard time getting up for this) and NIU gives them a game.  I don't really care either way, but that's just me on a personal level.  I'd rather see two very very good teams go at it, and NIU being included takes away that in the Sugar Bowl.

New Mexico and Potato today.  Arizona's soph RB Ka'Deem Carey is worth watching, and Nevada has a mid-round strong safety in Duke Williams

still got 50 minutes....

Entry Fee: $20

How to play: Pick every Bowl's winner against the spread. The person with the most right picks at the end wins! If there is a tie, the tiebreaker will be the closest to the total points scored in the BCS Championship Game (#1 ND vs Alabama). If there is still a tie, the pot is split evenly.

This year I have finally smartened up and joined a site that tracks everything for me. Another change to keep in mind is that since you can pick on-line, you can now make your pick for each game all the way up until game time. I recommend picking all the games right away so you don't ever forget to pick a game. You can always change your pick later.
