Holy crap there are a lot of bowl games. And how can teams without winning records (Like Michigan State at 6-6) get into them?

Well you know I'm in. duchy it's all done by bowl and BSC selection committees-many of the early bowls are based on location and predicted gate revenue, other factors are so strange I can't figure them out...

I'm in but I'll wait for someone else to post their picks first.

We need to wait for the final selection on the 12th anyway...

6-6 teams get in because they keep adding bowl games and have to have someone to fill all the slots.

I'm sure my husband and at least one (if not both) of the kids will be in.

Part I - 1st half. Can't get it all to act right in one post so splitting it up.

I edited the post above and will repost that one change here as well...

-University of California, Los Angeles Bruins vs. Temple University Owls

I like what Endy has done, posting the first half for now.
If you all would do that, I think it would make it easier compiling the results for the different parts of the game.
First half entries accepted until kick-off of the New Mexico Bowl on 12/19.

Thanks!
