College Bowl Prediction Thread

[tcjsavannah]

That's the last time I trust the Southwest Conference for anything.

 

[Azale]

All I want for Christmas is...a halfway decent Bowl Game

37-7 TCU
38-8 BYU
24-7 USF
41-17 Troy
20-5 San Jose State

 

[emzie]

5 and 0. Go me.

 

[Tomoyo]

The TCU and BYU games were very nice to watch, and no one really cares that much about any of the bowls we're seeing for these few days anyway...

 

[Red Door]

3-2 so far.

 

[ummmm........]

Only Black Hole remains undefeated, but everyone's at least even at 3-3 . . .

And I actually thought all three of today's game were relatively entertaining. The first three did suck though . . .

 

[Azale]

Relatively entertaining? Besides Tulsa-Utah, all these games were basically decided by halftime!

Hawaii-ASU better be good.

 

[Tomoyo]

Relative to the first three, I'm guessing...

 

[ummmm........]

Yes but you didn't know they were decided by halftime. 'Relatively entertaining' means that if I'd been at home during them, I wouldn't've turned them off . . .

 

[ummmm........]

Everyone now has at least one loss, but the trouble is that half our entrants are at 6-1. So I'll wait 'til I get back from the Independence bowl to post standings; hopefully there'll be some separation by then . . .

EDIT: Kinda a bad start for the Pac-10, huh?

 

[RedFusion]

PAC-10 just had some unfavorable matchups. Arizona State had a true road game against Hawai'i, so it's not realy surprising they lost. Oregon also was the underdog going against the Mountain West Conference Champ (by-far the best Mid-Major Conference)

Though it'll be interesting thing to see if the Big East runs the table in their 5 bowls, all of which the BE team is favored in. Well, the remaining 4 at least since USF already took care of business.

 

[ummmm........]

I may not be going to the Independence bowl after all :/

If I don't then I'll update standings after the Emerald bowl tomorrow.

 

[ummmm........]

Okay, tonight's game is just too boring for words, so I'll go ahead and post some stats:

5-2: ummmm........ (87/111), RedFusion (87/118), MattBrown, theimmortal1, Darkness

Mountain West 3-1

[Red Door]

I suck .

 

[ummmm........]

Hey, you won last year, gotta spread it around . . .

I dunno, in the first half, LeFevour was pretty fun to watch...

Bowl games are a bad indicator of conference strength. Some conferences, like the Big East this year simply have a pretty easy run through the bowl season. In every game they are basically a good to heavy favorite.

 

[LLXerxes]

Hawaii-ASU better be good.

I wouldn't have counted on it. I watched the game, the first half was uneventful, and the second half was a blowout. It was basically a home game for Hawaii, who erupted (no pun intended) at every positive play for Hawaii. Brennan, after a mediocre first half, woke up and started pumping out touchdowns. I would have expected ASU to be more inspired, it was their coach's last game with the program.

I agree completely. I wish every bowl was an XvX matchup. But I'm still going to keep track . . .
