December 31st Bowl Previews

Could this be A.J. Green's (8) last game with the Bulldogs?

Hey there guys,

What a day of bowl games yesterday huh?

SMU outgains Army by nearly 200 yards, and still loses 16-14, Syracuse gets the help of a "unsportsmanlike conduct" call to make K State have to attempt a 2-pt conversion from 18 yards away instead of 3 as the Orange hold on to win 36-34, North Carolina and Tennessee played a wild one that went to two overtimes before the Heels finally won 30-27, and Washington upset Nebraska 19-7.

Crazy.

Well today is going to be like yesterday where I am going to be racing to get everything done, because it just so happens that I am at work. The only one at the Huntsville Times that is at work today.  Fan-freakin-tastic. 

Anyway, I'll post the writeups first then my projections as I finish them.

December 30th Bowl Picks



Tauren Poole will look to help Derek Dooley get a Bowl win in his first season with the Vols

 Hey there guys,

Just a reminder but I am at work right now (shhhh), and pretty much will be until my return voyage to Oxford, MS

So I am doing the best I can to put up a decent preview with limited numbers, and what I know about each team.

The Bowl Standings have been updated, so check them out if you want to see how well you are doing, and just how bad I am doing.  Go ahead, rub it in.

Anyway, I was called into work early today, so I'm going to try to get these up as soon as I possibly can.
And will post updates as I put the other previews up.

*12:20pm The New Era Pinstripe Bowl preview is now up
*1:22pm I have the write up, and my pick for the remaining two bowl games, calculation numbers will be up shortly
*3:36pm I have added the numbers to the Music City Bowl and the Holiday Bowl.  While working.  Yup, i'm awesome.

December 29th Bowl Picks

RG3 looks to lead Baylor to it's first bowl win in...well it's been awhile

Hey there guys,

I apologize for having not posted any previews recently, but I've been working all the time, and have been spending some holiday time with the family.

I'm not going to post any big previews, with the exception of SEC bowls, and the BCS Bowls, so most of this is going to come straight from my calculation and general stuff that I can recite off the top of my head, so hopefully I sound coherent, and make some kind of sense. I'm writing most of this on my breaks at work so if I have any mistakes just let me know and i'll try and fix them.

Anyway here are my short previews for today's games.

Saturday December 18th Bowl Games

Robbie Rouse looks to carry Fresno State to a win in the Humanitarian Bowl

Hey there guys,

It's that most wonderful time of the year! Bowl Season!

While the games to open up the bowl season are not exactly what you would call "sexy" they are still some great match ups.

Along with my picks I will post my offensive and defensive power rankings and their match-ups in the bowl games, along with who the Bowl Pick 'em contestants think will win.

Anyway guys without further ado, here are my bowl picks!
