You used to be such a reasonable and cordial poster, Pale. What happened? Why so antagonistic?
Other than 16 TCU (a 10-2 team going to a bowl game) who Boise lost to by 1 point - Boise kicked butt on all their opponents by a WIDE WIDE margin, including Georgia by TWO FULL TOUCHDOWNS!
31) Oklahoma St.
- I saw where you picked Ohio State over Florida? I am very surprised by that pick! I just might have to change that pick then... I was just thinking since the game was in Florida it might give the Gators a slight advantage? I am glad to see that Fat Charlie is gone! Now Muschamp will have full control over his program and bring in the right kind of OC. The Gators will definitely make a come back in 2012.
- Come on make some Bowl Picks! If Hairy is back picks you can make picks to. You do have some skin in the game since Michigan State has a good match up with Georgia. That is a Bowl Game I am actually looking forward to. I really like Michigan States colors. We dont have enough teams that use green.

I will pick the National Championship, not because I think Alabama deserves a second shot, only because both teams are damn good and their presence in such a game is warranted. It was really a toss-up between Oklahoma St. and Alabama. To be honest, I sort of hope Alabama beats them the second time around.

I told the wife...one definitely needs football annnonymous if caught watching this titanic struggle.
- I see where you picked Bama like me? I went back and forth about this pick but have been listening to a lot of the National Sports Talk BCS analysts. I guess I am going to buy into the hype that Bama in a rematch will win? I am not totally confidant in that pick though. There are some rumors going around that a few LSU players might be academically ineligible to play in the NC.
Bronco was so disgusted with 60% of the bowl selections in 2011-12 that I almost sat this one out and took 83-72 as my final season score. At the last second I decided to pick. But I will boycott both the Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl. Those 4 teams dont deserve to be in such prestigious bowl games. Total bull.
12) Air Force
Good job - thanks for doing it here. Just printed 100 copies of my bowl pool - lets hope I get all 100 of the $10 entries sold! Id love a cool grand.....though with my spotty record this year - I doubt that Ill win.

Whats the logic behind these games? Is it like with rock concerts where you have to tolerate the ty local bands first before the Beatles take the stage?

Once again I am very sorry about Boise getting screwed out of a good bowl bid..I was looking forward to them matching up against a team like Oklahoma State..
Coach Chris Peterson from Boise reportedly turned down a $4M package from UCLA after they fired Neuheisel. Coach Peterson is no dummy. Hes still a relatively young man with a future. Why would he jump at the bait and get slimed?Its a real shame because their uniforms are cool and I love the Campus. I hear that its harder to get in there than it is USC.

I would boycott the MAACO bowl - but I gotta watch my Broncos in their last game with Kellen at the helm. They wont be the same team next year. No chance at a BCS berth. The Broncos backup QB doesnt hold a candle next to Kellen. Oh well. It was good while it lasted.I dont know why you are complaining about Arizona ST. They look like one of the toughest teams on yalls schedule this year.

Good luck to all who decide to pick.Michigan again is the most un-deserving BCS bowl team there is. And I am going to tell all of my Michigan friends that when I get up there this week. With Urban Meyer in the Big 10 (12) now, none of them are going to get a sniff anymore. Michigan State just lost a stud defensive lineman that changed his mind to Meyer this week. All that we and Michigan will now get are his throw-aways.

Good luck to all who decide to pick.
BamaBoy, no problem - I was actually inserting the teams into my bowl pool Excel worksheet - and I missed that you had the Pinstripe Bowl listed - I also thought you missed Chick-fil-A entirely - but then I saw the date typo!
THFI see the UCLA-ILLINOIS bowl game starts @ 3:30 EST on New Years Eve, Hairy. Thatll be a good excuse to start downing shots of Tequila. Hopefully by the end of the 4th quarter Ill be so ced that therell be no recollection of the game on New Years Day.

I am going to boycott and be a non-picker for the Sugar Bowl and for the Orange Bowl unless somebody can convince me why Clemson and West VA, both with 3 losses, deserve to be in one of the most important bowl games of the year.
