Well kids, we are moving through the Round 1 games at rapid pace and I hope you are faring better than me because holy hell I am terrible at this. As a refresher, Round 2 will be composed of every non BCS game that takes place starting 12/31, with each game being worth 2 points. The BCS games will be worth 3 points. The National Title game will be worth 5 points. As a tiebreaker please give your guess for the total number of points scored in the National Title Game. If somehow it is still tied here’s how I’ll decide a winner: Who picked more BCS games right, Who picked more Total games right, Whoever of the tied people says the nicest thing to me the day I add up the points. The points for Round 1 can be seen here. Go get em

Well, we’ve had our fun this year haven’t we? But it’s bowl time. That time of the year when there are way too many shitty games that shouldn’t exist, but we will watch all of them due to the impending desolate wasteland that is the college football void. I’m getting the shakes just thinking about it. Just like last year, business is about to pick up because, that’s right, PRIZES ON THE LINE! Now, the winner will get something guaranteed to blow their minds out of amazement* (*note this is not an actual guarantee and is probably a total lie). What is the prize you ask? I don’t know yet. It could be an all expenses paid trip to Tahiti. It could be a cheeto that kind of looks like a horse. It could be a sexy night out on the town with yours truly you lucky dogs. Prizes are TBD, but hey, you like free dont ya?
Anyway, last year I did this in three stages and it worked pretty well. The first round, the page you are currently reading, will cover all the bowls starting on Saturday 12/15 through Saturday 12/29. These games will be worth 1 point a piece, because most of these games are terrible. Round 2 will be all of the bowls that take place starting New Year’s Eve, Monday 12/31, that are not BCS bowls. These games, since they are “better” bowls, will be worth 2 points. Round 3 will obviously be the BCS games and the National Title game. The BCS games will be worth 3 points, the Title game will be 5. The tiebreaker will be your guess for the total points scored in the title game. Also, yes, lines will move, but only pick against the ones posted. If you make up your own lines your pick is wrong.
After the jump will be the first Round of games. I’ll put up the round 2 and 3 picks sometime after Christmas, along with a score update once all of the Round 1 games are completed. If you have been playing all year, THANKS! Please continue to enjoy the shenanigans. If you’ve just read along and thought eh, I missed weeks so I’m done. Now is a perfect time to jump in because it’s a clean slate, so fuck it, let’s go bowling kids.

That’s right kids, we’ve come to the end, your appropriate music is here of course. I will likely do a Bowlstravaganza like last year, and may even offer up a prize to the winner. Of course I’ll just try to win again so I don’t actually have to give something to you people. The scoreboard can be found at the bottom of this post, but let’s ride. Note the Pac 12 game is FRIDAY so get your picks in

Lots of opportunities for improvement or punishment with the big slate last week. Let’s see how it went post-jump since it’ll be longer than normal.

A happy Thanksgiving to all of you fine folks. I’ve never been as thankful for college football as I have this year for obvious reasons. In honor of the gluttony this day stands for, we’re going with a veritable cornucopia of games this weekend. While last week turned into a huge weekend, the slate sounded pretty below average. That is certainly not the case here. Away we go

Wake Forest @ #3 Notre Dame (-24)
Pick: ND
Result: 38-0 ND, WIN
Finally ND came out and just beat the hell out of a team. ND started strong with a beautiful 68 yard Cierre Wood TD on an option pitch and never looked back.
#13 Stanford @ #2 Oregon (-20.5)
Pick: Stanford
Result: 17-14 Stanford (OT), WIN
What a ballgame this was. Stanford’s D finally slowed down the Hyperspeed Ducks and Oregon was the latest team to fall thanks to College Kickers.
#12 Oklahoma (-11) @ West Virgina
Pick: OU
Result: 50-49 OU, LOSS
This game was craaaaaaaaaaaaazy. Sadly it was on at the same time as the Oregon and Kansas Sate games but it was just points on points on points. Tavon Austin did everything he could to give WFVU the win, but it was not enough.
#18 USC (-3.5) @ #17 UCLA
Pick: USC
Result: 38-28 UCLA, LOSS
This game started out looking like it would be a blowout, but USC put up a bit of a fight late. The big story was obviously Matt Barkley getting KTFOd by a beautiful blindside shot by Anthony Barr. Barr’s dad, ND’s own Tony Brooks.
#23 Texas Tech @ #24 Oklahoma State (-10)
Pick: Tech
Result: 59-21 OSU, LOSS
Just a blowout in this game. Totally botched this pick.

#4 Notre Dame (-19) @ Boston College
Pick: ND
Result: 21-6 ND, LOSS
Defensive dominance and enough offense to win. This was a pretty boring game, nothing really much to say about it. I’m still gonna pick ND to cover this week, but if you were wagering, you probably shouldn’t…
#15 Texas A&M @ #1 Alabama (-14)
Pick: A&M
Result: 29-24 A&M, WIN
Johnny Football is a GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. Seriously, this game was awesome and down goes #1. This game was awesome.
#2 Kansas St (-7.5) @ TCU
Pick: TCU
Result: 23-10 KSt, LOSS
This game was not fun however. KSt did enough to get the win in this one.
#21 Mississippi St @ #7 LSU (-15)
Pick: LSU
Result: 37-17 LSU, WIN
I know absolutely nothing about this game except that it happened and the final score was 37-17. Analysis
#11 Oregon St. @ #14 Stanford (-4)
Pick: Oregon St
Result: 27-23 Stanford, PUPUSH IT REAL GOOD

We are getting dangerously close to the end of the college football season kids. This makes me a sad panda. Let us go to this week’s slate.

Last weekend took many years off my life. Football will kill me one day, I’m convinced.
Pitt @ #3 Notre Dame (-17)
Pick: ND
Result: 29-26 ND, LOSS
This game was horrible. Just a pathetic effort until about 5 minutes left in regulation. Let’s now never talk about this game again.
#1 Alabama (-9) @ #5 LSU
Pick: LSU
Result: 21-17 Bama, WIN
This was a hell of a ballgame that LSU damn near won. This was far better than last year’s title game, that’s for sure.
#4 Oregon (-8.5) @ #17 USC
Pick: Oregon
Result: 62-51 Oregon, LOSS
The Trojans kept this game close with Marqise Lee again going off. I’m very much not looking forward to playing him. That said, wow is SC’s D bad, Oregon continued to just beast as they’ve done all year.
#24 Oklahoma St @ #2 Kansas St. (-9)
Pick: OSU
Result: 44-30 KSt, LOSS
I admittedly lost track of this game due to Bama-LSU and Oregon-USC. KSt is very, very good, but Okie State gave it a hell of an effort.
#16 Texas A&M (-7) @ #15 Mississippi St.
Pick: A&M
Result: 38-13 A&M, WIN
All Johnny Football everything.

Well kids, this is a week many have had circled since the schedules came out. Bama-LSU and USC-Oregon. Before the Trojans imploded people figured this would be a de facto semifinal for the year. It can certainly qualify as an eliminator showdown. Game on

My picks may not have been great, but I don’t care because life is amazing. Off we go:
#5 Notre Dame @ #8 Oklahoma (-12)
Pick: ND
Result: 30-13 ND, WIN
This was an amazing trip. The 1st drive had me terrified, then I realized Diaco and Kelly were geniuses and said yall are pretty good, we won’t let you beat us deep, try and get us in the red zone. It clearly did not work. On the flip side, Everett Golson played the best game of his career and continues to play better on the road than at home…maybe it’s the jumbotrons? Either way, the game was amazing and our D is awesome. On another note, I gotta say the OU fans were by far the nicest I’ve ever encountered at an away game. People went out of their way to welcome us before the game and congratulate after the game. Well played Soonerbros, much appreciated. Especially to good old Don who had an awesome tailgate and showed us a great time while we were there.
#11 Mississippi State @ #1 Alabama (-24)
Pick: MSU
Result: 38-7 Bama, LOSS
Why do I do stupid things like think Miss St can cover against Bama just because they hadn’t played anyone yet. I’m a dumb.
#2 Florida (-7) “@” #10 Georgia
World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville
Pick: Florida
Result: 17-9 Georgia, LOSS
Well, I didn’t see much of this, but it sounded like a sloppy turnover fest that the Dawgs got out in front of. Of course the minute I start trusting Florida being good they stop on me.
#14 Texas Tech @ #3 Kansas State (-7.5)
Pick: KSt
Result: 55-24 KSt, WIN
This team is super good yall. These last few weeks are going to be awesome and take off at least 8 years of my life.
Duke @ #12 Florida State (-27.5)
Pick: Duke
Result: 48-7 FSU, LOSS
Certainly Duke football is Duke, they’re on my TV more thannnnn Leave it Beaverrrr Rerunnns (sorry for the Rome reference).

Great slate of games this week and a huge one for yours truly. I will be heading to Norman to see a top 10 clash in person. Let’s get right to it.

Another week, another result recap. I’m out of witty intros. Vamanos.
BYU @ #5 Notre Dame (-14)
Pick: Notre Dame
Result: 17-14 ND, Loss
Well, I got exactly the game I expected. This was an ugly, defensive struggle between 2 solid defenses. But a win is a win, the trap was avoided, and ND is still undefeated. I’ll take it.
#7 South Carolina @ #2 Florida (-3)
Pick: Florida
Result: 44-11 UF, WIN
This game gave some absolutely bizarre stats. South Carolina only got 191 total yards in the game, that sounds about right. THEY OUTGAINED THE TEAM THAT PUT UP 44 BY 8 YARDS?!?!?!? Just insane. Turnovers will kill ya OBC.
#4 Kansas State @ #13 West Virginia (-3)
Pick: WFVU
Result: 55-14 KSt, LOSS
Oooooooooops. This was just absolute domination from the get go. Straight murder.
#6 LSU (-3.5) @ #18 Texas A&M
Pick: Texas A&M
Result: 24-19 LSU, LOSS
So close, but the Aggies just couldn’t help Aggying up everything. Turnovers gave this game back to LSU after the Aggies started strong.
#1 Alabama (-20.5) @ Tennessee
Pick: Bama
Result: 44-13 Bama, WIN
Nick Saban, roll tide.
