I went 69-18 on the season.  Here are my picks for the BCS bowl games and other games that are being played:

Poinsettia Bowl:
Navy vs. Utah- Utah-Navy is a decent team but Utah is a few points better..Correct

New Mexico Bowl:
New Mexico vs. Nevada- New Mexico- It will not be close... blow out.-Correct

New Orleans Bowl:
Florida Atlantic vs. Memphis-  Florida Atlantic- should be an ugly game.- Correct

PAPAJOHNS Bowl:
Cincy vs. Southerm Miss- Cincy- another ugly matchup.- Correct

Las Vegas Bowl:
Brigham Young vs. UCLA- UCLA- they have allot to prove and they will be ready to play.- Incorrect

Hawaii Bowl:
Boise State vs. East Carolina- East Carolina- They have a decent team and Boise stumbled to the finish of the season.- Correct

Holiay Bowl:
Arizona State vs. Texas- Arizona State- They are a good team.- Incorrect

Champs Bowl:
Boston College vs. Michigan State- Boston College- should be a decent game to watch.- Correct

Emerald Bowl:
Oregon State vs. Maryland- Oregon State- They are a decent team and Maryland will struggle.- Correct

Meinke Car Care Bowl:
Connecticut vs. Wake Forest- Wake Forest- they are both average teams.  Should be a close game.- Correct

Liberty Bowl:
Mississippi vs. UCF- UCF- They have one of the best RB's in college. No defense cost them and a bad day for the QB- Incorrect

Alamo Bowl:
Texas A & M vs. Penn State- Texas A & M- They are a solid team and will be out to prove they have a decent program in this game.- (ugly game).- Incorrect

Independence Bowl:
Colorado vs. Alabama- Alabama- Colorado is an improved program but will fall short in this game.  Two months ago Saban was a hero; now he will finish at 7-6.  Give him time bama..- Correct

Armed Forces Bowl:
Air Force vs. California- Cal- they had a shot for the title earlier in the year and now end up here.. should be an interesting game.- Correct

Humanitarian Bowl:
GT vs. Fresno State- Fresno State- They have a decent team and GT is still stumbling from a poor finish and a fired coach.- Correct

Texas Bowl:
Houston vs. TCU- TCU- Both teams are average and it will probally be a one touchdown or less finish.- Correct

Brut Sun Bowl:
South Florida vs. Oregon- Oregon- SF is over rated and a good Oregon team will blow them out and show how bad SF really is against real teams.- Correct

Insight Bowl:
Oklahoma State vs. Indiana- Oklahoma State- Could be a decent game to watch.- Correct

Music City Bowl:
Florida State vs, Kentucky- Kentucky- this is a team that should have beat LSU.  They have inconsistent games but the Noles have had an inconsistent season. Kentucky tried to lose even with FSU's lack of players. (ugly finish)- Correct

Chick-Fil-A Bowl:
Clemson vs. Auburn- Clemson- Clemson is an explosive 9-3 team and Auburn will be a good match up.  Should be a great game.  This should be one of the best non BCS games to watch.- Close and a great game- Incorrect

Outback Bowl:
Tenn. vs. Wisconsin- Tenn.- should be a good matchup.  It will depend on Ainge. Great way to finish his college career; Ainge.- Correct

Cotton Bowl:
Missouri vs. Arkansas- Missouri- They will need more than a RB to beat a mad team that was cheated out of a BCS bowl game.  Missouri will win big.  I know VT is glad they have KU.- Correct

Capital Bowl:
Florida vs. Michigan- Florida- sounds good on paper but the talented gators will roll over a team that cannot defend a spread offense.- Ugly defensive game.  Gators lacked passion and seemed tired against a team playing for a coach.  Last games are always full of passion.- Incorrect

Gator Bowl:
Virginia vs. Texas Tech- Virginia- should be a great matchup. Coin Flip- Virginia gave it away but Tech played well in the end; congrats!- Incorrect

Rose Bowl:
USC vs. Illinois- USC- Congrats to Zook for getting here but his team is no match for a healthy USC team.- No surprise and this shocked no one; should have been against UGA.- Correct

Sugar Bowl:
Georgia vs. Hawaii- Georgia-I guess it is true that you can play a soft schedule and win and still play in the BCS bowls.  It will be a true test for the QB who has amazing numbers against joke teams.  It will be a blow out! - No shock and Georgia ended all doubts of an upset early.  A total mismatch and should have never been played.  Hawaii should have played Illinois or West Virginia.  The Dawgs should have played USC.- Correct

Fiesta Bowl:
Oklahoma vs. West Virginai- Oklahoma- WV will come to play but Oklahoma's size will be too much for the WV team.  Slatons last game and the way the team was treated; this will be a coin flip.  It will be interesting and could be fun to watch.  We will know by the second quarter.  They will miss their coach but it does give them passion and a chip on their shoulder.  Losing to Pitt will either make them want to show they belong or destroy them mentally in this game.  Allot of questions on defense.-Great game for WV and they were ready for this game- Incorrect

Orange Bowl:
Kansas vs. VT- VT- This will be a close game until the 3rd quarter.  Missouri was cheated but in the BCS world life goes on; KU and VT could be a decent game.  VT is a better team and KU has only played two decent teams all year.  KU will keep it close but it could get ugly fast...If KU can build a lead early.. who knows?!- I knew it was a coin flip and VT looked bad on Defense.  KU played a solid game and at least showed they belong.  I hope they schedule a SEC team next year- Incorrect

BCS Natinal Championship:
LSU vs. Ohio Sate- LSU- Ohio State has looked bad at times (Illinois) and LSU has played inconsistent in a few games (Arkansas and Kentucky) but they were not healthy.  LSU might blow them out.  A healthy LSU team and a team that was embarassed last year; they have never beaten the SEC in bowl games (0-8); should make it interesting.- Correct

Healthy LSU team could mean the death of Ohio State (and Big Ten football as we know it)

Ya know, I'm a huge college fan, but I don't think I'm going to watch the Orange Bowl for the second straight year. I'm not one to boycott the BCS, but something's gotta be done if the Orange Bowl becomes unwatchable.

wow tex am over psu...hey its possible. great picks for the most part haha

December 5, 2007  08:29 PM ET

Good Blog and Interesting Picks as well.

December 6, 2007  02:35 PM ET

On the Penn St.-Texas A&M game... Statistically, PSU presents one of the toughtest defenses the Aggies have faced other than Oklahoma this year. I can't see the Aggies winning this one, unless they can make the passing game work.

Incidently, the Aggies have lost two players to the criminal justice system. The best thing the Aggies have going is a virtual home field advantage. It could be a very good game.

December 10, 2007  05:41 PM ET

PU is inconsistent. You are right they can play well and the Aggies will have to play their best game of the year. Should be interesting. Penn State has acted bored and lacked passion. It will be interesting to see which team shows up.

December 10, 2007  05:43 PM ET

Hawaii has Florida opening the season??!! I guess they have gotten tired of hearing about their joke schedule. I guess we can at least know they will not be undefeated next year. The Gators will roll all over them.

December 13, 2007  04:18 PM ET

Texas is overrated but should win ASU.KU is going to win VT.

December 14, 2007  12:29 PM ET

Arizona State is a solid team and played pretty consistent.. Texas should have lost to UCF; who has a weak defense but great RB. I was at that game...

KU is over rated and may be an improved team; they played two good teams all year. VT played a harder schedule and are not the team LSU beat up. VT is a solid team and the emotion that cost them a decent game against LSU will this time help them as they hammer KU.

December 14, 2007  07:13 PM ET

State will beat BC. GO GREEN!

December 17, 2007  11:55 AM ET

They would be fine with me... I think BC will win but gladly welcome the win if I am wrong.

December 19, 2007  10:43 AM ET

Florida State is out of control with 20 players being suspended for their bowl game and 3 games next year. Bobby has a great legacy but is completely out of touch with his team the last few years. Great guy but why stay and hurt all that you have done? Why not make him a AD and let him oversee the program. He's response to the issue was shocking..

December 21, 2007  12:07 PM ET

Who saw LSU beat Va Tech 48-7 and and Miss STate 45-0, and then Va Tech comes up # 3 in the BCS Final Standings and MSU goes bowling . That LSU team was healthy and that is why they were rated so highly. Try going against, Florida, Kentucky, Auburn, Alabama, and Arkansas all one behind the other. Even Ole Miss was playing good at the end of the year. Toward the end of the year, LSU was hurt especially on the Defense and Matt Flynn was injured most of the year and not at full speed.

The LSU Team that will play OSU will be more healthy than at anytime this year, so if they lose or look bad there will be no excuses. Judge them then.

dry0514:

Bowden is way past retirement and is killing the team since he is not very aware of what is going on. Unless they move to retire him and let Jimbo move forward, these things will keep happening. Anybody can see that FSU has been going down steadily for the past 5 years.

This is not the first time for him, as he has had a mulitude of issues such as stealing, fights, and now cheating. The guy was great in his younger years, but things have passed him by and there comes a time for everything.

December 22, 2007  01:58 PM ET

I agree

January 1, 2008  12:04 PM ET

I am 15-5 with 9 to go... It will be interesting and I know I have missed a few. Go SEC!

January 2, 2008  08:24 AM ET

Okay I am 19-7 with 3 to go...

January 2, 2008  08:25 AM ET

Guess Brennan had a chance to show if he could play with a solid team... I knew we were better but Hawaii look really bad. Go Dawgs! What a finish...

 
January 3, 2008  01:01 PM ET

I am 19-8 and 88 and 27 overall with two games to go...
