Just thought I would start this up for anyone on this blog who is interested. Even though Michigan won't be in it this year, most of the bowls should be fun to watch.

Pre-Hawaii Bowl Update:
No one is perfect. Two contestants are currently 5 for 6 ("Playoffs are a bad idea." and "SI_Grad's Picks"), both missing on the BYU/Arizona game. "Playoffs are a bad idea." currently leads with a score of 82. "SI_Grad's Picks"... uh, picks... places them at 14th overall (lower confidence points).
Nine contestants still have a maximum possible score within 15 points of perfect (their incorrect picks were the lowest confidence picks), with the leader being "Threet's Jukes" at 588 maximum possible score.
Ten entries did not submit ballots yet, but it is never too late. It appears Juiceman waited until yesterday to fill out his bracket. He is currently 0 for 1, missing the Boise loss to TCU, a score only 10 were wise enough to choose.

Congrats, every single one of us chose Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl. That was our only unanimous choice thus bowl season.
StevieY19 holds the lead in correct winners with 20 picks out of 27. SI_Grad's Picks and Threet's Jukes both have 19. Your mean correct pick is a 14.6 out of 27. The average # of points per picker is around 240. The median is 247. (this leaves out the 10 or so who signed up but didn't make picks)
