Request: Bowl Picks Data Dump
The time has come where many of us will be making our bowl picks for various office/family/friend competitions. Occasionally Seth and others on this site have posted some very helpful data-driven content to assist the rest of us in making informed decisions on said picks (e.g. here).
If it's not already being worked on, I'd like to request that mgoblog post a table of predicted outcomes for each bowl game per the relevant resources out there (e.g. S&P, FEI, etc.). Inclusion of Vegas point spreads would be nice too, though I think we all unerstand those are not necessarily meant to be predictive.
Many thanks as always. Go Blue!

Working on something similar using S&P+ only for betting purposes. I will try to post it in a bit.

I was probably going to put something together with Massey and Sagarin numbers for the bowl games in the next week or so, as I always find what those two say about some of these matchups to be interesting. A unified table / spreadsheet might be an even better idea though, even if it is a pain to put together.

That would be AWESOME! I will wait to fill out my pool until I see what you put together.
Thanks!

I thought this thread was going to be about some garbage bowl game picking a literal data dump.
