[Sirhornsalot]

COTTON BOWL – #2 Ohio State. Easy pick

ORANGE BOWL – #5 Oregon. I just don't like Tech at all.

ROSE BOWL – #1 Indiana. Most powerful team in the business.

SUGAR BOWL – #3 Georgia. Georgia being Georgia.

PINSTRIPE BOWL –Penn State Maybe the talent shines through.

POP-TARTS BOWL –#12 BYU

GATOR BOWL #19 Virginiia. Missouri's QB won't be playing.

TEXAS BOWL – #21 Houston. I have no faith in LSU and Lane has not been there long enough to matter.

NEW MEXICO BOWL – San Diego State

MILITARY BOWL – Pitt

 

[General Hooker]

COTTON BOWL – THE Ohio State

ORANGE BOWL – Texas Tech - Apparently you can purchase a team with NIL $

ROSE BOWL – Indiana (sounds like a joke or an upset special, but it's not.)

SUGAR BOWL – Ole Miss - upset special

PINSTRIPE BOWL – Clemson (but who cares?)

POP-TARTS BOWL – BYU (I won't watch)

GATOR BOWL Virginia (no one cares)

TEXAS BOWL – Houston (Go Cougar High!)

NEW MEXICO BOWL – North Texas (I almost went to college there, then came to my senses.)

MILITARY BOWL – Pitt (What the hell is the military bowl and why aren't military schools playing?)

You sound like a Texas fan from the Texas panhandle.

Wow, Alabama is getting their asses kicked by Indiana. With 12 minutes left in the 4th, IU is leading 31-3.

Now it’s 38-3 with 10 & a half minutes left in the game.

I wonderif an assistant told Cignetti:




Run it up coach. Leave no doubt!

IU looks incredible. How did they get here so quickly? Or have I been hiding under and SEC rock? Did they portal a bunch of players or recruit and coach?

Cignetti - recruit and coach. Some portal like Mendoza. But even Mendoza is coached. He personally reviews recruits as opposed to deferring to position coaches and recruiting analyst.

General Hooker and myself tied for first place this week with each of us having 4 misses. I literally forgot to have a tie breaker for this week so we're stuck in a tie.

Congrats to General Hooker and myself as the top pickers.

Tejasrulz had 5 misses and Sunkist had 9 misses.
