College Bowl Picks.

It's that time of the year again! Where kids get that loved 2 weeks off of school. People make their lists, check it twice, and then shamelessly trample each other for the best prices at Wal-Mart. And we see the college bowl season begin.

Now, I'm noy much of a college football officianado, by my own admission; so, I came up with a couple ways to make my picks for this celebrated time of year. First, there were a few, maybe 3 games that I picked on my own. After that, I allowed my video games to play it out and determine the winners. After I ran out of time to do that, I told my wife the names of the teams playing the games, and she told me which team would win based off of the mascots.

So, you can take this to the bank if you wasnt, but I wouldn't...

BCS Championship
Texas vs. Alabama
This one I chose and I chose for a reason. I'm choosing Alabama. Texas has had a good season, but they struggled with Nebraska. While Nebraska is much better than they have been in the past, they are not something that sure national championship team should have trouble with. Alabama, in the SEC title game, dominated Florida, the team that everybody had pretty much given the whole thing to. Florida is much higher caliber type opponent than Nebraska. How is Texas going to be able to handle a much stronger Alabama team? I don't think that they will. I also kinda think that Alabama is going to win with relative ease. But that's why they play the game.

Hope you enjoyed my seriously scientific picks for the college football bowl season.

  2. Well, my scientific method of allowing the video games play things out, and asking my wife who she thought would win based off of mascot names would lead me to say, yes. Why not? :-)
