2003-12-18  19:30  Louisville vs. Miami (OH)

I cannot find any reason to believe Louisville will compete.

[DarkMinion]

Agreed

2003-12-22  17:30  NC State vs. Kansas

*sigh*  I cannot find any reason to believe Kansas will compete.

NC State 49 - Kansas -7

[Havoc]

I dont keep up on College ball but is Connecticut in? I didnt see them on the list. Are they really that bad?

Haha.... Final score  NCState 56, Kansas 26.  Our predictions are safe for now.

Connecticut isn't too bad, but they weren't Bowl-eligible this season because it's their first as a Div. 1-A school. They'll be joining up with the Big East next season (they already play basketball there, but they spent this season as independant for fotoball) so if they're good enough next season, we should see them in a bowl game.

Connecticut is a basketball school, but they're getting their football program up.  Btw Grok nice going losing in basketball...dork

Nobody for a minute thought FSU had a good team.  10-0 means nothing when against weak competition.  Pittsburgh has more talent, better shooting, more depth, far better discipline (less stupid fouls), better coaching, more longevity, history, fans, arena...that about covers it.

Go Boise State.  Way to beat those overrated TCU clowns.

Damnit I forgot to post my pick.  I did tell you I was picking Boise State or not?

Maybe you should just post all your picks in one neat post instead of putting them up prior to each Bowl Game.

Can't do that so far in advance.  It doesn't make sense to me, because things change so drastically up to the game.  Like TCU suspending 5 players, and Boise State 6 players, right before the game!  The only player that mattered turned out to be Boise State's left OT, the QB's blind spot.  I didn't watch the game but I suspect TCU blitzed excessively last night or put a weak side rush on all night due to the missing starter there.

Hassell was apparently only sacked once, but he did only complete 50% of passes so I assume the pressure was there (didn't watch the game either).

[DarkMinion]

Shit...was going to remove Hazard's screwed up post and accidentally clicked on mine instead.  Reposted who I knew I picked up until now plus revisions to games that happen after this moment in time.
