I haven't heard that it will, so I didn't really factor it into my pick of that game.

Interesting start to the Bowl season: Wyoming makes a 4th qtr comeback to tie their game with Fresno State and send it to OT. This is a good omen, imo...


Its just typical of these college bowls. You get one team who cares about even showing up (Wyoming), and another one that is going through the motions, (Fresno State), that can't wait until the season is over.

A nice 0-2 start to the bowl season is always good.

Especially if both have high point values...

You had a high and a mid drop yesterday, which will definitely make it tough, but I've seen worse starts turn into nice finishes in this game, so you just have to knock on wood for the other 32 games.

Oh yeah...and not just in the TDMMC group, but all 34 entries in the ESPN Top 50 group had the Bulldogs as well. Wyoming pulled off a shocker for sure. I just wish I hadn't rated that game so high on the confidence... Wink

It's been upset-mania early on, as 2 of the first 3 favorites have gone down.  I don't have any problems with upsets though...I just wish the upsets would wait until the games where I actually have the upset picked. Grin

You did have MTSU last night...bumped you up to 1-2 and tied for the group lead. Even Dave, at 0-3, is within a single game of the top early on.

MAACO Las Vegas Bowl tonight...Oregon State vs BYU. Only two of us have BYU in this one, Dave and me...everyone else is on Oregon State.

Game is on ESPN at 8 PM ET

I didn't know who to pick in the Vegas Bowl, so my confidence level was only a 3 on the Oregon State pick.  Should be a close game.

Poinsettia (its a flower) Bowl tonight... Utah vs Cal. Another Mountain West vs Pac-10 battle like last night, and again I went against my heart and picked the Pac-10 to lose. I did go low confidence (5) on it, showing that I fully expect this could go either way. No Jahvid Best for Cal was ultimately the reason I went with Utah. Group is split down the middle...or as close to the middle as you can get with 7 players (4-3), with confidence ratings between 5 and 33.

A few players who could be drafted into the NFL in April from this game:

Utah OLB Stevenson Sylvester (3rd round area) (does he have two first names or two last names? Hard to tell)
Cal CB Syd'Quan Thompson (4th round area)
Cal DT Tyson Alualu (4th rd area)
Utah OT Zane Beadles (4th-5th rd area)
Cal OT Mike Tepper (4th-5th round area)
Cal WR Verran Tucker (late round)
Utah DE Koa Misi (late round)
Utah FS Robert Johnson (late round)

I really thought OSU would have a better showing last night after coming so close to winning the Pac 10

LMFAO! Gotta love college bowl season. Nevada is shitting the bed as a 12-13 pt favorite, down 17-0 in the first quarter.
