Congrats, Skunky, on being the only one who picked Tulsa over Hawaii.
This is how surprising the Hawaii loss was: on the Monday before the bowls started, ESPN had a 2.5 hour bowl prediction show. The three announcers not only picked who they thought would win each game, but picked a unique confidence level in the range 35 to 1 for each pick, 35 meaning 100% sure that the picked team would win, and 1 meaning 0% sure that the picked team. Hawaii got the 35 confidence level. OOPS!
BTW Air Force got picked over Georgia Tech with a 1 confidence level.

Didn't help Ha'waii last night.

Yeah, we need to get lucky tonight. According to the NCAA website Georgia Tech has 7 players out for the first half (3 curfew, 4 grades). The curfew violators get to play during the second half. Two of the players disqualified for academic reasons, Edwards and Hill, are starters. The QB Nesbitt is doubtful. At the time we made our picks, it was thought that Nesbitt would be well enough to play. Looks like he still hasn't recovered from surgery for a broken arm. 
Go Anthony Allen!

I have really sucked in this bowl picks so far, and I'm furious with Toledo for throwing the game away last night, they get a TD to go ahead and then kick off a short kick and let the guy get back to the 42 and they motor down field and win with a field goal. I will be lucky to get even 15 correct out of the 33 the way things are going.

Right now I'm tied for 147th place for bowls on ESPN. That means only 146 people have gotten all games correct so far out of about 250,000 people playing.
I changed my pick on ESPN from GT to Air Force this AM.

What the heck is wrong with that guy on Ga. Tech that he has such butterfingers to go and fumble on trying to field a punt, not once, but twice in a row, and this time it is deep in their own territory. He needs to sit the rest of the game on the bench. They are trying their hardest to throw this game away to Air Force, and will end up succeeding in doing so.
