hmmmmm, Boise in December or Toronto in January?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Please post payout information for all the bowls.  Thanks.

EDIT:  I found this Wikipedia page that has last year's info.

[MDS]

$17 million? farging christ.

[ice grillin you]

that time of year again....unfortunately yahoo doesnt offer a bowl pool so i went with the same site as last year (for those of you who did it)...simple concept....pick all the bowl games and the person with the most correct wins the pot (tie break is total pts in the national championship game)

$10 per pick sheet

picks must be in by december 20

Boston College having to play in the Chumps Sports Bowl is hilarious.  I might go just to make fun of Boston fans.

I was just going to figure out the biggest winners/losers from the conference championship weekend.  Boston College and Missouri are clearly big-time losers, missing out on the $17 million payouts.

Illinois and Kansas are obviously both winners.  Michigan, also, roughly doubled their payout, as they were destined for the Champs Sports if Illinois didn't get the Rose Bowl invite.

[Rome]

I really wanted to see Illinois in the Cap One Bowl.  Ron Zook vs the Gators would have been worth the price of admission.

Illinois going to a BCS Bowl while Florida is stuck in Orlando is a delicious case of irony, though.

[SunMo]

the Rose Bowl farged up with this one...they had a chance to take Georgia and passed because of tradition.  Illinois has no business being in a BCS bowl game while Missouri isn't in one

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Florida should beat Michigan by at least 20.  Ohio State will lose by double digits also.


It's not even funny how much better the SEC is than the Big Ten right now.

[Feva]

^^I'd love to disagree, but I don't.  At all.^^

[ice grillin you]

as usual the sec as a whole is much better than the big ten but imo the sec isnt as strong at the top as in most years...06 fla was far and away better than 07 fla and lsu

i think ohio state has a great chance to win

[Feva]

You're leaving out that 06 Ohio State was way better than 07 Ohio State though.

[ice grillin you]

better qb last year...i think the team and particularly the defense are better or at least as good this year

either way 07 osu is far closer to 07 lsu than 06 osu was to 06 fla....06 florida was superior in every facet...i mean im a huge sec fan and i think me and you had the discussion last year before the game and i thought florida would destroy ohio st...but this year i dont see as big a gap bwtn the four teams...dont get me wrong the sec teams are better but not so much where mich and/or ohio st could win...shtein florida has lost three times....tho they have had injuries and if i was michigan id be worried about them getting a month off

that would have been sweet!  Zook vs. Florida would have been awesome.
