I fancy myself a pundit. An expert. As a matter of fact, I always tend to finish high in the rankings of the Bowl Pick'ems, and have even scored an HDTV in the past for my play. When approaching your picks, don't go with the "football expert." Most of those fellas are NFL guys. Go with the "college football expert," and understand that there will be a big upset in the mix, and it generally comes down to picking that: Boise over Oklahoma in the Fiesta; Utah over Alabama in the Sugar; Kansas over Virginia Tech in the Orange--all from recent years. And when you choose the expert to go with, go with the experts who actually played football. When all else fails, go with Vegas...but you gotta have a big upset somewhere! You pickin' up what ManJr. is laying down?

It's time to go bowling. Outside of the NFL playoffs, it may be the greatest time of year--in fact it is the harbinger of the professional playoffs. It surrounds the Christmas and New Year holidays, and it even spurs annual debate by crowning an NCAA Champion without a playoff. Still, I don't care who the bowl sponsor is, or who's playing in it...I'll watch it and enjoy it. At first glance the match-ups look pretty uninteresting, yet after careful consideration, you'll quickly find that in the 2010-2011 mix, there is potential for some great football games.
