The 2018-19 college football season is in the books. Here are the bowl grades to tie you over until we determine our yearly champion. Obviously not everyone qualifies for our made-up bowl competition, so our panel of scientists has made the following determinations.
Our 2018-19 bowl season will award a straight-up champion and a gambling champion since it is hard to separate the two. Our straight-up picking champion for this bowl season is actually a tie. @GamedayJen and Mark Schlabach both went 26-15 on the bowl picks this year and topped all of our experts who picked a full slate of games. Our ATS gambling champion is going to be Dusty Dvoracek at 9-3 ATS. Nobody picked the full slate of games ATS, but nobody really had a good bowl season picking ATS, so he wins.
Congratulations to all of our competitors this year.
