2016-17 #CFBPlayoff Championship pick big board megapost! #BowlMania #Bama #Clemson

Posted on January 6, 2017 by gamedaycole

Well we’ve got one game left in this season, and I have to wonder where the season went. Seems like yesterday we were kicking off the season knowing this would be Tennessee’s year (again), or Leonard Fournette’s Heisman to lose (again), and it was surely [insert your team]’s year to make a big splash. But many months later we sit here and look at this remaining game on the schedule and see a rematch from last year. No complaints from me with this matchup of course, so let’s get on with it. It is time for our annual championship big board megapost, and we will be updating all the way through kickoff on Monday night so check back for the latest!

Our experts are currently sitting at 25-20 in favor of Alabama over Clemson straight up. For gamblers, we are at 3-2 in favor of Alabama laying the points. 2 experts are on the under.

2014-15 Bowl Season: Results are in! #cfbplayoff #cfbchampionship #bowlmania

Posted on January 16, 2015 by gamedaycole

The 2014-15 Bowl season has come to an end, which I guess means the actual season has come to an end, but let’s focus on bowl season for now. As you know, the majority of pickers went with the 6-point-underdog Buckeyes to beat Oregon, but how about the rest of the games? We will start off by crowning the 2014-15 Bowl Season champion. Coming in with a record of 25-14 is 2012-13 Bowl Season champion, and 2013-14 Bowl Season co-champion, Robert Smith. That is three years in a row winning or splitting the bowl season championship, so we are certainly impressed. Here he is at our awards ceremony claiming his award!
