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!
