BCS Championship extravaganza

Ladies and gents, the day has finally come.  THE GAME OF THE CENTURY…. AGAIN!  Tonight, we will see perhaps one of the greatest teams we’ve seen in college football history in LSU, who is undefeated, won the toughest conference in the nation, and has the most impressive resume of anyone in the country after beating 8 ranked opponents this season.  We will also see Alabama, the team that proves that every week is not a playoff in the BCS, that only played 4 ranked opponents, that didn’t win this game the first time at home, the team that didn’t play in their conference championship (much less win it), and the greatest defense of all time that gave up 21 to FCS Georgia Southern.  In honor of this occasion, I am posting our BCS Championship rundown with everyone’s championship picks that I have so far, and more as they roll in tonight so stay tuned.  Currently we’re at 23 to 11 in favor of LSU from our panel of experts.

Bowl Season 2011-12: A few more

Here’s a couple more experts with a couple more picks for Bowl Season.  Tomorrow when bowl season starts, I’ll be able to see a lot more people’s picks on ESPN’s Bowl Mania page, but unfortunately those don’t go public until the games are live.  That’s too bad for all of you who wanted to see all of Scott Van Pelt’s picks so you could copy them on your own pick’em group, but I’ll be back to post the picks and track them nonetheless.  Happy bowl season.Clemson over WVU
