Since the NCAA has decided, in their infinite wisdom, to add a "National Championship Game" and three worthless contests featuring dumb sponsors and mediocre teams to the already-crowded bowl schedule, I now get to brag that TB4p's Fifth Annual Confidence College Bowl Pick'em is BIGGER THAN EVER!!! Woohoo!!
That's right, I'm back, emceeing the festivities once again. There are now thirty-two bowls on the list. Your job is to predict the winner of each one, and assign each a confidence rating by selecting a distinct number from 1 to 32. Your team wins, you get the points. Your team loses, you get mocked mercilessly. (If you're still confused, my next post will have my picks, so you can use them as a guide. Or, perhaps more appropriately, to line your birdcage.)
Use each number from 1-32 only once. Again, use each number only once. I cannot stress enough how important this is. All picks must be submitted by the kickoff of the first bowl, the San Diego County Oh Who Gives A Shit About The Rest Of It Poinsettia Bowl, which is Tuesday, December 19 at 8 pm ET. The maximum score is now 532 (it used to be 406).
Also, discussion about the BCS, specifically about which body parts belonging to which animals it sucks, is condoned ("yak balls," in my opinion). Side bets are also encouraged, especially ones where the payoff involves showing boobies.
Now then, the bowls, in chronological order. As tradition, I don't use the sponsors' names if I can help it, on account of how fuckin' dumb they are:
Tuesday, December 19
Poinsettia: TCU vs. Northern Illinois
Thursday, December 21
Las Vegas: BYU vs. Oregon
Friday, December 22
New Orleans: Rice vs. Troy
Saturday, December 23
Papa John's: South Florida vs. East Carolina
New Mexico: New Mexico vs. San Jose State
Armed Forces: Tulsa vs. Utah
Sunday, December 24
Hawaii: Arizona State vs. Hawaii
Tuesday, December 26
Motor City: Middle Tennessee State vs. Central Michigan
Wednesday, December 27
Emerald: Florida State vs. UCLA

Monday, January 1
Outback: Tennessee vs. Penn State
Cotton: Auburn vs. Nebraska
Gator: West Virginia vs. Georgia Tech
Capital One: Arkansas vs. Wisconsin
Rose: USC vs. Michigan
Fiesta: Boise State vs. Oklahoma
Tuesday, January 2

Sugar: Notre Dame vs. LSU
Saturday, January 6
International: Cincinnati vs. Western Michigan
Sunday, January 7
GMAC: Ohio vs. Southern Miss
Monday, January 8
BCS Championship Game: Florida vs. Ohio State
Once more: use each number once, only once, exactly once. Good luck and good hunting.
