Bowl Preseason Wasn’t Pretty

Author GoneGator    Category College Football, Prognostication     Tags

The bowl “preseason” was not kind to me — I correctly picked the winner in only 3 of 8 games (though I am quite proud of my Notre Dame pick). The real games start today with both FSU and Miami trying to kick off their 2009 campaigns in style. I hope they do; I picked them both.

Uh oh … experts on Gators bandwagon

Author GoneGator    Category Prognostication     Tags ,

ESPN.com prognosticators are now predicting Florida and Penn State will meet in the BCS title game. Seems they expect Okie State or Oklahoma to take down No. 2 Texas Tech, and the Gators to take out No. 1 Alabama in the SEC title game. I’m in total agreement.
