NCAA Football - Bowl Predictions

It's the most wonderful time of the year. And that means football every day for the next two weeks. The bowl season gets started tomorrow with four games. While only one team can walk away national champion (Florida State or Auburn), 35 teams can walk away a bowl champion and kick start their offseason. I finished 133-135 ATS during the regular season which is the equivalent of 6-6 team sneaking into a bowl. Consider my regular season picks to be on the same level as Syracuse's play on the field. But the bowl season can breathe brand new life into me. Here is a look at how I expect the bowl games to play out. (Rankings based on current Ringer Poll)
