College Bowl Pickem 2k2

[tasty]

Since my friend and I do a paper (and gambling) version of this every year, I thought I'd try to run a pool thru the DAMN msg boards. No money involved, purely for pride and ownership. The bowl games are listed in the post below, so just quote my post and delete all the info excepting the teams you are choosing to win each game. Another way to make your pics would be to designate a color and hilite the teams you are picking to win in this color.(This is the reason for my double post, to make it easier for people to just quote and make their picks).

If you want to see an html version of the list, go to http://espn.go.com/ncf/s/2002-03_bowls.html

Please only pick once, and if you want to talk college football please do it in another thread. Following these rules will make the entries much easier for me to score, as I will not have to wade through a bunch of non-entry posts. Also, make sure you enter before Dec 17, because that's when the first game is and no more entries will be accepted after that date, unless you don't mind having the already completed games counted as wrong answers.

Otherwise, have fun and good luck!

I'll make my predictions in a week or two...I want to see injury updates, etc. before I can select teams.

Yeah I'm reserving the right to change those for a gametime decision
