Welcome back to PART TWO of the least useful information you'll gain this year:
BLUE's 2011 BOWL PREVIEW
A quick update on how my picks are doing so far: Terrible. But you say, Oh! look Blue, you picked 11 of 18 correct. And Oh look! your Bowl Mania picks are in the top 12%. And yes, you would be correct, that's true. But by those metrics, we should be saluting CJ who has picked 15/18 correct, including the last 14 in a row. A great feat by your simple metrics. But then you realize CJ has simply read the Vegas odds for every game and picked the favorite in each, a feat easily accomplished by a computer or partially trained monkey. Suddenly your simple metrics seem quaint.
I say 'Terrible' because everything I love has lost: Western Michigan, Charlie Strong, Our Military. And everything I hate has won: The state of Ohio (TWICE!), Missouri, people from New Jersey, The Moles, Mormons.

Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio, (10) Wisconsin vs. (5) Oregon =-- THE PICK: OREGON

BBVA Compass Bowl, SMU vs. Pittsburgh -- THE PICK: PITT

Allstate BCS National Championship Game, (1) LSU vs. (2) Alabama -- THE PICK: LSU
-- Hello God, if you care at all about who wins football games (a premise I questioned, until Tebow convinced me otherwise) Please don't let Nick Saban win this game. He's not cool. and Its not like you'll have to see him in the afterlife anyway. We'd all be much happier with LSU winning. Ok, that's all. How was your birthday, good?... How old are you now? ...2012 years old?! noooo, you don't look a day over 2000. Oh, and thanks for the Ipad. How'd you know?... Oh, right, omnipotence.
