Cactus Bowl - Kansas State 35, UCLA 17

Most of the interesting stuff was off-the-field.  Rosen doesn't play.  Will Snyder retire (again)?

@McBrideMafia with the only perfect score.

Independence Bowl - Florida State 42, Southern Mississippi 13

Loophole-exploiting FSU keeps their bowl streak alive and gets a win.

@ScottyIce with the 5 point pick.

Pinstripe Bowl - Iowa 27, Boston College 20

Iowa gets the B1G off to a good start with a nice win on a slick track.

Lots of picks scored a bit 10 points.

No idea how Purdue stopped Arizona's offense but another great showing for the B1G.

Holy cow.  Navy with the run-away.

If you picked Navy, congrats, you scored 0.  If you picked Virginia, you went backwards 2.

Camping Wold Bowl - Oklahoma State 30, Virginia Tech 21

Mike Gundy - man with a mullet and an OC he found on the Internet.  It's his world.  The rest of us are just living in it.

@Comfortably Numbis the only one to pick up 5 points.

 

[Mavric]

Alamo Bowl - TCU 39, Stanford 37

Stanford apparently forgot to play the fourth quarter.

@RedNebraskan and @Mavric score 5.

Ha, even a broken watch is right twice a day. At this point I'll be happy if I end up with a non-negative score. I suck at this. Guess that's what I get for exerting virtually no thought and closely following the Vegas line.

The risk of  lesser bowl games...one team goes on Holiday and leaves their focus at home.
