With college football bowl season kicking off tonight, here are my predictions for all 32 bowl games. When I last did this two years ago, I missed more than I predicted correctly. We'll see how it goes this year. I'll update this thread with the official final scores of each game, as well as my won/loss record in picking the winning teams.
Disclaimers: First, I do not pretend to be any sort of college football expert, just an avid fan who has watched a number of games over the past season. I'm doing this for fun, no money is involved or wagered by me on the outcomes of these games. And Yours Truly and Rockpage are not responsible for any money, wages, beer, house, car or children lost on wagers based on my predictions. So with that in mind, let 'em rip:
