This thread would be a lot more interesting if it were:
"bowel projections"

YOu beat me to it you meanie.

Puts the term "thread-crapping" into an entirely new perspective...

Commenting on games I disagree with.

Okay, here's all the bowls, with increbily inaccurate preditions on the winner

GMAC at Mobile, Ala.
Memphis vs. Bowling Green
Memphis - whoever has the ball last, wins.

I like BG here.

PlainsCapital Fort Worth at Fort Worth, Texas
Cincinnati vs. Marshall
Cincinnati - neither team is all that good, but Cinci has come on late.

After seeing Marshall up close early in the season I think they'll take Cincy

MasterCard Alamo at San Antonio, Texas
Ohio State vs.Oklahoma State
Ohio State - This may be a highly biased pick.

Obviously I don't disagree with this one but had to comment. I am biased but watch for Ginn, Smith, Holmes and Nugent (The BUCKEYES elected MVP)!

Continental Tire at Charlotte, N.C.
Boston College vs. North Carolina
North Carolina - Usually a better basketball game.

I'd go with BC.

Outback at Tampa, Fla.
Georgia vs. Wisconsin
Wisconsin - Bulldogs are overrated.

Wisconsin is overrated. Did you watch their last two games?

Tostitos Fiesta at Tempe, Ariz.
Utah vs. Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh. Utah really should win. But Panthers have more to prove than Utes do, and won't have coaching issues.

I don't agree. Utah will win and they definitely have as much or more to prove being the first non-BCS conference team in the picture.

That was supposed to be a bit of irony; traditional basketball power L'ville will likely move into the Big East and win a conference title in football before they do in basketball. I should note that confernce titles mean less in basketball than they do in football, at least in major conferences.

Still, the current C-USA is a pretty good hoops league (though the post-2004/2005 season one is just a practicing ground for Memphis), but it's not the Really Big East. Of the sixteen teams -- Connecticut, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rutgers, St. John's, Seton Hall, Syracuse, Villanova, West Virginia, Cinci, L'ville, DePaul, Marquette, and South Florida -- only South Florida and maybe West Virginia can be counted on as free wins for a good team.

Oh, Conference title. Ok, gotcha. I haven't paid much attention to those - it's become almost a forgone conclusion that UK wins the SEC conference. Any year we don't it's considered an upset.

They're not USC, Cal, Ohio State, or Syracuse (the only teams I'll watch outside of random channel-flipping on a Saturday, or ESPN highlights), so no.

[Pitt over Utah]

I don't agree. Utah will win and they definitely have as much or more to prove being the first non-BCS conference team in the picture.

The talking heads haven't spent the entire season ragging on the Mountain West, and Pitt's not losing its head coach and at least one coordinator.

Lost to Michigan State 49-14 and Iowa 30-7, they got blown out in their last two games and blow a championship season. Also failed to keep Michigan out of the Rose Bowl which is their worst offense.
