~~THIS YEAR'S WINNER~~
2015-16: Paul McCartney15

PAST WINNERS
2011-12: AgentP
2012-13: SkittleMonster
2013-14: AgentP
2014-15: GoTwins24

With the CFP and the college bowl games starting soon, I figured we should do the 5th edition of our annual Bowl Picks contest. GoTwins broke up the streak of Agent and Skittle winning last year, being the only user to pick Ohio State for the championship.

When all the bowl matchups are announced, I will post them in the order of when they will be played.

Just like last year, we'll treat the CFP bowls like regular bowls, but people have to edit their choices in once the match-up is set. How well you pick the games (along with the traditional BCS Bowls, so Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Peach Bowl, and National Championship (we'll discuss this later)) will break any ties in the standings.

If you would like to sign up, state so in the thread, and don't forget to get your picks in! Good luck!

OTHER RULES:
-When bowl games are posted, you will have until the first bowl game kicks off (December 19) to get ALL of your picks in.
-You will be able to change picks once per bowl game.
-If you enter your picks after the first bowl game on December 19th, you can participate, but will not be eligible to win.
-Ties are broken using Traditional BCS+CFP bowl pick record.

THIS YEAR'S PARTICIPANTS:

Tdud123
Paul McCartney15
LetsGoMets77
Rakumen
AgentP
GoTwins24

You're good. Even after the bowls are posted, entries will be accepted until the kickoff of the first bowl game.
