WELCOME TO BOWL PICK'EM! This year I am again including the FCS Bowl - SWAC vs MEAC champions face off in the Celebration Bowl, so we have 40 Bowls plus a Championship Game, and all 41 games are on the board.
Picks for the 40 Bowls and the Tiebreaker must be made before the first bowl kickoff - 10:00am on Saturday 16 December. The worksheet and this thread will be locked at about 10:15am. After the Sugar Bowl, the Championship Game participants are decided, the thread and worksheet will be unlocked for choosing the championship game.

GOOD LUCK, and HAVE FUN!
