Since everyone else has one...

Here we go with the Bowls, I'm already expecting the worst...cuz everytime I post it turns to shat!

Really looked at 3 things closely in evaluating the Bowls: Strength of Schedule, Rushing advantage and pts allowed.

Its only money and I can't take it with me :sadwave:

Cal -8 (1*) they own the better SOS, they hold an 80 yd rushing advantage and give up 10 less pts a game....big whoop.....Cal looking to bounce back from last years embarrasing loss against Ttech, i think we'll see a focused Cal team step up to the plate and leave no doubt, that they are the better team in this game. BYU will get their yards and move the ball up and down but look for them to have problems putting up TD's.

Cal- 38 - 23

Thanks ajoytoy

For the later game:
I'm seeing quite a few folks on Navy or seeing it as a close game. It may very well happen but, I see CSU winning by double digits, I'll take the 2.5 anyway.

CSU +2.5 (1*)

Colorado St 29 - Navy 17

i'll chime in

i'll chime in

as i was happy to see your anticipated outcome of a score going over--as i think that might be the better piece. though initially i looked at game--and having backed BYu since seeing vs ND and sold on their QB beck--knowing they can throw to score think they get 20+ for sure on passing alone. then too, having seen limited action from Cal-mostly w/ayoob was impressed with what the FB now QB brought as far as controlling the game--not leaving a good Cal defense in hole constantly like ayoob did. Also sold on the tailback as i think hes real deal--all amounting in me thinking Cal minus the points is a wiinner here too--going over at the same time.

i'll hafta be on the other side of CSU game though--as running team vs poor run def doesnt sound like 10 point loss from this vantage--though GL2U--at least with the mutual Cal pick

I'm not playing CAL b/c I cant figure out why the line opened so low. IMO they shoulda been favored by 10+. Main reasons I like them are what you mentioned above, AND big game preparation. For bowl games, I often look back to the first game or two of the season where the team also had a looooooooooooong time to prepare. BYU responded by losing 20-3 to BC, while CAL got off to something like a 5-0 start.
