Hustle Belt's Bowl Expertise

by geeves on Dec 16, 2010 9:35 PM CST

As in, if you think we actually have any, put down the paste and go wash your hands. Our site is in on the SBNation melee in Yahoo! Sports' College Bowl Pick'Em, and we're going to do this proper. Leave your picks and your confidence points in the comments (abbreviate teams please, like OKLA 32, for instance), and we'll use the aggregate to create the official Hustle Belt entry (appropriately titled the Compensation Picks, I think.)

This post was submitted by one of our esteemed readers and does not necessarily reflect the opinions or thoughts of Hustle Belt.

Starting point

I thought others would be making some picks as well. We each pick a few and put them together for the entry…right? Sure I could post all my picks but was not sure that was how it was done..

well

the picks have to be in by lunch tomorrow, and nobody else seems too gung ho…whatever floats your boat, sir.

so then

how do we settle our tiebreakers? two types – for one, i am more confident than you in oklahoma and less confident in michigan, and on the other hand am not even picking ohio state to win, let alone that confidently

well

Ohio st is like 5-2 , 5-3 in bcs bowls – I also took into account the recent pt spreads for each game,,,I think mich has a real shot esp with the off. against a suspect miss st off. – anyway post urs and take the avg. maybe???? I do like Okla – virtual lock so put them in the 30’s if u wish…

ohio state

may be 5 and whatever in BCS bowls, but they’re 0-9 against the SEC and the last four (since 2000) have been by an average score of 34-18. Given the number of SEC opponents, the Big Ten will be lucky to win ANY bowl games this year (which hurts to say as a Penn State native son)

so....

I saw that on Ohio st as well, so how we doingso far (2-1,with what i posted)…huge win for the program for NIU

and

for comparison (because, honestly, you have too many strange picks – there is NO WAY i’m picking michigan, washington, or kentucky to even win, let alone 30-some confidence points)

with your picks, we would be 2-1 with 9 points (7 for Troy, 2 for BYU)

with m picks instead, we are 3-0 with 40 points (32 for BYU, 7 for NIU, and 1 for Troy)
