Looking for Gambling Advice? Steer Clear of E

Congratulations to E for picking the fewest FBS Bowl Games correctly. E finished with 18 of 32 (56.25%) correct, finishing dead last in the 2007-2008 Sports Fountainhead Bowl Predictions contest. If you do find gambling fun, make sure to contact JRAFF. Many of you probably haven't read any of his stuff. None of it has been posted here yet. He made a few posts on the old site back in June and July but has been MIA ever since we moved to Blogger. Well I tracked him down for his Bowl picks. Bad idea for the rest of the writers. Justin went 22 of 32 (68.75%) without the help of HGH. Yes, of course we test the writers! In all seriousness, the results are pretty level. All bloggers selected between 18 and 22 of the Bowl games correctly. I was hoping we would be closer to 25 or 26. I guess we are not as smart as we thought. Results and silly awards below.

Results
CHAMPION: JRAFF (Justin Raffauf) - 22 of 32
RUNNER UP: TAS (Tom Sabbatelli) - 20 of 32 (tie)
RUNNER UP: J MAYS (Joseph Mays) - 20 of 32 (tie)
4th Place: STEELY MCDONATI (Jonathan Donati) - 19 of 32
5th Place: E (Eric Wertz) - 18 of 32


Awards
I TOLD YOU SO: JRAFF is the only blogger to predict Michigan would beat Florida and Oregon would defeat USF; Steely McDonati correctly predicted Utah over Navy; and TAS went out on a limb and took Sylvester Croom's Mississippi State team to stop UCF.
NEVER BET AGAINST THE TEAM THE BOWL WAS CREATED FOR: TAS selects Nevada to beat New Mexico in the New Mexico Bowl.
WE TOLD YOU SO: The bloggers all selected Cincinnati, Penn State, Kentucky, Missouri, USC, Rutgers, and Tulsa to win. And they did.
THE CURSE OF THE HAWAII BOWL: None of the bloggers predicted the ECU Pirates would beat Ye Broncos of the Blue Turf.
DAMN MOUNTAINEERS: Ditto for West Virginia.
CONFERENCE ALLEGIANCES SCREW YOUR PICKS: J Mays and E take Ohio State over LSU.
