Let's Go Bowling

Here's the rest of the picks for the...uh...third most wonderful time of the year? Let's see, March Madness, NFL's Divisional playoff weekend, and then college bowl season? That's about right, and that's amazing, because college bowl season is so, so wonderful. As usual, outside the BCS, there are plenty of bright spots (Champs Sports, Capital One, Sun Bowl) and many of those "Why?" games (Insight, International). Bowls are separated by days, and when games go final, green indicates a correct pick, and red tells you that I missed (sometimes badly)...
