Right now I'll list who I think is going to win them all. Honestly I love bowl games but they're too many of them. 6-6 teams are going to bowl games, many fans don't show up for them, and I think we have come to a point where we are rewarding mediocrity in this country. In fact there are so many that there are not enough teams above .500 or at .500 to fill them and there had to be 3 teams that finished 5-7 this year to fill them. That's sad kind of like a pitty bowl bid. If you don't have a winning record you shouldn't go in my opinion. But it's College Football and the Holiday Season and during my time with Family & Friends I'll try to watch as much College Football as I can since after that we will have to wait almost 8 months for a new season.
So without further ado here are the Bowl Game Predictions and winners starting from the earliest right down to the College Football Playoff
