College Football: It's Bowl Season!!!!! (Looking pretty good heading into the home stretch.)

After the horrible, no good, very bad day on Wednesday, Thursday looked a lot better.

I went 6-2 for the day missing (badly) on Virginia and by a couple of points on TCU. Still, I nailed the other two games and all of my over/under predictions were spot on.  That improves me to 29-21 (58%) for the bowl season and while it doesn't ensure a winning bowl season it gets me one step closer.

Yesterday saw a couple of themes continue:

1. The B1G continues to play winning bowl football. Michigan State's demolition of Washington State improves their conference record to 3-0 so far, with many games ahead that I consider winnable.

2. Oklahoma State saw two all-time greats for their program go out in style.  Mason Rudolph and James Washington Jr. own most of the school's passing related records and closed the show with a Touchdown pass from Rudolph to Washington that was fitting as a capper to both of their careers.

3. The Pac-12's down year continues.  Thank goodness for Utah.  And while I think USC has a very good chance to win I don't think that Washington does. This was a bad year for the conference but I think they have good things to look forward to.

Tonight starts the "New Year's Six" games with USC and Ohio State playing in the Cotton Bowl.  The "little" bowl games are behind us, bring on the big boys.
