Bowl Game Bonanza - Oledon Stupid Underdog Picks, 2020

[Darrell KSR]

Pretty simple-- rules will be the same as the regular season, but instead of picking just one stupid underdog picks, you will choose three (3) underdogs. Add up all of your correct selections, and there is your total.

First bowl game is tomorrow night, but you don't have to get your picks in before that game. Instead, make sure your game has not started and you can select it, but let's say that all of the picks have to be completed by December 31, 11:59 PM ET. We will close the picks out in 2020 so we can start fresh with new games in 2021.

So, in summary: choose three (3) underdogs between now and December 31, 11:59 PM ET, but make sure that if you choose a game it is before it started.

I’d like to change one of my picks Darrell and didn’t want to edit my entry...please remove Cincinnati and replace them with Colorado, thanks.

I don’t really think Colorado has much of a shot at beating Texas but Cincinnati’s AAC is 1-3 in bowl games so far. They also played 7 of their 9 games at home this year and it’s been bugging me lol.

Is it too late to replace Ohio St with Army? I didn't edit my pick.

[Darrell KSR]

Plus anybody supporting our military academy, you'd get a break anyway!

I don't think anyone played the Iowa v Missouri game, but it is looking doubtful the game will be played.

[BigBluePappy]

Oh, I did.
I would like to swap that for the Black Knights of Army.

[Darrell KSR]

You're good with Army.

[Darrell KSR]

Music City Bowl was canceled completely. No Iowa vs Missouri or anybody else.

[catmanjack]

Arkansas vs TCU cancelled

[catmanjack]

Can I get Cincinnati to replace Arkansas please.

[Darrell KSR]

Can I get Cincinnati to replace Arkansas please.

You got it.

[Darrell KSR]

For those of us who have selected Arkansas, please select another team, as TCU v Arkansas has been canceled due to TCU Covid issues.

[catmanjack]

Thanks

[Darrell KSR]

Liberty
Arkansas
Ole Miss

I will take Army to replace Arkansas since the Ark/TCU game has been cancelled.

[BigBluePappy]

Black Knights are certainly getting their share of play; Sarge would be proud...

[Darrell KSR]

I will admit, I didn't spend any time on studying them. But I figured, what the heck. It's Army. It's downright un-American to root against them, so I'm going to have lots of friends rooting for me too.

@RedditCFB: A major cheating scandal was discovered at West Point that includes 24 undisclosed Army Football players. The punishment will be finalized in January and they will be allowed to play in the Liberty Bowl.

Maybe the Army could call in a strike force from North Carolina...
