Rutgers is replacing aTm in the Gator Bowl if anyone is interested in picking Wake. Doc, plenty of time to pick something else if you want also.

I'll take Wake Forest to replace Boise, since they opted out. Stay with the 40

Updated to replace Boise and with several Buckeyes opting out

Wake Forest 60

Thanks Catfan for running and tracking the games.

Kind of a bitter/sweet win, winning by losing less than fellow contestants. I never have been good at picking bowl games with odd matchups that bowls provide.

It was a very odd bowl season and I’m sure many of us are hoping it doesn’t become the norm with all the opt outs. They need to either expand the playoffs to where at least a lot more of the bowls mean something or just do away with it and go back to crowning champions based off the polls. It would never happen but a lot more of the bowls actually meant something.

Um, you’ve had almost 6 months to look at the score and you still want to go with Notre Dame?
