For the record, I have had the highest “best bet” percentage over the previous 3 seasons in a “fairly legal” college football pool that’s been running for many years. The pool really doesn’t exist though, sssshhhh! The reason I tell you this, is because I have never been the champion of the pool at the end of the season, nor have I won an individual week of the pool in the last 8+ years, which means Im very good at making 3 or 12 picks a week, and terrible with the other 9 games. Are you hearing me? With that said, you can probably eliminate my picks after humoring yourself with reading them. I do believe this can be a very complicated year with several undefeated teams at the end, causing the perfect clusterfoch to end the BCS. I can only pray this happens. Without further ado, here are my predictions for the major conferences, a sampling of what a playoff would look like if it was in place this year, and of course, my pick for this years BCS Champion:
