I am reviving Sam60's annual Bowl Mania contest that he used to set up for us iRV2 "experts". It is free and if you pick every winner, you could win the big prize.
Or you may just win the iRV2 group (and the admiration of all of iRV2)

Even outside the playoff, there are many interesting matchups this season.

There are a lot of high level intriguing team matchups that are rarely seen like:
Notre Dame/Ok State
Baylor/Ole Miss
Mich St/Pitt
Okla/Oregon
Iowa/Kentucky
Ohio St/Utah

Also there are a lot of matchups of 7-5 and 6-6 teams this year that will be difficult to correctly pick. And there is a very strong alphabet bowl this year between UTSA (12-1) and SDSU (11-2).

And of course the playoff will match a resurgent Michigan against a Georgia team hungry for redemption and playoff veteran Alabama against upstart Cincinnati.

The games start Friday, Dec 17, so let's roll!

I'm in.

Signed up and made my picks.

Cool! Only 1 day before the Bowl Season kicks off, so get your entries in

BTW, in a this odd season, I have picked OSU to win all three of their bowl games

Oh my gosh, after the first weekend of bowls my picks have me so far in the hole, I prolly won't ever get out. I am at 3-7, and everybody else in the iRV2 Crew is above .500
How could my picked App St team score 38 points and still get routed!?!

I thought maybe you tried to pick all the losers! It will all smooth out in a week and I will drop to the bottom.

Ya, you called that correctly

Thx for joining me in the cellar. Those dang MAC teams are impossible to predict. Nice win last nite for UCF over the Gators.

Well heck, I seem to be holding in the top along with F4Gary.

JeffAZ · 12-27-2021, 03:16 PM

Woohoo, I have been successful on 6 of the last 7 games and have risen above .500

But darn, some bowls are getting canceled because of teams having Covid problems

Hopefully this does not impact the playoff teams.

mbridinger · 12-27-2021, 05:30 PM

That would be terrible.

JeffAZ · 01-01-2022, 03:16 PM

Whoo, don't look behind Stinger, I am right on your tail!

I am just one game back. Very happy after my horrible first weekend of being buried at the bottom. Only 2 games left today and that weird Tuesday bowl before the SEC grudge match.

Oh man, we are tied after yesterdays games.

I think we only have a few left.

Roll Tide!!!

WooHoo, I edged out the top spot in the iRV2 Crew

Thanks to everybody who participated

I consider this my top personal achievement of 2022 (so far).

My journey in this tournament has been similar to that of Georgia qb Stetson Bennet. He started the season on the bench as a 3rd stringer, and I was far in the bottom of the standings after the first week of bowls.

We than both rallied and ended up the season as champions
