AccuScore has powered more than 10,000 simulations for every bowl game for ESPN.com, calculating how each team's performance changes in response to game conditions and opponent's abilities. Each game is simulated one play at a time and the game is replayed a minimum of 10,000 times to generate forecasted winning percentages. For more, visit AccuScore.com.

I'm rounding up the scores since they are done to the tenth. Also publishing the % of times a team won simulations. Maybe something to think about if you do any type of confidence pools when picking bowl games.

How much do you want to bet that their predictions don't come close?
Wow - if these predictions come true, the Big Ten would be 2-7 in bowl games?!?!? Ouch!!!
Wake Forest will not beat UCONN- UCONN shares the BE title but gets no respect. That's fine because respect does not win games anyway. UCONN will Show them.

WVU/Okl is the game to watch. I think WVU will show up and make a statement.

I see the BE 5-0. I guess that makes me a homer. So be it.
I think The BEast will go 5-0 or 4-1 in the bowl games if all goes as planned. I think Oklahoma will be surprised. Coach Rod won't let the Mountaineers play such a bad game twice in a row.
