Wow...UCLA. Would love to see that game.

so is this scenario sending the champ to New Orleans or Mobile?

UCLA, quite a limb she's ventured out on with that one. . . Gotta give her credit for creativity.

Does a pick like that honestly make you want to take her seriously?

Well...obviously she thinks that C-USA won't fill their ties. After you come to that conclusion, you might as well be picking names from a hat. It could happen though, I've seen several prognosticators predicting 8 or even 9 teams out of the Pac 10 to be bowl eligible, so if UCLA goes 6-6 or 7-5 and isn't slotted into a Pac 10 bowl and C-USA doesn't fill their ties, UCLA to New Orleans? Sure, why not?

Well Auburn declined to play the Bruins in a "kickoff classic" game, I don't see why my Trojans should turn em down too. We wouldn't want those east coast sissies thinking the boys from Bama are yella!

I went back to the "too early 2009 bowl predictions" and they got 8 teams out of 68 actual teams correct. They did not get any match-ups correct, and only 2 correct for the BCS bowl games.

so early bowl predictions =
