Bowl Bonanza

With bowl season kicking off Saturday, we've had some people ask if we're running another bowl pool. Unfortunately, we won't have the time to stay on top of things this year, so we can't organize the same exact pool as last season. However, we've started this bowl pick 'em game on Yahoo!, (the group to join is "SI's Hot Clicks") and even though it's straight picks with no spreads -- which sucks -- we'll have to settle for it. So, enter your picks, rank them based on your confidence in each pick and we'll hand out some prizes to the top finishers. If you need some help making picks, Is Not A Wasteland (which we originally thought was I Snot A Wasteland) has broken down all 34 bowl games -- Part I is here, Part II is here -- using quotes from the extremely underrated Scrubs, featuring the extremely underrated Sarah Chalke.
