Capital One Bowl Mania on ESPN
ESPN had their annual "pick the winner" program last night featuring some of their blowhard commentators who pick each of the bowl games one by one. They include a "winning dynamic" percentage of probabliity - which is a little confusing, but relevant. The comentators picked all the AAC teams that were listed to win except one. The highest probability to win team was TU. USF, Houston, Memphis, UCF and Temple were all picked to win their bowls, but "strangely", Navy was picked to lose to La Tech. If i were a picker, that would get reversed immediately. But anyway, the AAC is pretty solid at least as far as the pickers thought last night.

Go AAC!

BTW we had a few teams stink up their bowl games last year. TU wasn't one of them even though we lost our game to VT 55-52.

Navy is a concern because they lost their quarterback. Although I'd still pick them to pull off the W. Temple and UH concern me because they lost their coaches. I'm not sure how those games might go. And I don't know if Memphis can beat WKU or not. That may be a close game.

As for Tulsa, I hope we beat Central Michigan by 40. And we may be able to actually do that too. Realistically we probably beat them by 20 and still make OSU look bad.
