For the second year in a row, Rob (lifeon8thstreet.com) was the winner of Transformatum’s 2008 NCAA men’s basketball pool. As the only entrant who picked Kansas to win it all, Rob receives a pound of House Blend whole bean coffee from Intelligentsia Coffee.
With very little fanfare I hereby announce Transformatum’s 2008 Men’s College Basketball Pick’Em. Enter your picks online by 3/20/08 at 12:20 PM.
The first of the 2007-08 NCAA Division I-A College Football bowl games starts this evening, so I thought it would be fun to once again share my predictions. This also happens to be my first college football blog post of the 2007 season. I normally write an entry or two in protest of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), but a season of upsets that could not have been better scripted — opening with Appalachian State shocking Michigan and continuing until the closing week of the season when Pitt beat West Virginia in the Back Yard Brawl — has done all the talking necessary.
Below you will find my bowl picks in bold. I will highlight the winners and post scores as the games are completed. Click here to see last year’s results.
