Welcome everyone to the 10th edition of our annual Bowl Picks contest! Last year, KFPC won his first title.

The bowl matchups listed in the next post are in order based on date and start time. As per usual, the Celebration Bowl will not count toward the standings or be listed, as it is not an FBS bowl game.

Just like in previous years, we'll treat the CFP bowls (this year, the Rose and Sugar Bowls) like regular bowls, but people have to edit their National Championship choices in once the match-up is set.

If you would like to sign up for this year's contest, state so in the thread or on the Discord, and don't forget to get your picks in! Good luck! I'll also be posting in the Discord.

OTHER RULES:
-When bowl games are posted, you will have until the first bowl game kicks off (December 21st at 2pm EST) to get ALL of your picks in to be eligible to win.
-You will be able to change picks once per bowl game.
-If you enter your picks after the first bowl game on December 21st, you can participate, but will not be eligible to win.
-Ties in Final Standings:
**First Tiebreaker: New Year's Six bowl pick record.
**Second Tiebreaker: Most wins in any single-day period
**Third Tiebreaker: Random Draw

So... that was easy. Everyone who got their picks in took Appalachian State, which ran away with a 56-28 victory to kick off this unusual bowl season. Right now we only have four contestants, which is also unusual.

Standings (Listed in alphabetical order):
AgentP 1-0
GoTwins24 1-0
PsyMar 1-0
Rakumen 1-0

Also, the Liberty Bowl has been changed to West Virginia vs. Army, I will be picking Army to win.

hewwo again, Nevada and BYU won today

Current standings:
PsyMar 3-0
AgentP 2-1
GoTwins24 2-1
LetsGoMets77 2-1 (2-0 picks, 0-1 missed)
Rakumen 2-1

so far so good, but the games will only get more interesting from here! while there are still a number of unanimous picks, it'll be interesting to see if anyone correctly picks an upset or two to take an advantage!

also, the Military and Gasparilla Bowls have officially been cancelled, those games will not count toward the standings in any fashion.
