We picked all of the bowl games this season (You can see the picks here: https://sportstalkatl.com/sportstalkatl-1st-annual-bowl-game-pick-em/) and here are the results and notes of the picks from our writers (not including the National Championship):
1. Jake Gordon: 31-8
2. Chase Irle: 27-12
3. Mike Arkin: 25-14
4. Harrison Coburn: 22-17
The race was really close this year, but it came down to a few key games to decide a winner:
- Jake and Mike rolled the dice on Houston, and won a big game
- The 4 games that we all 4 flopped on: Utah State over Akron, Memphis over Auburn, Georgia State over San Jose State, and Colorado State over Nevada
- 3 of us picked Cincinnati, and they took a HUGE loss. Same with UCLA
- Mike and Harrison both picked Texas Tech
- We were all correct in picking Alabama
- Harrison was the riverboat gambler of the group, picking against everyone else to gain an edge
- Jake was the only writer to pick Clemson to beat Oklahoma
- We agreed and all won on 14 games, pretty impressive.
