Bowled over

Cincinnati and Southern Miss won, so Drew, at 22-9, takes the title in the Bowl Challenge. Monday's game is irrelevant, since everyone had Ohio State (and even if they didn't, the only person who could catch Drew with one game is Stan). Since it's Drew, the token of my esteem will probably be candy of some sort, although I should probably try and make it slightly more interesting than just handing him a bag of Skittles. I suppose we'll see.

Final Standings (prior to Monday's game)
1. Drew 22-9
2. Stan 21-10
3t. Flax 20-11
3t. Rudnik 20-11
5. Dad 19-12
6t. JQ 18-13
6t. Tyler 18-13
8t. NJ Dave 15-16
8t. Rich 15-16
10. NU Dave 11-20

Drew has sewn up the second-best winning percentage in Challenge history (if anyone ever tops Marc's 19-6 from 2001, I'll be pretty surprised). Meanwhile, though I hate to keep piling on Dave, his picks were kind of amazing. He started 0-7, then went 3-3 to get to 3-10... and proceeded to go on a 6-0 run, getting all the way to 9-10 before missing another. He then went 2-2 to get to 11-12 following the Cotton Bowl - and hasn't gotten one right since, dropping to 11-20 with an 0-8 run, which actually manages to beat his 0-7 start. Talk about being streaky!

Anyway, that's the Bowl Challenge for another year. I'll update the actual page after the title game, but this is the last I'll write about it here. And with good cause!
