Bowl Predictions -National Championship

One bowl to rule them all.

National Championship is tonight.
I picked Clemson, 42 points in the Altese pool and 25 in the Dehlin pool.
I'm potentially still alive in the Dehlin pool, but the Altese has been finalized.

Altese:

Name	Current score	possible score
Sue	689	731
Paul	683	684
Mike	628	670

Here - no one can catch Sue even if she is wrong tonight. She has already taken the trophy from my dad!

Dehlin:

Name	Current score	possible score
Kevin	655	668
Sandy	641	642
Norm	639	667
Mike	637	662
Dad	618	660
Tom	615	657

Kevin can potentially be caught, unless Norm, my dad, Tom and I all picked the same team he did. At kickoff I'll be able to see who everyone picked and know if I have a chance.

Go Tigers!

Bowl predictions - day 2nd to last

Four bowls remain before the national championship, and they play them all today.
Here are my picks:
Gator Bowl: Penn State (6-Altese; 9-Dehlin)
Liberty Bowl: Arkansas (40-Altese; 42- Dehlin)
Alamo Bowl: Oregon (9-Altese; 10-Dehlin)
Cactus Bowl: West Virginia (36-Altese; 41-Dehlin)

My trophy dreams may be dying, I've gotten 7 bowls in a row correct, but I've fallen further behind.
I trail Sue by 64 points (and Paul by 46) in the Altese pool. In the Dehlin pool, I trail Kevin by 25, Sandy by 15 and am tied with Norm.
In both family pools I do have more points remaining than those above me, "so you're saying there's a chance!"

Florida Prediction

Erin Andrews University Gators 20
Dana Jacobson University Wolverines 23
