Those picks are going well, aren’t they? Pretty tough to handicap games between 6-6 teams, which is what we’re seeing a lot of this month. Anybody remember when you had to actually be GOOD to be invited to a bowl game? Now all you have to do is clear a low-set bar for wins and sell enough tickets whether people use them or not (hello, Bahamas Bowl). The bowl season is becoming an NIT-like farce loaded with also-rans.

That’s fine, once the playoff reaches a reasonable size, the other bowls will BE the NIT.

Gambling has nothing to do with winning. It is all about the moment of excitement just before the win.

Which is why gamblers are famous for donating all their winnings to worthy causes?
