It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's bowl season!! And that can only mean one thing here on SBDA: that's right, it's time for the Annual Bowl Picks Super Spectacular Prognostication Post!!!! (insert cheers and confetti)

This is what, the 3rd year of embarrasing myself with my picks in front of the whole Interweb? And I'm still doing it? Wow, I really am a glutton for punishment.

Seeing as how I don't have the time or creative juices to do another ABPSSPP like I really want to do a la the first one (and I promise it's not because of the MyFace), this one's gonna be more like last year's: short, sweet and mostly wrong.

And away we go...
