That’s right, folks – it’s that time again.

Time for this annual ill-considered insane effort. And it is definitely insane, especially in the Einsteinian sense of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. I do this every year, with the same amount of forethought (none) and research (not much), and I get the same coin-flip results.

Now, it should be noted that I’m notUNinformed – as a reasonably avid general sports fan, I have a pretty good lay of the land regarding the top level of college football. However, when you’re talking about more than 80 teams when it’s all said and done, well … let’s just say that there are some teams here with which I am less familiar.

Put it all together and we’re essentially at the usual “tilting at windmills” level of readiness.

(As always, read the following with this caveat in mind: while I have had some degree of success with this feature in the past, always remember that I have no idea what I’m doing.)

But bowl season can be fun regardless of your level of knowledgeability. It's an opportunity to watch a bunch of college football teams about which you know nothing. It’s a wonderful dice roll; you never know if you might happen upon a game where something unprecedented takes place. I personally have a bit of a history of stumbling onto wild and unexpectedly entertaining bowl matchups, though I’ll admit it has been a while since I landed on a really good one. Perhaps that tradition continues this year.

So here we are – let’s go bowling.

Can you believe I’m doing this again?

Once more, college football’s bowl season is upon us. And once again I, glutton for punishment that I am, embark on my annual Quixotic quest of picking the winners of every single bowl game. You’d think I’d get sick of tilting at this particular windmill, but no one ever accused me of being sensible.

As always, this feature comes with the standard caveat: while I've had some success in the past, I absolutely do not have any real idea what I'm doing.

And with that - let's go bowling.
