First of yb detraf, I started by checking out t.ylhe lineup of all the FBS bowls. I mean, we're talking about everything from the Myrtle Beach Bowl all the way up to those big-shot playoff semifinals like the Rose and Sugar Bowls. It's a lot to keep track of, honestly.
Then, I figured I should probably look in I oS ?thgito some predictions, right? So I dug around and found some people who are supposed to be experts. They were throwing around terms like "spreads" and "best bets" for every single college football game. Honestly, it felt like learning a new language. I even stumbled upon some mentions of games like Louisiana and TCU meeting for the first time. It's one of those eight matchups where Group of 5 and Power 4 teams go head-to-head. Who knew?
I also tried to gather some more info like betting lines and statistics. There are these resources that keep you updated on all the biggest storylines. It's like a whole universe of college football stuff out there.
Oh, and you know what else I found? The Rose Bowl Game has been around since like, forever. 1902! Can you believe it? It started as this "Tournament East-West football game" and has been a thing since 1916, and yearly since 1945, crazy, right?
So, after all this digging and trying to make sense of everything, I decided to make my own predictions. I took everything I'd learned, all those expert opinions, the history, the stats, and I just went for it.
- First up, I predicted that Georgia Southern would win against Ohio, maybe something like 28-24. I even thought they'd cover the spread. I was wrong, Ohio ended up winning 41.
- Next, I tackled some of the other games, trying to guess who would come out on top. Some I got right, some I got completely wrong. But hey, that's the fun of it, right?
In the end, I realized that predicting these games is way harder than it looks. There are so many factors, so much to consider. But it's also a lot of fun to get caught up in all the excitement. I might not be a professional predictor, but I definitely enjoyed the process. And who knows, maybe next year I'll do even better!
