While I am definitely not a fan of either Alabama or Texas, I found myself 1.) Sympathizing with Colt McCoy and 2.) Feeling rather glad for Mark Ingram.

Seeing Mack Brown lose another game doesn't bother me one bit. But seeing a good kid like McCoy go down in his last and biggest game of his amatuer career is always disappointing to see, regardless of who he plays for or who I picked to win the game.

And I couldn't help but find myself rooting for Ingram after his moving Heisman speech. He seems like another quality young man and it was nice to see him break the curse of recent Heisman winners.

It seemed like this bowl season was tougher than usual. Across the board, we averaged lower point totals than in years past. However, after a rather eventful bowl season, Grant comes out on top for the second year in a row with 22 correct picks and 25 total points.

I apologize for the lack of updates throughout the bowl month, but for your enjoyment I will include this year's top 5 most impressive picks:

#5 Ray and Jacob take Middle-Tennesse State over Southern Mississippi in the New Orleans Bowl.

#4 Sue and Derek go with Marshall to beat the fighting Frank Solich-es in the Little Caesars Bowl.

#3 Nate, Clyde, and Derek pick the Midshipmen to upset the overconfident Tigers in the Texas Bowl.

#2 Nate and Sue are the only ones to show the Big Ten some love in the Rose Bowl by picking the Buckeyes.

#1 Jacob flies solo with Boise State over TCU in the Fiesta Bowl.
