During the few minutes that I saw, UTSA was 1st and Goal middle of 4th quarter, couldn't score (dropped pass in the end zone on 2nd down).

At about 1:30 UTSA also dropped a 35+ yrd beauty pass at the 10 yard line on 4th down to seal its fate. Never get involved in a land war in Asia or bet against a team from Alabama. (Unless it's the Crimson Tide. Roll Tide.)

I’m 0-3, off to a blazing start! Long way to go, anybody's game still. I am impressed by the matchups so far. 6 of 8 were close games. I am hoping for a close win by N Texas of course.

Definitely surprised by the Western Kentucky score over South Alabama. This is the same South Alabama squad that gave UCLA trouble.

Nobody did well today, but everybody is still in the game!

12 of 22 so far. Barely above 50%.

12 of 22 so far. Barely above 50%. After Duke upset UCF, the average for the 8 of us is only 11/23. Two oddsmakers' average is 15/23! We better all keep our day job

Kansas was down 38-13 mid-third, capitalized on a crucial Arkansas fumble and an on-side kick recovery to tie 38-38 in regulation.
Kansas would have lost in the 2nd OT but an unnecessary targeting call against Arkansas gave them another chance to make a 2 pt conversion for a 53-53 tie.
Then it's down to the rule of 2 pt conversions only to decide the winner. Arkansas made their 1st attempt, Kansas didn't.

Oh well, Bijan Robinson didn't opt out of the bowl game until 12/19. Texas could probably have done better with him against Washington. Oddsmakers didn't predict that late announcement either, so good pick by 4 of the 8 of us.

i cannot speak for the games i did not see but getting a chance to even play in a bowl still matters to the players. . just look at pittsburgh after they kicked the game winning field goal against ucla at the sun bowl.

Getting blown out in this FB Bowl Challenge (no shocker there) but have been happily blown away by the number of truly thrilling bowl games this year, including TCU's win and UGA's come from behind victory. To turn off a game early this year is to potentially miss out on an epic finish. Thanks for your work on this, vbbetterthanbb.
