So I am an avid football player, coach and fan and, as such, developed my own advanced rankings system (I don't like the BCS or opinion-based ranking systems). Using that system (without factoring in actual team strengths v. weaknesses) ALONE, here are the actual results and my system's "favorite" for each game:

BOWL NAME: Game result ("expert" predicted winner | my system predicted winner)
NEW MEXICO BOWL: BYU 52 - 24 UTEP (BYU | BYU)
HUMANITARIAN BOWL: N Illinois 40 - 17 Fresno St (N Illinois | N Illinois)
NEW ORLEANS BOWL: Troy 48 - 21 Ohio (Ohio | Ohio)
BEEF 'O' BRADY'S BOWL: Louisville 31 - 28 Southern Miss (Southern Miss | Southern Miss)
MAACO BOWL: Boise St 26 - 3 Utah (Boise St | Boise St)
POINSETTIA BOWL: San Diego St 35 - 14 Navy (Navy | Navy)
HAWAII BOWL: Tulsa 62 - 35 Hawaii (Hawaii | Hawaii)
LITTLE CAESARS BOWL: Florida Int 34 - 32 Toledo (Toledo | Toledo)
INDEPENDENCE BOWL: Air Force 14 - 7 Georgia Tech (Air Force | Air Force)
CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL: N Carolina St 23 - 7 West Virginia (West Virginia | West Virginia)
INSIGHT BOWL: Iowa 27 - 24 Missouri (Missouri | Missouri )
MILITARY BOWL PRESENTED: Maryland 51 - 20 East Carolina (Maryland | Maryland )

ARMED FORCES BOWL: Army 16 - 14 SMU (Army | SMU)
PINSTRIPE BOWL: Syracuse 36 - 34 Kansas St (Syracuse | Kansas State)

Woah wait...you're a UW fan?! I know this thread I put Nebraska as winner, but that's just by the rankings. I knew they were gonna win this one and they have been DOMINATING.
