So far: 17-11 (60.7%)
I have changed the coloring scheme. Since the BCS games are more spread out this year, I have color-coded them in white. The silver is used to help break the monotony of the rest of the table, but now the colors correspond to bowls played on the same day.
On the BCS bowl games: Each of the BCS bowl games has traditional conference tie-ins. The most notable of these is, of course, the Rose's Pac-10 - Big 10 matchup, but the others have them as well: Fiesta has the Big 12, Sugar has the SEC, and the Orange has the ACC and Big East. The two remaining spots are at-large bids. If one of the bowls has its conference tie-in ranked first or second in the BCS, then that bowl gets first pick of the conference champs or the top 6 ranked BCS teams (like when the Rose took Oklahoma last year).
Another note: If a WAC team is chosen for the GMAC bowl, then a MAC team will be put in either the Silicon Valley or Humanitarian. If a MAC team is chosen, a third bowl-eligible team will be invited to either the Silicon Valley or the Humanitarian if no bowl-eligible BCS team is available.
^=Formerly known as the Citrus Bowl.
?=at-large because some conference couldn't fill its bids
* = Accepted invitation
** = Predicted correctly
A team in bold indicates that I predicted the winner correctly
A team in italics means that team won the game, but was not who I picked
A bold score means that I actually managed to pick the score correctly
