Overall total: 18/28 = 64.29%, scores: 3/56 = 5.4%
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 match-up, 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.
^^=Now known as the Champ Sports 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
