All Picks Are In!

With 19 hours and 8 minutes to go before kickoff of the EagleBank Bowl, all 12 entrants have submitted their picks.

At some point tonight, I will have a mechanism on this site that will allow you to see everyone's picks. I'm not sure if they'll all be together in one table, or if on the standings page you'll be able to click on a participant's name to see his picks. But everybody will be able to see who everybody else picked for the games.

Meantime, here are some interesting notes about the picks:

Most Popular Pick: BYU +3 in the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl. All 12 participants picked BYU. This is the only unanimous game, with no one in the pool having picked Arizona. What's hilarious about this is that, according to the Accuscore projections on ESPN.com, Arizona is one of the best bets to not only win but cover the spread in any of the 34 bowl games. I still think BYU, having now been to the Las Vegas Bowl four years in a row, is better equipped to stay out of trouble this week in Vegas, but Accuscore doesn't take that into account. Anyway, if Arizona covers, it's not a huge deal, because the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl is one of two bowls that don't qualify for any of the 15 bonuses.

Runners-Up for most popular pick included:

-Central Michigan -6.5 in the Motor City Bowl (only Chris Sabatino picked Florida Atlantic).

-Boston College -3.5 in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl (only Yohan picked Vanderbilt -- nothing like a proud alum).

-Texas Tech -5.5 in the AT&T Cotton Bowl (only Chris Sabatino picked Ole Miss).

-Texas -9.5 in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (only Jon picked Ohio State).

Other Notes

*Hawaii, Fresno State and Rice were all picked by 10 of the 12 participants against Notre Dame, Colorado State and Western Michigan, respectively.

*Wake Forest, West Virginia, California, Rutgers and Maryland were all picked by 9 of the 12.

*Three games are even splits: Pitt-Oregon State in the Brut Sun Bowl, South Carolina-Iowa in the Outback Bowl and Buffalo-Connecticut in the International Bowl were all picked one way by half the pool and the other way by the other half.

*The MagicJack St. Petersburg Bowl remains perhaps the most fascinating of the early part of the pool. It's required for four different bonuses and carries a 12.5-point spread. Seven of our participants picked South Florida minus the 12.5, and the other five picked Memphis to cover. So either five or seven of the pool's participants will be eliminated from contention for the Bowden, Sabathia, ESPN2 and Climate Control Bonuses by 9 pm Saturday.

LOCKS AND SUPER-LOCKS

The most popular LOCK pick is Florida in the BCS National Championship game. Three people picked that as their lock. Two people designated Texas in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl as their locks.

The most popular SUPER-LOCK picks are Rutgers in the Papajohns.com Bowl and Texas Tech in the AT&T Cotton Bowl, each picked by two different people as SUPER-LOCK. Here is a complete list of LOCK and SUPER-LOCK picks:

Two cool notes on these:

-Politi's LOCK is Oklahoma State. Price's SUPER-LOCK is Oregon. They're playing each other.
