It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Bowl season is right around the corner, and with the way this year's college football season has panned out, nothing is certain.

Who would have thought that, at one point this season, USF would be ranked #2?

Heck, who could have seen them even being ranked?

After this season, most college football fans finally realize the weakness in the Big East and that West Virginia was clearly the best team in the conference.

But, again, you can never be too sure in this day in age.

In my personal playing experience, I know how hard it is to win every single week, and sometimes it's not easy to beat the teams you are supposed to beat. Each of this year's surprises has demonstrated the sheer quantity of quality athletes, and proven that anyone can beat anyone on any given day (Appalachian State).

But now that this wild season is over, here are my predictions on every bowl game, from the Poinsettia Bowl to the BCS Championship game, all my picks are here... 

 

IconDec. 20-Poinsettia Bowl
Utah (8-4) vs. Navy (8-4)  

The #8 ranked scoring offense and the #1 ranked rushing offense (at 4,218 yards) give Navy the upper hand in this one against the #3 scoring defense in the nation, Navy wins 24-17

Florida Atlantic (7-5) vs. Memphis (7-5)

FAU played 3 ranked teams, Memphis played none in a very weak C-USA this year. Based on how this season went, I'll take the Sun Belt. FAU is coming off a tough win against a very good Troy team. But we can still expect a classic shoot-out, FAU wins 49-42

Cincinnati (9-3) vs. Southern Miss (7-5)

This is our first chance this bowl season to see how good (or bad) the Big East really is, even as Cincinnati gets a fairly easy opponent in Southern Miss. The Bearkats wont have much trouble with this one, 28-10
