NBL Bowl Outlook 12/01/2008

This is the last entry for the year, at least the last entry with predictions. As I sit here finishing off the analysis for the last entry rumor has it that Georgia Tech will be going to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, so it looks like I’ll have at least one right.

Considering that it has been eight years since the Jackets played in the C-F-A (f/k/a Peach) Bowl this wasn’t a hard one to predict, especially after Georgia Tech’s big third quarter against Georgia. (P.S. for Tech Fans – Going forward that moment in Tech history should just be called The Third Quarter. I don’t think it is incorrect to assume that fellow Tech fans will know what that is no different that Aggie fans just saying “Sirr Parker” to one another and getting a big shit eating grin on their faces). To the Bowls!

The disaster scenario of a team with a losing record making it into a bowl game is averted due to the late season efforts of Hawaii, NC State and a few other 6-6 teams. Predicted to miss out on the Bowl festivities are NIU, Bowling Green, and Florida Atlantic.
