Fab 4 picks
OK, we’ll admit it. The first installment of the Fab 4 bowl picks was less than good. In fact, it was our worst showing since going 1-5 in week two of the regular season, and it ranks as only the third time in 14 attempts we have finished on wrong side of .500.
And we found it highly unentertaining. Think of it this way, if the new Star Wars was all the way over there on the supremely entertaining scale, then last week’s picks were all the way at the other end of the spectrum, between “Caddyshack 2” and an insurance seminar.
Not entertaining at all.
But we are undeterred. Not when you stumble in a variety of ways that include multiple turnover-touchdowns for Appalachian State and Arizona simply letting off the gas. In fact, we’re doubling up to catch up, expanding the Fab 4 to the Excellent 8. (These picks are for games between now and next Tuesday. We will have multiple pick installments next week; one on Tuesday and one on New Year’s Day.)
