The Spun 2017 College Football Staff Picks: Bowl Season

College football bowl season is almost here! Here are our picks for every bowl game coming up over the next few weeks.

Our regular season staff picks contest was about as close as it could get.

After the conference championship week picks, Matt Hladik and I were tied, making the Army-Navy Game the tiebreaker for the full season. We both picked Navy, which meant it would come down to total points. Matt picked 46, I picked 44, and the low-scoring 14-13 finish (An Army win) gave me the tiebreaker and the season contest win.

Here are the full season standings:

We’re not done making picks yet, though!
