This totally slipped my mind until today, and because of that, I'm dropping the New Orleans Bowl from the contest. (You can still try to pick the game anyway.)
I haven't decided yet how to score the picks, but it will be one of three ways: straight up, against the spread, or on actual points. (With the actual points method, you earn points for how close you are to predicting each team's final score. If you pick LSU to beat Miami 28-24 in the Peach Bowl but Miami wins 26-23, you'd earn 7 points.)
The next post will list the matchups and odds.

Peach Bowl (no line) LSU 31, Miami 27 (2OT) So you think in the second overtime, Lsu will score a TD first, go for two, turn it over to Miami on the conversion for a pick-2, with the Tigers keeping the Miami offense out of the end zone on the next possession? That's the only way I could think of a 4-point overtime win taking place. It's a longshot, man.  . |

Yeah, I think I meant 30-27 there. |

And with the news that Jamarcus Russell will be missing the Peach Bowl, I'm changing my prediction a second time: Miami 21, LSU 17.
