Predictions for Every 2021-22 Bowl Game

The 2021 college football regular season has come to an end, but bowl mania will be underway beginning tomorrow.  Just like last year, the Bucket Squad boys are back to give our predictions for the winners of every single bowl game that will occur over the next few weeks.  We'll keep track of our individual records and a winner will be crowned following the conclusion of the College Football Playoff in January.

If you follow our SEC Betting Challenge (in the "Betting" section of the website), you probably already know that, unbelievably, Jacob pulled off an amazing comeback to knock off the nearly season-long leader, Ryne, via their respective picks in the SEC Championship Game.  When asked postgame how he felt about his big win, Jacob simply responded, "Back 2 back like I'm Jordan, '96-'97."  We have attempted to contact him several times since then for further comments, but we have been unable to reach him.  Some reports say that he fell victim to a mafia-style hit due to his recent success in the BSSR SEC Betting Challenge.  I am not legally allowed to name the alleged orchestrator of the slaying, but I will say that he was the third place finisher in our betting challenge this season.

Stay tuned for a full statistical analysis of our SEC bets to see how we performed collectively over the course of the season.  Also, please immediately alert your local law enforcement if you have any evidence of Jacob Perry's whereabouts.  While his friends aren't overly concerned, his wife and children are distraught.
