This will be the fifth year of the WS Bowl Games Prediction Contest and hopefully the best one yet. The format is simple, simple make your predictions on who you think is going to win each bowl game.

For convenience of tallying scores and prediction the bowl games will be split into prediction bands. Predictions can be made in small increments if you wish, just as long as they are made before the day of each bowl game.
