I think I have had one, maybe two, profitable Bowl seasons in my life. Some of the teams that show up are seemingly there to impersonate themselves, as it becomes obvious early on in the game ,that they have packed it in weeks earlier. Of couse, I am usually holding a big ticket with these mutts.... No denying the Bowl trends listed in this thread, as I am probably not the only one here who has taken a good ass kicking from the least expected team that somehow gets up for the "big game". Overall I have found the Bowl seasons to be very attractive but way too expensive.
