One of my favorite sports days of the year! We have Championship Playoff games starting mere minutes from now. Thankfully, Texas won yesterday against Michigan in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl. I watched at a local restaurant and made friends of the waitstaff as I was pretty much the only one there. But, I had a great time watching Arch Manning will his team to victory with an incredible passing and rushing performance!
In our pool, the powerhouse ladies continue to wage their battle. Kathy and Margaret are tied going into today with yours truly one game behind. In a first for the pool, we all picked the losing side in the Vanderbilt versus Iowa game. The Hawkeyes usually win their bowl game so I was surprised no one picked them. The Vanderbilt quarterback is an Albuquerque native so that is why I picked the Commodores. But, for some reason, so did all of you! So we all lost. Duke won a close game. Utah blew Nebraska out, and Miami pulled a massive upset over Ohio State. Overall, we had a poor day of picking, but most of us still sport a record over .500.
Today we have Texas Tech v. Oregon in the first game. Most of you have Oregon. Vegas likes Oregon by a point and a half.
The next game is Indiana v. Alabama. Most of you have Indiana. Vegas has Indiana by a touchdown.
The last game is Georgia v. Ole Miss. Nearly all of us have Georgia. Vegas has Georgia by 6.5 points.
The leaders of the pool both have Oregon, Indiana, and Georgia. I have Texas Tech, Indiana, and Georgia. Still a ton of football to be played! After today's games you can send me your semi-final picks. Have a happy New Years Day!

Yay for the ladies. I don’t expect to be at the top when all is played out, but great to be in the hunt for so long.
