Have you recovered yet from that terrible display of football last night? I feel like neither team should be celebrating and instead should have to do the walk of shame back to their buses to get back to their schools. If I hear one more reference to "boys" and "men" when talking about SEC football, then...wait...you have got to be kidding me.

Anyways, let's wrap up a bow on college football's version of a postseason and see how everyone did in our bowl pick 'em this year.

The bowl season finally got kicked off last weekend with three games including two that were actually exciting.

Join me below to take a look at the leader board so far.

The regular season is over, folks. Now to the weeks upon weeks of crappy bowl games that lead to more crappy bowl games and culminates in a high profile match up that we've already seen and don't want to see again. You can tell how excited I am for this.

So in the interest of making the bowl games more interesting and to the delight of college football junkies and confidence points addicts everywhere, I am proud to announce the fourth annual OBNUG Bowl Pick 'Em contest. Just try not caring about the Taxslayer.com Bowl now.

Details of the bowl contest are after the jump as well as the final results from the regular season Pick 'Em contest. Best of luck to you all, but mostly to OBNUG's Kevan because he'll need it.

We've reached the final week in the 2011 OBNUG Pick 'Em contest, so if you were planning to make a move, now would be a great time to do so. We have a ridiculous four-way tie for first place and 18 people within seven points of the leaders. It really is anyone's contest to take home.

Due to the conference championships and many teams being done playing, there are only 16 games on the slate this week. Choose wisely in order to make your move up the leaderboard and grab the coveted top place finish. 

Join me after the jump to see this week's slate of games.

Will we have another chaotic weekend full of upsets? If you predict right, you could be on your way up the leader board.

Join me below as we see some updated standings and this week's slate of games.

Last Saturday I spent 3 hours in a lighting store picking out all of our lights for our new house. I never thought it would take that long and I missed the kickoff of the game but I was taping it. I kept ignoring my phone and any TV that might have scores on it.

We ended up getting home and I watched the game on my recording only to experience heartbreak about an hour after everyone else already had. I don't know what is worse: experiencing it live with everyone else or experiencing it pretty much alone. 

Anyways, this week has pretty much been a haze as I've tried to turn the page mentally and realize that there is more football to played. Let's look at this week's slate of games:

We're 10 weeks into the season and the chances for Stanford and Oklahoma State to lose are becoming fewer and fewer. Can Oregon knock off Stanford this week? Can Texas Tech give another inspired performance against Oklahoma State and beat them? We can only hope.

Join me below as we take a full look at this week's slate of games.

This week, you and the word finally get to make a choice in the most important question you might ever be asked by a guy dressed as Verne Lundquist: LSU or Alabama?

The Game of the Century of Week 10 is finally here (first-runner-up: Boise State vs. UNLV), so choose wisely when placing your picks. There is a Boise State football jersey and bragging rights at stake. With a lot of movement in this week's leaderboard, where do you stand? Can @SmurfTurfAddict hang onto first much longer? Are you in position to make a late season run for the top spot?

Join me below to take a look at the updated standings as well as what this week has in store.
