WhatifSports posted their bowl projections for all 34 bowls. For those that do not know about What if Sports it is basically a simulation sight where you can take control of teams and one can get very lost in their site by playing historical matchups and seeing complete play by play in their sim matchups.
WhatIfSports.com’s Beyond the Box score predictions have been on roll in 2008. Using the same methodology the last two bowl seasons, we accurately predicted the winner of 78 percent of the bowls straight-up (and 64 percent of them against-the-spread).
