Well, dagnabbit! There I was, all set for my comeback in my bowl picks and for the SEC to regain its footing, and then the Vanderbilt Commodores (10-2) of the SEC fall to the Iowa Hawkeyes (8-4) of the Big10. They were 4½-point favorites, so I'll come out and say it - I never cared for, or more importantly trusted, Vanderbilt as a football program. When you're relying on Vandy to uphold the integrity of your conference, you know your conference is in the shitter.
Here's the problem of a lower-tier program putting all its hopes on a potential Heisman QB: Pavia got his numbers - 347 yards rushing, two TDs, no interceptions - but the entire team only had 51 yards rushing. Iowa's Kamari Moulton alone had 95 rushing yards and the Hawkeyes as a team had 167. You live by the superstar QB, you die by the superstar QB.
And with that, the mighty SEC falls to 2-6 on the post-season; 1-5 in inter-conference play. My stupid picks fall to 11-19. I suck at this.
There are not one, not two, but three games on simultaneously right now, so gotta go. This is going to be a busy day.
