It’s time for the exciting time of year in college football as bowl season is upon us once again. Now, every handicapper out there has their own takes on which games are the best or which teams are virtual locks when it comes to a matchup against their opponent once the bowl games are announced. We here at Winners and Whiners are no different so we’re going to give you not one, not two, not three, but four different takes on what we, the senior handicappers at Winners and Whiners, think of the top bowl games.
