BCS National Championship Alabama vs Notre Dame (Ala -9.5, 40.5) The Pick: Alabama -9.5 It’s unfortunate that the college football season comes to a close tonight, but at least it ends with a bang: #1 Notre Dame and #2 Alabama, playing for it all.

Rose Bowl Wisconsin vs Stanford (Stan -6, 47.5) The Pick: Wisconsin +6 After another rough NFL Sunday it’s time to get back to where we’ve made our money this year: college football.

It’s Championship Week, the last real college football weekend. The bowl season is something else entirely. We’ve had a decent year, 23-17 overall, and hopefully we can top it off with a good weekend.
