Paul: So how the Hell does a ’79 “Mighty Fine” / LCWB USAFA Grad, who ended up as a LCDR for the U.S. Navy, earn his preview.?. We all know OUR Falcons are going to sink Navy by at least 17 points, and even more, if Navy stays for the 2nd half…!!!…

John, I stand corrected! My bad! I thought there was another one that year, but couldn’t remember if the win over Utah was in 2007 or 2008. Glad someone else did!

Thanks to RB, too!

Very happy to see that the Falcons are getting some love on the net.

Air Force finished second in the MWC in 2007 and beat both Utah and TCU.

Scudder, I am kind of wondering that, too.
Maybe it was Texas Tech instead of S Florida?

Paul-

While Seth earned his preview (by sheer volume?), could you tell me what I missed?

Michigan! Is there an email address to which I could send my little preview?

So, corrected for Boise State and some numerical errors:

1. Florida State’s percentage is 58.7% (37 bowl games in 63 seasons)
2. Alabama’s percentage is 47.4% (56 bowl games in 118 seasons)
3. Tennessee’s percentage is 40.3% (48 bowl games in 119 seasons)
4. Texas’s percentage is 41.9% (49 bowl games in 117 seasons).
5. USC’s percentage is 39.3% (48 bowl games in 122 seasons)
6. Miami (Fl)’s percentage is 39.2% (33 bowl games in 84 seasons)
7. Texas Tech’s percentage is 38.8% (33 bowl games in 85 seasons)
8. Nebraska’s percentage is 38.3% (46 bowl games in 120 seasons)
9. Georgia’s percentage 38.1 % (45 bowl games in 118 seasons)
10. Oklahoma’s percentage is 37.4% (43 bowl games in 115 seasons)

And that’s my last post. I promise.

Paul: Nice job. You definitely earned the preview. And I made the same mistake myself, counting one too many seasons. What’s your team?
