Had two "projects" for today and got this one completed and the other almost done. I am pretty sure osuche will like the results of this one, maybe the other one too.

I've got a computer program that simulates college football games (not a PS2 videogame or anything like that). It's purely statistically based with the teams rated on their actual performances including strength of schedule, etc.

I created all of the bowl teams for the '06 season and I've played all the bowl games thus far (20 times each) and the program picked the correct winners in 24 of the 31 games. Even got Boise St. over Oklahoma. Anyway, here's what it says will happen tonight. I played the matchup 45 times. Ohio St. won 25 and Florida 20. When the Buckeyes won, they won by an avg. of 10 pts. in high scoring games. When Florida won, they were lower scoring games and the Gators never won by more than 4 points.

Since Ohio St. won the majority of the games, I selected a boxscore that best represented their average win:
Code:

So there ya go. That's what the computer thinks may happen. Best of luck to Lilith, Osuche and all the other Gator and Buckeye fans here at Pixies.
