The 2014 Bowl Pool is off and running with 3 games in the books. The favorites have won the first three games, so the leaderboard is crowded with 17 people tied for first place. But not without some major drama – Central Michigan almost pulled off the greatest comeback in college football history. They outscored Western Kentucky 34-0 in the fourth quarter, including a ridiculous 75-yard hail mary with 1 second remaining – but missed the 2-point conversion for the win.
