Congratulations to Scott Mason for running away with the victory in this year’s bowl pool.  Scott had already clinched the victory heading into last night’s game, and he also got Alabama correct and the exact tiebreaker score!  Incredible.  He finished with a bowl pool record 30 points.

Bobby Heffner finished alone in 2nd place with 26 points.  Brendan Galligan claimed 3rd place with 24 points and the closest tiebreaker.  Brandon Snare will get his money back for finishing last. Click the “2017 Standings” link for the final standings.
