Stewart Mandel of cnnsi.com predicts my tournament games

(actually, Stewart made picks for the real bowl games, and I transformed them into predictions for my playoffs; i.e., if the games turn out like he says, this is how my tournament will play out, for the First Round and BCS Bowl Quarterfinals, at least)

As part of Stewart Mandel's predictions of all of the bowl games this season, here are his predictions for the tournament's first round and quarterfinals. Last year, Stewart was 6-0 for these games, including correctly picking Ohio State would win by one point over TCU:

10 West Virginia 27

:
