It's the most wonderful time of the year for college football fans. The college football bowl season begins on Dec. 16 and runs through Jan. 1, 2024, followed by the championship matchup on Jan. 8. One of the most exciting parts of this season is entering bowl confidence pools. These are the contests where you pick who wins each bowl game straight up and rank your picks in order of confidence. The higher your confidence, the more points you assign. The winner of the pool is the person who ends up with the most points.

Before locking in any college football bowl confidence pool picks, be sure to see what SportsLine college football expert Emory Hunt has to say.

Hunt is the founder and CEO of Football Gameplan, which has been supplying analysis of all levels of football since 2007. He is a former running back for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns and knows the game from a player's perspective. He enters the 2023-24 college football bowl season on a 46-27 roll on all college football picks, returning nearly $1,700 for $100 players during that span. Anybody following him is WAY UP! 

We can tell you Hunt likes No. 21 Tennessee to win against No. 17 Iowa in the 2024 Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1 at 1 p.m. ET, saying, "How will Iowa score points? Or rather, WILL they score points?" Iowa is dealing with multiple significant injuries including quarterback Cade McNamara, tight end Erick All and cornerback Cooper DeJean, who were all lost earlier in the season. The Vols won't have running back Jaylen Wright (opt out) but they are still 8-point and -334 money-line favorites, and in this case, Hunt agrees with Vegas on who will win. 

Hunt is also going all-in on a double-digit underdog with one of his most confident picks. Picks like these could be the difference between winning your bowl pool or going home empty-handed! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any picks of your own.
