MEL AVANZADO is the winner of the 2001-2002 Bowl-Pundits pool. Mel picked 18 of the 25 games correctly against the spread to edge Eric Noon, who also picked 18/25, by only three points. There is no prize for winning this contest, but Mel spent the holidays in Las Vegas, so he probably was amply rewarded.

Five entrants correctly predicted the exact margin of the Rose Bowl. They are designated by a (*) after their scores.
