On this episode of the College Football Survivor Show, a special guest joins Doug Lesmerises to give advice about the college bowl season, which kicks off on Friday.

Tyler Shoemaker has his own college football ratings system which he uses to analyze games, and he talks with Doug about the bowls in which you should feel the most confident of the winners this season.

Why? Well, because you might want to do a bowl pool with your friends. Or you might want to join the College Football Survivor Show with Doug and Shehan group in ESPN.com's Bowl Mania. Sign up for an ESPN account if you need to, find the Survivor Show group, use the password:

and you can join the group, make your bowl picks and match wits with the Survivor Show. The winner will get a guest spot on the College Football Survivor Show this offseason.

Even if you don't plan to join a pool, this is a great overview of the bowl season, and Tyler drops some knowledge.

Thanks for listening to the College Football Survivor Show.
