Aye Aye Captain!
With Monday night's 2013 BCS National Championship inching closer to kickoff, many people are starting to make their predictions on the outcome of the game, and it looks like dogs are now joining the fray.
A yellow lab named Captain Skipper from St. Pete Beach, Florida, also known as "The Diving Dog from St. Pete", chose between No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama recently, and he did so at the bottom of a pool.
YouTube user Hunter Skipper posted a video of Captain Skipper's selection, which entailed the talented pup diving into a pool, swimming to the bottom and grabbing either a Crimson Tide flag or a Fighting Irish flag with his teeth.
Check out the video below to see which team the Captain chose.
