College Bowl Pick'em Contest

[Derwood]

USF has dropped four of their last five and five of their last seven - with one of the wins over Syracuse

 

and are still 2 TD favorites over Memphis

[Andy]

Last year I think I had 30 points on LSU or something, and will probably do something similar with Texas this year

Texas 34 for me.

[NCCubFan]

man, confidence points were tough to go with in this thing. Nevada upsets Maryland and I stand to lose 30 points? ouch

With as many bowl games as there are I'm not sure I would have used confidence points if there was a choice. But unlike the regular season contest, the bowl contest automatically uses confidence points; there's no option.

[bukie]

Big Ten teams are involved in 6 of my top 7 confidence picks.

 

Just horrible matchups all around for them this year.

 

And great matchups for the SEC.

The contest on ESPN allows for the option on confidence points and they're essentially running two separate contests, one with and one without.

Texas was number 1 for me and I think Mizzou will kill Northwestern by the way

[Prior4CyYoung]

picking the teams does not seem that tough, but struggling with the confidence points.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'm in as SEC SPEED ROOLZ.

[Mephistopheles]

After one day of Bowl Games, I wonder who is on top.

 

 

ISUCubsFan and I were the only ones to get all four of today's games correct. I had more points on the games, so I'm up 77-75 on him. It should be noted that we were the only two people to correctly pick Colorado State over Fresno State. The difference between our scores was the confidence we had in the pick. I had 11 points on it, he had 4.

 

It's also worth mentioning that we were one of only a handful to pick Arizona over Brigham Young. We also had more points on that game than anyone else.

 

I had 29 points on USF, 22 points on Arizona, 11 points on Colorado State and 15 points on Wake Forest.

willie tuitama will be better in the nfl than saint tebow. he'll probably circumcise more oprhans too.

[Andy]

I know who's not in front - me.

 

28 points on BYU. 13 on Fresno. 11 on Navy.

 

I always suck in bowl picks, but I've never been almost completely sunk after one day before.

[Guest]

There was one year where I picked the first 11 bowl games correctly.

 

That's not going to happen this year.

[Derwood]

holy ish.....i went 1-3, and had 31, 24 and 13 points on the games i got wrong. At least I had 34 on the game I got right

[NCCubFan]

Not too bad; 8th place with 31 points. I missed Fresno State-Colorado State (17 points) and Arizona-BYU (8 points).

[bukie]

3 of 4 right, but only 27 points. Should've kept USF up higher. Only lost 2 points on CSU-FSU.

[B]

I picked Arizona, but changed it right before the game started. I would have had 3/4 if I would've left it alone.

[dew1679666265]

I suck.

 

I missed two of yesterday's games (screw you Arizona and Colorado State), but didn't have more than 16 points on any of the games.

 

I still have plenty of points left to come back if I actually get the games right.

[Mephistopheles]

Another seven points in the bag for me. I'm five for five. I was just one of a handful to correctly pick Southern Miss tonight. Only soccer had more points on Southern Miss than me. And he had 33 on BYU....

I missed 2 as well, but had 4 and 5 points on them I think

even if my picks are the *best* based purely on probabilities alone someone elses will be more accurate.

 

I assume the reverse is true and your picks aren't the best then.

[cubweiser03]

4 of my first 5 picks are the 1,2,3,4 points. Tomorrow i have Boise at 5. I planned on bringing the heat late. 8-)

I also notice that i only have 6 remaining underdogs winning. That doesnt sound like enough.

[Derwood]

1-4 with 35 points. Rough start. Though, to be honest, i flipped a coin on a lot of these crappy early bowls
