Bowl Mania

Recommended Posts

I almost forgot this one.

First game starts today at 2:30, but if you miss that one you can still compete.

Yes, Marko, we are using confidence points.

Gumbo is two time returning chanpion. Don't let him win again:

How does a 2-8 South Carolina team even accept a bowl bid? Gamecock'ish I tell you 🤓..

I threw some picks at the wall :huh:.. Some office bimbo blonde could have a better chance at winning this thing...

Still got time to sign up... The Appie St win, will only cost you 1 point...  next kickoff?      3:30 today!

this year is so messed up, I didn't change the order of the confidence points/bowl games.

You have to pick some games as huge upsets and go against the flow to win. Just going with "90%" picked so and so...

you could lose.

At least Zombo did the honorable thing and only moved App St. up to the 28 point spot... B)

Despite two guys with a one game headstart through 10 games it has really tightened up a bit.  -And- the big bowls are a week away !

Will there be any big upsets ?  Stay tuned.    :o

Yeah I wasn't paying attention and didn't pick the 1st two games. The good news is it's only 3 lost points (for me). 

I picked Liberty, maybe that's upset #1 lol.

Oklahoma 41-13 start of the 4th quarter....... looks like the bowl mania is going to tighten up about half way through.   :D

I didn't trust a Big 12 defense, but knew Fla was dog shit. That's why confidence points make this game interesting haha.

3 games today, hooray.

Well.....the Big 12 is now 3-0  in bowls  with wins over ACC:  OK St. over Miami;  over Pac 12:   Texas over Colorado;  and over  SEC  OK over Fla. 

WVa still plays Army;    Iowa St. still plays Oregon;

Big Ten is 1-0  with  3 games to play.

ACC is 0-2 with  3 to play.

SEC is 0-1 with  6 to play.  

Pac-12 is 0-1  with only 1 more to play.  

Clearly both the Big Ten and Pac 12 had bowl eligible teams that elected not to participate due to health concerns.

The SEC apparently didn't bother with such concerns.

Right. I think the health concerns aren't nearly as high down south. Doesn't mean they're right or wrong, just means college football trumps everything else.

And to be accurate...it isn't just  college football.  It is everything.    See the following map associated with current travel restrictions in the US.  Note that other than Kentucky and Arkansas having some "recommended"  guidelines...NO state in the Southeast/SEC   has any sort of  governmental order in place designed to curb or encourage stay at home orders whereas the NE/Midwest/West do:

Every time I changed my pick in past year's, I lost. So yeah, I'm standing down this year. But I was under the influence when I picked Cincinnati, so......

was too busy to pay attention - didn't know Florida was without 7 players, (4 starting wr's) until the game started. lol

Didn't know Xaven Collins opted out of playing for Tulsa - they lost.

and picked San Jose...and they are losing 27-0 first half. 92% picked San Jose.....

Bowl Mania is crazy.

I also picked Cincinnati on an upset pick. We'll see how it goes.....

I'd like to subscribe to the writer that can text me "Draft me! I'm not playing in our bowl game " roster changes 🤓... Than change some game results while sliding con'fuk points accordingly.

butt hurry! you may only get 8 minutes before kickoff 😫... note to self.. I will be hiring former fired Z assistants next season 😋..

Happy Big Bowl Day!

We have an interesting bowl mania tournament going on !    I can outpoint zombo and mark but Bob has a nice run going on -but- upsets can change everything.  The good part of confidence points.

 GEO/CIN 7-7 in the 2nd 12 minutes to half.....now 8 minutes Cinci driving.

Happy New Year to you all !
