I'm in.

[89Hen]

Thanks. I don't think I'm going to do the one I normally do. $100 entry and after getting screwed a few years back when OSU/Miami went multi-OT (the ONLY way I could have lost), I've lost interest in putting money on it.

BTW, here's the link to the mainpage...

I'm doing one here at work, entry fee is only $20.00. I haven't done one in at least 5 years, back when I actually followed college ball closely.

But now, good lord I need help with my picks! Any websites that you guys know of that could assist me???

[furpal87]

Just wanted to move this back up front in case more people wanted to join!!

Well as a Miami fan, you should of won because we should of never saw OT2.

Miami lost because I was pulling for them. xlolx

That ref (I used to remember his name...but I let it go) made the worst late call ever...and on such a huge stage too.

Well as a Miami fan, you should of won because we should of never saw OT2.
The worst part of it was it didn't matter who won, it just couldn't go multi OT. OSU had already covered the big spread so I was a winner as long as the game didn't get to something like 55 total points. xoopsx

[89Hen]

OK, stupid question but is 1 or 34 more or less confidence? Is that how many points that game is worth?

[Hoyadestroya85]

registered... I forgot how ridiculously obscure some of these names are
that was quick how fast i picked

[Hoyadestroya85]

34 is most 1 is least
and that's how many points its worth

[813Jag]

[brownbear]

I'm 17th out of 18!!!

I'm 2-7 (UNC screwed me over this afternoon). FSU and Cal better help out later today.

[petethepenguin15]

[wkuhillhound]

Florida State is crushing Wisconsin 42 - 6 with 11:04 left in the 4Q.

Everyone picked the Noles points and records will go up. Unless Wisconsin does an LSU to Troy earlier this one is over. xlolx

[petethepenguin15]

I dont get why practically everyone has taken Oregon State over Pitt

I think that is where i can make up some ground

[wkuhillhound]

Oregon State couldn't possibly lose to 2 Pennsylvania teams in one season can they? Oregon State was the only team that prevented USC of having an undefeated season. Must take note. I know they lost to Oregon, but if they had of won USC wouldn't be in the Rose Bowl right now it would be Oregon State. xnodx

They but they did they got smoked. personally i like osu but i dont think they can beat pitt. I am an Iowa fan i know how good pitt is and I think they will come out with a win. I could see one or two people taking osu but like every one i see is taking them i meen is it just me or is pitt not FAVORED!!

[wkuhillhound]

3/3 BABY!!!!!!!! California 24 Miami 17. 2nd place has just been strengthened sorry pete. :(

[griz37]

I thought I had picked Wisconsin, but I actually went 3-3 today, up to 3rd place!

[813Jag]

Where's you allegiance to the ACC? xlolx

I guess the Wolfpack doesn't count. :)

[appmaj]

In 5th...but my points are bad

[griz37]

I'm on a roll, hopefully Missouri can keep it up tonight.

[813Jag]

I don't like the other 11 teams. I guess I was in the holiday spirit when I picked my matchups. xlolx

[furpal87]

I'm hot 6 in a row!!

[brownbear]

After starting 2-7, I've won five in a row.

However, I'm still 17th out of 18 even after picking up 31 points in the Rutgers game.

[813Jag]

I'm .500 again jumped from 9th to 5th. xthumbsupx Went 2-0 yesterday, I hope to go 3-0 today.

[petethepenguin15]

Ladies and Gentlemen

I am finally down to 6th with no possiblity

to return to the top

[saint0917]

Ladies and Gentlemen

I've a pretty good view from the TOP!! :p

[813Jag]

went 2-1 yesterday.

[LacesOut]

I've won 7 of my last 9. Damn Oregon Ducks!

[LehighFan11]

I'm going all out today with 29 confidence on Air Force.

[griz37]

I've a pretty good view from the TOP!! :p

Dude slow down & give some of us a chance! :p

[saint0917]

Dude slow down & give some of us a chance! :p

Your only two games behind me. Still a long way to go.

[petethepenguin15]

I've a pretty good view from the TOP!! :p

Thanks for rubbin it in, i appreciate it :)

[petethepenguin15]

Yeah its been fun but its all over with a 0-5 for today

I hope to have better luck next time

[813Jag]

Sitting in 4th place after going 2-3.

[wkuhillhound]

After losing 4 out of the next 5 then comes a 7 game winning streak to go to (18 - 9) and only 10 pts from first. Now I have the best record on AGS. Yahoo!!!!!

[wkuhillhound]

I'm watching for these people that mathematically are able to beat me.

1) saint0917
2) Griz37
3) Koflyn
4) Jay
5) Bluehen03
6) Lehigh>Lafayette
7) furpal87
8) DJ

Nothing personal just rooting against you that's all.

The Liberty Bowl game between East Carolina and Kentucky becomes huge for me. If I win that game, it will help immensely. :D

If Texas Tech would win the Cotton Bowl I am within striking distance of you & Saint since I have a lot more points left on the remaining games then you guys, but Ole Miss is playing tough.

[brownbear]

Even with my 33 and 34 (Alabama and Texas, respectively) still available, I can only get up to 12th place if I get every game correct.

My picks suck.

[813Jag]

I have the same record as Saint but his point total kills mine. xlolx

[wkuhillhound]

xbowx Now only 5 points away from 1st with the Kentucky's comeback victory over East Carolina! EXCITED!!!!! xbowx

Thank you Wildcats. Now for the people that are not a threat to me anymore.
1) Bluehen03
2) Lehigh>Lafayette
3) furpal87

The best they can do now is tie:
1) Griz37

Still a threat:

[petethepenguin15]

HAHHAHHAHAHHAHH

even with both of my upsets working out

mississippi and utah

i am still in like 14th

[brownbear]

I went 0-3 yesterday, losing my 33, 30, and 20 point games. I've gotten my 33, 32, 30, 29, and 27 all WRONG!!

I still have my 34 on Texas (now seems a little more dangerous with TT losing).

[wkuhillhound]

With Utah's win, more teams are no longer a threat to beat me. xnodx

Only two people left that can beat me.

1) saint0917
2) Jay

A guarantee Top 3 with a 19 - 11 record. :D

[wkuhillhound]

HAHHAHHAHAHHAHH

even with both of my upsets working out

mississippi and utah

You went up to 11th! Almost Top 10. :)

[wkuhillhound]

I am depending on wins by Buffalo and Ball State to pull me through. The Bulls already has a miracle win this season. Do it for me one more time. I need both MAC teams to win their games for me the win Bowl Mania. How exciting? xnodx

[griz37]

0-3 yesterday puts me away! xsmhx

I don't see any way Ball State doesn't clobber Tulsa so I think it comes down to UConn/Buffalo. Lets go Huskies! xthumbsupx

[813Jag]

I don't see any way Ball State doesn't clobber Tulsa so I think it comes down to UConn/Buffalo. Lets go Huskies! xthumbsupx
I think Ball St./Tulsa will be a shootout. I've got Tulsa. Right now I'm 15-15.

[wkuhillhound]

Connecticut is leading Buffalo 10 - 3 with 13:00 left in 2nd Q and Buffalo has ball. Score a TD for me Bulls. Latest from ESPN. xthumbsupx

[wkuhillhound]

Buffalo punts but Connecticut fumbled and the Bulls recovered in the endzone for TD. The score is now tied at 10 apiece.

Play of the game so far. xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx xbowx

Buffalo 20
Connecticut 17
Halftime

Just one more half to go come on Buffalo you can do it!

[wkuhillhound]

Connecticut 24
Buffalo 20
12:31 4Q
Buffalo has ball.

[813Jag]

Buffalo couldn't do much on offense.

[wkuhillhound]

Oh well, since Buffalo lost I'm out the race, but it took till almost the last game to beat me. So at least 3rd place is very respectable showing. :)

[813Jag]

moved up to 5th place, with a 22 pointer (Tulsa)

[petethepenguin15]

15-16

that is sooo bad

another one of my entrys is like 96%

i must have been out of it wen i took the picks for this league

Don't feel bad, I started off real good the first 16 games I was 12-4 :) , the last 15 games I'm 4-11 xsmhx

[89Hen]

moved up to 5th place, with a 22 pointer (Tulsa)
xconfusedx You scared me... Tulsa?

[813Jag]

xconfusedx You scared me... Tulsa?
Tulsa has an offense that can put up points and they only lost two games. They've only scored less than 30 twice, now they're defense is not that good. But in a bowl game known for points, winning team averages 43 points in the last 9 games. I'll take my chances. Ball State has offense too, that's why I think it'll be a shootout.

I freakin scared you did I? If I would have won one more game. xmadx

[LacesOut]

I have a one game lead over my GF, who knows absolutely nothing about college football!!!! I gave her the bowl sheet to pick the games and just told her to 'pick the schools you've heard of'. She asked "Delaware didn't make any bowl game this year?" LOL She's so cute. No really she is. I swear.

I think I'm 17-15.

[89Hen]

Ball State by 21+. :p
