    Alright suckas, after my disappointing college football pick 'em season I'm back to avenge my piss poor performance. Pretty simple layout using confidence points. 41 bowl games equals 41 points. You may only use each point value once, put more points on the teams you have more confidence in. There is no point spread, this will be straight up but most games are evenly matched and bowls are always full of surprises. You think your conference is that much better? Back it up. Looking at you @turfy :slight_smile:

    One more note, the National Championship game is included. Obviously we won't know who is in it until after Dec 31 so keep that in mind when making your picks.

    *must have a minimum of 5 trades with 100% feedback
    *losers will send minimum of 2 bombers or equivalent of 44 oz of 90+ rated beer not available in targets distro
    *if you fail to send, I'll call you out as a bad trader and let everyone know you're a scum bag
    *trash talking encouraged
    *the tie breaker is the predicted score of the Championship Game...use it, it may come down to that
    *please use your BA name when you sign up on yahoo
    *payouts will be determined by total number of entries. Ideally I would like the top 3 to win but we would need a total of 13 (5 to first, 3 to 2nd, 2 to third...winners don't ship)

    DEADLINE FOR SIGNUPS IS December 16th.
    *First game is December 17th

    PM all of your contact info (name, addy, phone number and email) if interested and I will give you the group and password info. If you remember, title the pm Bowl Pick 'Em.

    *Please be patient, I will be slightly busy this weekend, I'll try to respond as quickly as possible. Also, sorry for not saying hello to most of you even if I know you. I'll be keeping it short and sweet with only pertinent info.

    Cheers!

    I admire your efforts in assembling all of these Pick'em contests even when you so badly suck at them.

    Still could use more people, first bowl game starts Sat. This would give you a reason to actually watch New Mexico vs UTSA. C'mon you know you want to!

    @SePaMc @bbothen
    You know you want a part of this... how hard can it be? Pick 41 games, receive boxes of beer, drink said beer.

    Alright lady @johnyb and gentlemen. Looks like we have a pretty nice turn out of ~20 people unless we get some last minute stragglers today.

    I'll post the amount of boxes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners tomorrow or Sun when the total number of people is confirmed.

    Remember to get your picks in for tomorrows games.

    I am going to have to bow out this year. I can't figure out how to adjust my confidence picks on my phone and I do not have access to a pc until Monday.

    I have had the same issue with the app in the past. I've found that the best way to get around it is to open yahoo in your browser. At that point it is the same as accessing through a PC.

    We have a total of 21 players. I was trying to get in the holiday spirit by splitting up 1st, 2nd and 3rd a little more evenly (ie 8, 6, 4 boxes) but the wife vetoed it and thinks 1st should get a little more of a reward. It's hard to disagree so the pay out is...

    1st- 9 boxes
    2nd- 5 boxes
    3rd- 3 boxes

    Don't question me! :wink: Ya know, you could have pm'ed me instead of making me look like a fool for the entire inter webs to see (in case anyone didn't know which is doubtful). j/k. I should be called out for such an egregious error. I hope you lose.

    The CORRECT payouts will be as follows.

    1st- 9 boxes
    2nd- 6 boxes
    3rd- 3 boxes

    Edit: She is still adamant that 1st place should get much more (ie 10 boxes) but my xmas spirit vetoed her. It's still not easy to place in the top 3 plus that's quite a few boxes for 1st.
