    The Bowl schedule has just been released! 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: and @johnyb

    One more note, the National Championship game is included. Obviously we won't know who is in it until after Dec 29th 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 14th.
    *First game is December 15th

    PM all of your contact info even if I already have it (name, addy, phone number and email) if interested and I will give you the group and password info. Title the pm Bowl Pick 'Em.

    *Please be patient, 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.

    I'm using ESPN again this year.

    Cheers!

    Jump on in on this opportunity one and all as the guy running this little shindig has absolutely no knowledge of handicapping college football whatsoever.

    As for me, I’m in. Balls deep

    I was bummed to have a poor enough last week of the regular season to let @WhoDatMatt to slide in and steal my 3rd place boxes of beer...

    Of course, after my performance in the Bowl BIF last year, my confidence is very shaky. But what's another box to ship out??

    So I'm in too!!

    Also, on a personal note - @cfh64, that's some nice work on John's new avatar. I don't know how long it has to last, but it sure as shit makes his posts real obvious while I'm perusing the forums...

    i know this is a dumb question but do we need to make all 41 picks by kickoff tomorrow or just make picks before games start? Brain isnt working right now

    I had the same question and did my best to read through ESPNs official rules. As far as I can tell they use "rolling lock" which let's you make changes up until each game starts. I made all picks to be safe but I plan on meddling until I find myself solidly in 12th place.
