2008 College Bowl Mania

Group: Gangster BB
Passw: Corleone

IF YOU CREATE MORE THAN ONE ENTRY YOU MUST DESIGNATE THE ONE THAT WILL COUNT IN THIS GROUP, otherwise your lowest-scoring entry will count.

First pick the winner of each game, then rank the games in the order of your confidence in those picks. The higher the number you assign to a particular bowl game, the more confident you are that you have selected the correct team to win.

The first bowl game is Saturday, December 20, 2008 at 11:00 am ET and ALL selections must be final before the first game starts.


2007 Standings: DA, DB, IM, JL, DT, JG, MC, YO, KL, LN

I'm in.

I'm in as well.

I decided to create 3 entries, but only one for this league my other 2 entries are public based.

My picks are Satan's picks

Didn't I win this the first year we played? Yes, Yes I think I did. I'll play again, even though my ESPN account was deleted and I lost all my uber points, whatever those are

Worst2First!

Call me a sucker for more punishment but i'm in

I'm in. Of course looking at how I did in the College Pick em not sure if I can repeat.

By the way my team is Go Bearcats.

MC will hammer as the H-eyes-Man. Watch out my major in college was Janitorial Services and I'm gonna clean the floor with you guys. Now I have to find some nice Pom-Poms to shake.

Where is Beth, anyway?

Im in.

Make sure you get all your picks in before 11AM ET Saturday!

DB -- s'matta? 18 days notice wasn't enough time?

Wow. I thought Troy had that game, but they just lost in OT from a blocked kick. Damm, well, at least we all lost, and I lost fewer pts than most.

1 and 4 already

I'm starting to get that sinking feeling in my gut already!

I'm right there with you, Yogi. While I gave a high point value to the one I got right (South Florida), I also got burned by Fresno State losing when I had them for about 26 points.

Sorry JG... so much work, so many games, so little time. One was bound to slip through.

Well, if i am level pegging it with you Klyd, then i am happy

Lou, I swear, most of our picks are so similar -- are we using the same study sources??

Uh-oh. I better check your picks.
Actually, my "study source" was the point spreads.

I figured as much.

This is like golf, right? The lower the score the better. I'm kickin' ass.

It seems like a few people didn't rank the games, and just picked the winners.

Yeah, which should be good news for the rest of us

I was wondering how they were 2-5, and still ahead of me.

Not for long, I went 2-5 on my top 7

Dammit, I keep losing... BUT, so far still losing less than most everyone else.

JL... my buddy got me Jimmy's I Hate Your Guts for Christmas... I just know it's gotta be good once I opened it up to the chapter "Dr. Phil is a [BadWord]"

YES! And WHEW!! Way to go, WV!

I have it too. It's f'in funny.

Damn. That game was a pick-em, and you gave it a 24?

I hung 24 on WV too.

My source estimated a line of -6

In fact, everyone who picked WV put 22-26 pts on them, those who picked NC put 26 or 27 pts on them except you, with your 1 pt.

This Cal/Miami game is way too close for comfort! There'll be some movement in the standings if Cal loses this...

WHEW!! Way to go, Cal! Back over .500 for me

Picking the Huskies for tomorrow worries me a little, but it's only 4 pts (9 for JL)...

I was using current Vegas lines, and at the time it was -1.5.

WHEW AGAIN!!! YES, RUTGERS!!!!

MIZZ!! WOOHOO!! All the games I've seen so far have been nail-biters! Wow!

How the hell is the Maryland/Nevada game still going on at 8PM? It started at 4:30!! Another likely loss for me, but only 3 pts...

At this point, I think it's impossible for you to lose.

How about Oregon pouring on 35 points in the second half to blow by Oklahoma State? Those Big 12 teams put up some big offensive numbers this year, but the defenses have been knocked around too.

Stupida fucking game!

The Big 10 laid an egg in the bowls while the PAC-10 has shown that they deserved a lot more credit than they received.

Also, where's the defense in the Big 12. It makes you wonder about the legitimacy of the big statistics posted by those QBs.

What more could Utah have done to win the national championship. Alabama was a top SEC team, but Utah blew them out before the first quarter. Unlike Oklahoma, Texas, USC and Florida, Utah won every game on their schedule too. They won't win the title because they were never so popular as to attract media attention. This was the most impressive win of the bowl season so far.

These bowl games have been totally unpredictable. Imagine how wide open and exciting a playoff system would be this year.
