2014 College Bowl Mania

http://games.espn.go.com/college-bowl-mania/en/frontpage

Group: Gangster BB
Passw: Corleone

Create a team using the CONFIDENCE option to join this group.

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 bowl season kicks off with five games on Dec. 20. You can begin making your picks a couple weeks before that (around Dec. 7; see in-game timer).

2013 Standings: MC, JL, YO, LI, JG, KL

I believe my strategy last year was to pick the winners of course but I left the confidence points where they were and I won on the last day. cool....hmmmm, should I do that again? Or, maybe reverse it.

I think my new strategy will be to pick the winners, assign the appropriate confidence points, and then REVERSE IT ALL. Can't hurt! ohwell

They should have a bowl game for the two worst teams in the country and call it the Toilet Bowl. It might be humiliating, but they could have a lot of fun with it. Banners with big turds on them, uncoordinated marching bands, flags with $$ signs and slogans like "doin' it for the money". Sponsors like, Drano, Preparation H, Plungers, and prizes like free colonoscopy, years supply of Amodium AD, and so on.

After 10 games I picked 4 correct. Good thing I had no confidence in any of them. Same strategy as last year. I'll catch you guys in the end.

Of course there are plenty of bad/red picks above these, but, it's the first time my 11 (and possibly 12) most confident picks have turned out right! eek



...but of course, that 98th %ile can nose-dive quite quickly here on out as I run out of cash (PPR)... whistle

Yeah, well, most of the rest were wrong, so... not that great. But the #1 guy Overall got his 39-pt pick wrong. Had a few more of my medium picks been right, I could've been a contendah!

One game left next week, but I don't think Kly can catch me at this point.

17 of 39 how pathetic, forget confidence. And the winner and new Champeeeeeen. The Godfah-duh, with 497 pts and 21 correct picks. His confidence shone through. As last years champion (first to worst) ...Congratulations.

I also congratulate Mr. Yogi BarrabbASS for not coming in last. I gave you a break my friend.

Love to all. cool
