2004 College Bowl Game Confidence Pool Contest

[PapaJupe2k]

Well I see some schmoes are posting their bowl picks in the College Football thread, so I figured we could do a contest like has been going on for NFL games all season. For those who are unfamiliar there are 10 bowl games we will pick (Jan 1- Jan 4), pick the winners with your most confident team being 10 and your least confident being 1. After the Sugar Bowl Jan. 4 I'll add up the standings and list them. This could be fun, anyone want to take me on? I'll post mine a little later, here is the lineup of games. You've got two weeks, so think hard.

Ughh, this wasn't pretty schmoes. I knew this would be tough but I expected a few people to do well. We have a tie for the top spot, or should I say people that suck the least.:D Anyway here are the standings and let's never speak of this again.:eek:

1) MarkItZero- 29
2) RicShaw- 28
3) MovieFan- 25
4) Marooned- 22
5) Me- 18
6) Submethod- 11

Correction MIZ is champion. The moderators voted RicShaw number 1 though.:D MIZ got the schmoe vote.

Well it looks like there's split champions of the BCS Confidence pool, just like there is split champions in the BCS. :D Congrats to MIZ. And thanks for running this, PJ. We all had terrible picks, I can't even believe I managed to gather the measley 28 points...

Oooh, I miscounted. MIZ came in with 29, I forgot the Ole Miss win.

Even more controversy.:D

[Moviefan1234]

Congrats, MIZ. Nicely done. :)

[MarkItZero]

Thank you!

And thanks PJ for setting this whole thing up.

Now if anyone needs me, I will be in the hot tub sipping champagne!
