As the thread title says ... pick 'em and win a 1 year premium membership.

There are 35 College Bowl games listed. All you have to do is just pick the majority to win. I'm not going to do the points thing or anything of the sort, all you have to do is pick one team or the other. It's that easy. Or is it ? We all know that on any given day in the world of College Football that anyone can be beat. If you have the most wins after it's all said and done, your name will be in red.

In the case that there would be a tie between members ...
Please read the following. Any questions, feel free to ask.

This BCS National Championship Game will / could determine the winner of the contest. With this pick you MUST pick the correct winner along with the amount of points (combined total for both teams) WITHOUT GOING OVER the final posted score. The one who picks the winning team and gets closest to the total will be declared the winner. In a case where nobody picks the correct team, then it will come down to the points. Closest without going over the total will win. In a case where members may be tied (1) chooses 'Bama and (1) chooses N.D., (and assuming N.D. would win), the player who chose N.D. will win regardless of the points total ... simply due to picking the correct team which in turn would give him that extra win. Questions ?

For now, all I can only list the games to be played. I have no inclination (yet) as to who will be playing who in whatever game. There are still games to be played and decided upon before I can list them to their appropriate Bowl Game.

Once all of the games are listed, please use this format.

Going in a vertical fashion, write in the numbers 1-35. Beside each number, please write down your team pick in the order as it will be played. I can not and will not be held responsible for any errors on your behalf ... sorry. List them accordingly please, thank you.

Example :

1 - team A
2 - team B
3 - team C

etc., etc., etc.

As far as the BCS National Championship Game goes, not only will you need to write down your pick, beside it, you must also pick the total points scored by both entrants.

Example :

Discover BCS National Championship Game - team X total points incurred by both teams 56

Thanks Blitz 👍 These are the obvious ones, I will add them to the list. I can assume you are in on this ? Yup, guessed right. ;)
 
I don't want to make my picks until the teams are announced. Can I wait until then to select? :lol:
 
Yes, of course. By the deadline posted which is Wednesday December 12th, all teams / games will be listed. At that time, you must be entered. So take your time and do your homework. :lol:

As the entrants / teams roll in, they will be added to the OP A.S.A.P for the viewing.

Confirmed, thank you Blitz for these additions. 👍 They have been added to the OP.
Also confirmed is San Diego State's acceptance into the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 20th to square off against BYU.
 
I'm in.


So when the teams are revealed, we make our picks, correct?

I was wondering how long it would take you to get in on this. :lol:

Correct. You may enter now, but you do not need to submit your picks until the deadline. ;)

After this weekends games, the lineup should pretty much (if not all) be in place for the viewing. This should give ample time to review the teams / stats / etc.
 
I'll play as well. ECU is playing in either the Beef O Brady's or R+L Carriers game on the 22nd.
 
I'll enter. Just PM me when all of the teams are filled in because I'll more than likely forget.

Added to the Players list. 👍

* Spread sheet added to the O.P. *

If all goes well this weekend, I hope to have the spreadsheet filled out in it's entirety and posted by Sunday / Monday night.
 
All Bowl Games are now listed in the bottom section of the OP. (link provided)

You have 10 days to review / study / analyze / whatever .... :lol:

Keep in mind that the deadline for entry is the 12th of Dec.

Once again, good luck to all the entrants. :cheers:
 
I was going off of this. But upon further investigation, I see Rutgers is going to the Russell Athletic Bowl against ?

I'll make the change. Still waiting to see who will be in the Orange Bowl against Florida State, then I'll add it to the sheet.

Due to an inaccurate link(s), I am "temporarily" suspending the link to the Bowl Games. The last thing I want to do is mislead anyone on this. I will make it available again once all the games are set in stone.

Apologies for any inconvenience.
 
The link in the OP for the Bowl Games has been re-opened (with some corrections). Thanks, and again sorry for the slight inconvenience this may have caused.

We should be good to go now guys. :cheers:

D3ATHS, you left a game out. The Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl ... Air Force or Rice ?

Welcome Jahgee1124. Please look at picks #3 and #9 - San Jose State on both ? I assume you meant San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl ? If not, I can change this for you.

*Please take note of the total points (bottom of the OP) that have been chosen so far. These cannot be chosen again once they are drawn by a player.... these are for tie breaker purposes, if needed.* Thanks.

If need be, anyone may change their picks at any time. Just make sure your picks are finalized by the 12th. ;)

I did mean San Diego State, I guess submitting picks while tired is a bad idea. :)

Thanks 👍 It shall be edited for you.

To all players : Please re-read the bold section of the OP, as I had to edit it due to a question which arose over the PS3 last night. It concerns the tie breaker .... just in case of.
 
Still confused as to how to submit. Do I type the winners and confidence for each game (1-35)?
Like Ex:
Notre Dame 1
Arizona 2.... etc.

No, there are 35 bowls, the numbers are in order earliest 1 NC 35
 
Blitz, if you can list them in the order that they will be played, that would be great. Thanks.
