Coffeeman Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Last year we had the inaugural College Bowl Picks contest. Despite having no budget and no $ prizes, we still had 14 in-house "experts" picking the winners straight up (no points) in the 27 games, just for bragging rights. Urlacher/Midway, Sgt. Ryan, McSooner, KS2K, DGFrazia, davearm, Meatface, KevinL, theeohiostate, boilerduff, unateve, Trojanmojo, teamprimos, and yours truly. We kept track on a simple Excel file, with updates each weekend until 1/5. Some of these guys don't show up anymore, they were so embarrassed. Does anyone remember who won? Uh, I do...I shoulda bragged more too. Anyway, I'm out to improve on my 18/27 score and walk away with the "prize" again. Looking back over the lists, I was shocked to see Sarge picked Mich St. over Nebraska in the Alamo last year, and lost. See, he's not a total homer - (who knew?!) So, who is in? And any suggestions for changing it - should we do points spread? Have a point system, with fewer points for the early bowls and more points for the big BCS games? Collect a small fee for a prize? Let me know.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsters Of The Midway Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I'm game again this year. I'm pretty much computer stupid so, I'll see if my buddy can throw a cool Excel sheet together for us again. Although, didn't one of the other guys here improve on the spreadsheet I had? Anyways, I'm in and would be game for whatever. We can keep it plain & simple and just for braggin' rights (which you pretty much wasted ) or we can make it all funky with point spreads, etc....

If I do say so myself. And you're right, I did blow it by not bragging near enough. So here's a taste: SEC and ACC both had 5 wins apiece, Pac10 had 4, WAC and Big10 had 3, then Big12, BigEast and MAC with 2, and MtnWest with 1 win. This is why the SEC, Pac10 and Big10 guys continue to give Sarge crap, and until Dec. and Jan. roll around with a shot at redemption for the Big12, there's nothing he can do about it.....
