Coffeeman Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 If you're still interested, either get your $10.75 to me via paypal at coffeeman0866@yahoo.com, or let theeohiostate know via PM that you just want in the free contest. Do it by midnight tonight, and you'll receive the username and password to get in. Then your picks have to be in the system before the first game starts tomorrow (Tuesday) night, 12/20. Thanks and good luck to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeohiostate Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 We have a total of 17 paid entries and 1 that will be playing for bragging right. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonkis Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 No love for BYU, Nebraska, FSU, or Wisconsin and only one idiot for Missouri I just couldn't pick both the East and West coast USC Highest total points for Rose bowl is 87. That could be exciting, unless of course it's 70-17. Good Luck, boys and girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have a whole spreadsheet set up, so here's some more data for you: - Of our favorite picks, "Mr. Consensus" would be theprofessor, who has 27 of the 28. - Mr. Contrarian = KevinL, who only picked the favorite 18 times. Is it a coincidence he's not playing for $? Hmmm... - SEC leads the favored conferences, as we felt they'd take 6 bowls; followed by Pac10 with 5, then Big10(11) & ACC with 4. SunBelt & Mid-American are supposed to be shut out. We'll see what really happens... - Miami v. LSU (Peach) is the most confounding matchup at 9-to-10 votes, respectively. Ducks v. Sooners (Holiday) & Tx Tech v. Alabama (Cotton) are also close at 8-11. I was surprised to see USC a 14-to-5 favorite over Texas. This is all automated for me now, and will be easily updated as we go through the games. Let me know via PM if you want to get it as an email attachment. Good luck and Happy Holidays to all...

But I think you knew that... Happy holidays! 1230358[/snapback] We're remarried, I have 3 and she has 3. Our 1st together is due in February. I actually had no idea I was going against the grain. Other than overvaluing Big 10 teams (which I admit I probably did), I just looked at each team in each match-up, checked out their record, who they beat, who they lost to, recent trends, and made my picks. Not playing for $ will look bad no matter what ... if I lose I look like the wuss that didn't pay up ... if I win I look like the fool who could have won big $ ... but it was just required the way finances are at the moment.

With Yao & Maggette hurt, and Bobby Jackson, Brevin Knight & Delonte West missing games also, this probably won't be my best week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
