College Football Bowl Season, Bowl Pool?

I think it ironic that some of the people most active in this thread (blushing modestly, and pointing accusatively at notfrommensa) are doing so horribly in the pool.

Already duly noted and acknowledged. This is why my gambling vice is limited to poker and on the golf course.

So…who’s updating their picks for the Alamo Bowl?

TTU for the win baby!! At least they haven’t suspended any players like Gang Green has.

BG/Idaho is a good game. I really had very little feeling about it either way, but its better than I expected.
Edit. Well good if you’re not into tackling :wink:

In my case, I just enjoy the interaction. I did zero research, and made largely poorly informed decisions, except as applied to teams I have followed this season. I also put no real energy into the confidence rankings either, except as I was required to by the rules.

But I have enjoyed participating in the thread, and no, I do not gamble, so you bitchez can suck it. :smiley:

WTF?! Do neither of these teams even have a defense? This isn’t exciting. It’s pathetic!

Now THAT’s a bowl game!!! Awesome two-pt conversion for Idaho!

Ha! If I’m watching the Iron Bowl, I expect to see defense. The Humanitarian Bowl? Just give me craziness!

Good God. That wasn’t a bowl game. That was two teams who need freaking defensive coordinators.

You just described 90% of all Holiday Bowls. And how bout the ol’ BSU Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma? Same thing. This game was exciting and capped off with a ballsy call. I feel like I got my money’s worth. And never forget we are rapidly approaching the long dark 8-month winter without college football… Lighten up! Enjoy de fireworks!!

OK, OK, dammit. I picked Bowling Green. :smiley:

Me too, but I don’t mind losing the points on a team with the balls to go for 2 to win.

In fact they have now moved into the “teams I like category” I have never understood this crap about how going for it tells your D you think they suck, but somehow telling your offense you don’t think they can get 2 yards is good?

Ditto

Ditto, again.

Nebraska has a long and storied tradition; fantastic fans; and the stupidest helmets in football. Their logo looks like it’s made with electrical tape.

For the record, I had Bowling Green and Arizona today. Both losers. Geez, I suck at this pool. this is really incredibly bad. I went with my gut on my picks.

I am headed to Tunica, MS and the Casinos tomorrow morning, I will not be wagering on college football games. Playing in a couple poker tournaments. Maybe I can do that well.

:stuck_out_tongue: Electrical Tape is Black :stuck_out_tongue:

Five games tomorrow. That will shake things up a bit.
I had Blowing Green. They played basketball with Idaho.42 points and they lose?
Nebraska will give me 11 points.

With the Pac-10 suck fest I am really wavering on Stanford now.(But I will Never ever under any circumstances whatsoever bet on Ohio state).

I had Nebraska, fortunately (I think). Cal handled Arizona without any problem, and Cal’s defense sucks.
