I renewed the league and send out invitation to everyone that played last year. This game has no limit on the number of players, so everyone is welcome to join us. Confidence point scoring, but for some reason Yahoo insists on using a weird interface for this game. You have to drag the game up or down the list after you pick the winner to assign confidence points to your choice. Group ID# 14444 password: cecil ---

Thanks Oak for renewing the league.

I’m getting a strong impression that this year’s bowls (with the possible exception of the last few days’ worth – New Year’s and later) are just not all that appealing to college football fans on SDMB. The two threads I started on which “favored teams” will lose have gotten only token responses/votes. And I can’t decide which (if any) early bowls I’ll even watch. ---

**Zeldar** , I appreciate your enthusiasm for making Poll threads, but I just can’t get into them. I like discussing CFB as much as anyone but admittedly, I ignore those threads. I will probably watch parts of most of the bowl games. Except the one in Boise, because I don’t like watching football on that blue field. It gives me a headache. I don’t bet on games so I really don’t care much for who win and loses these games. I root for the conferences more than anything. I want to see the ACC do well, but I enjoy it when the SEC succeeds and watching all the B1G and PAC12 butts squirm and try to dismiss the SEC. Most of all, I like seeing the B1G fall flat on their face when they had a chance to get into the BCS Game. As much as like WAR EAGLE (they are my favorite SEC Team)…I am rooting for Florida State to break the SEC stranglehold on the Nat’l Title. ---

4 games and no one is batting a 100%. Another game tomorrow evening. The Beef O Brady Bowl. ---

Looks like a Dogfight for the top spot! ---
