I never claimed to be a college football guru. I have barely watched college football for the last 3-4 years.

I was just fucking with ya, since I finally get to fuck with ya within the framework of game-smack. Wink

All 3 of my entries (I have a confidence and a straight pick entry for ESPN TOP 50) are doing fairly well. The other two are both currently at 99%, but my entry in the TDMMC still has a higher max score remaining. I'm hoping one of the two TOP 50 entries holds the 99% score, as it would flush a 90% game score out of the bottom of my cat B score and add about 45 points to my overall ESPN ranking for 2009. I'm knocking on the door of overall top-25 status (currently #35), so any last minute scoring bumps I can get my hands on are good things. The playoff gridiron challenge game that we are doing is another opportunity for that as well. Grin

I went high confidence (24) on the USF Bulls today. I've watched Northern Illinois a couple of times this season, and I think they haven't seen "anything" like the pair of edge rushers that USF has in Selvie and Pierre-Paul (local Deerfield Beach kid). I think they shut down the only real weapon that NIU has (Chad Spann) and win a lopsided matchup.

Sure hope I'm not wrong...I could use those 24 points. Wink  Both of my other entries have USF as well.

I do not understand how the whole point thing works. I am just happy to have a winning record with all these upsets

Thanks to all for playing the TDMMC College Bowl Mania game this year. My humble apologies for wrapping things up so early...I just got mad lucky on some of my upset picks this year.

NFL Gridiron Playoff Challenge is next (see separate thread). If you aren't in there...you probably should. It'll be a blast, and you know you're going to be watching the NFL playoffs anyway.

One final thought on Bowl Mania... If I could point to one thing, as a fantasy gamer, that I was happy with in my (soon to be) 99.9% entry, it would be my "minority calls." I picked 7 teams this year that had the majority of entries picking against them. I was 7-0 in those games, for 109 points in confidence. I've played this game "a few times" in the past, and that's definitely the best I've ever done on the minority calls. I'll come back down to earth next season and finish middle of the pack, just watch... Wink

I like how I have the worst record, yet I'm still in the middle of the pack Tongue.

^^^ It's all about the confidence rating... I've seen entries that won the overall game title that had 7 or 8 bad picks, but they were all low confidence ratings, so they were able to pack in the points in the games they got right. It was a brutally tough year for most in this game...so many upsets that it was almost like a crapshoot out there.
