    I had high confidence on a few early bowls and still am in first after the SMU blow up last night. Lots of points lost there. This my first time so am just running on luck. Looking at he next few bowls I will surely do a belly flop from the three meter.

    Guess you did. I did not have many points on Temple but Exist and badass did. FIU quarterback went out in first series. Backup had only thrown six passes all year and could not hit the broad side of a barn.

    Okay, I reshuffled my picks.

    Maybe Lady Luck will arrive. :hookem:

    Looks like we are just past the first quarter. Lots of football left to be played! Let’s see who makes a push today.

    Three games on tap, including Charlie Strong to kick things off

    I see you there IDE!

    After SDS lost to army I tried to "steal" some points by moving toledo up from 22 to 34. Everything pointed to a toledo win. Screwed myself royally.

    Okay so I have lost 6 straight and counting....Toledo didn't show.... neither did all my teams.....I'd still take FIU with a healthy QB. SDSU, Tech couldn't close but could close us.

    Yea, I'm done too.

    Was hoping maybe top 3 finish but I'll be lucky to be top 10.

    Still trying to figure out the best strategy for this effort. I blew a lot of points on games that seemed mismatches but several guys have 200 points more than I do remaining. Guess they saved them for the bigger games. Guess we will see how this works out.

    Im climbing in the rankings, but have zero confidence in my picks. Of course ive missed on my lowest confidence games but i was still pretty confident I picked them right. A lot of weird upsets so welcome to bowl season.

    The pick six by Fresno was a total killer.

    I picked UH to lose but with little confidence.

    Measly 8 points.

    Don’t worry about that ... I think some, not naming names, did not realize you can move your point picks around.

    I made same mistake my first year. As noted above, you can manipulate all picks until that game kicks off. I am constantly shuffling!

    Almost halfway home and the 2 top talented pickers historically are in a amazing deadlock for 1st --Badass and IDExist. Even remaining points are tied. Forget OUThis is one of the best rivalries since Aunt Jemima vs Mrs Butterworths.
    I was always preferred Mrs Butterworths but my wife was raised on AJ.

    I'm toast. Picked Arizona to win with a lot of points and shamefully picked Mizzou for the win.

    But hey, Horns win so I'm good! :hookem:

    Good luck to the rest of you in the hunt.

    Yeah, AZ cost me a lot of points too. I thought their QB was some all world guy. I thought wrong

    Same here on the AZ game. I did take the horns but only for four points.

    Can you believe the person with the highest score has picked every game correct so far?
