To avoid the mess some had logging in at different spots and to just keep it more central (and get more participation), the Bowl Pick'em will take place right here. Ground rules:
1. Picks lock 5 minutes before start of the scheduled bowl game.
2. Games are straight pick, no spread.
3. Each bowl game is worth 1 point, with the exception of...
4. Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, and Peach Bowl are worth 2 points.
5. The two CFP Semifinal games will be worth 4 points.
6. The CFP Championship game will be worth 8 points.
Winner receives bragging rights...and possibly a $25 PSN credit. Any questions? Bowl games will be posted here this Sunday or Monday night.
Sounds good!
What the heck, I'm in.
Here we go...please highlight your picks in bold. :) If you decide to make changes, please let me know when you do. Thanks, and good luck!

Two things...
Is Michigan/South Carolina becoming a rivalry? LOL I hope not. One bad thing about this matchup is that Vincent Smith hit delivered by Clowney will probably be played on ESPN ad nauseam for the next month up to the bowl game...and probably a few times during the game too. It was a great hit, mind you (on clear days, you can still see his helmet in orbit), I just feel bad for Vincent Smith.
Also, that championship game isn't locked in so if it doesn't go like you'd hoped you can still change it.

thank you for doing this.
Unless FAU blows a 40+ point lead in the last 10 minutes, I think it's safe to call this one.
Through December 19
1. (tie) rollntider/Norm - 5
2. (tie) cflnut/thaima1shu - 4

1. (tie) Norm/thai - 6

Through December 22
1. (tie) Norm/thai - 7
2. cflnut - 6
3. tider - 5
Through December 24
1. Norm - 10
2. tider - 9
3. (tie) cflnut/thai - 8
Also updated my picks through January 1.
Mizzou looks like crap, looks like Iowa was a good pick though.
I'll update these in the morning/early afternoon, been busy the last few days. :thumbsup:
Through December 31
1. (tie) cflnut/Norm - 24
2. thai - 21
3. tider - 17
I wont edit my original post, but I want to change the title game to Bama over UGA. gonna ride my team to the end.
Through January 1
1. Norm - 25
2. cflnut - 24
3. tider - 23
4. thai - 22
It's seriously anyone's ballgame at this point - tider was the only one that picked one of the semifinals correctly, bringing the group average up to 25% lol. Noted that tider has chosen Alabama for the championship. As for the rest of you, you have until five minutes before kickoff of the final to choose your winner; only a $25 PSN store credit on the line. :popcorn:
Haha, we're all so smart!
I'll pick UGA.
Considering I don't watch US Collage Football all that often (Maybe two games a year) I'm surprised that I'm not dead last.
I'll Alabama for the National Championship

:woot:
Since I really don't need to worry about tiebreakers at this point, here are the scenarios (subject to change if your picks change):
Alabama win: cflnut wins.
Georgia win: thai wins.
Yes, that means I'm awarding this credit to one of you three (for the record, I'd pick Bama). Good luck. :thumbsup:
Of course I want CFLNut to win. :)
Final
1. Norm - 33
2. cflnut - 32
3. tider - 31
4. thai - 22
Congrats, 'nut...once I figure out how to send a credit to your PS4 account, I'll send it off. :thumbsup:
