Please make your selections IN THIS THREAD for these 9 bowl games which run Dec. 30th - Dec. 31st. This is the last big wave left of the contest so choose wisely! Just (4) bowls + the national championship game (which only counts as a tiebreaker) will remain after the conclusion of this wave. Remember, you don't have to pick all games at once. You just have to pick each game before that game's kickoff time.

Damn, how about 24 hours of mourning bish? I'm hurting over here.

 

[Raising Heel]

Just a friendly reminder for you guys to make sure I'm entering your picks correctly and your results are being scored correctly as well. The spreadsheet does most the work, but I have to be consistent about how I name your picks and how I name the winner of each game. By the way, is there a gambling term for the team that beats the spread?

 

[Raising Heel]

This is OOTB. You'll receive no quarter here.

Still need picks from @GACMAN, @gunslingerdick, and @Hark_The_Sound_2010.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

I'm coming for you @UNC71-00 (phrasing, boom [ @heelz2345 ]) -- we differ on only two of five games today. I would love for you to be right about the Carolina game though.

ETA: NVM, we just differ on the Georgia game.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

@Raising Heel I'd like to change my pick to North Carolina +4.5 because I'm a glutton for punishment.

Seriously, are we not doing phrasing anymore?

@Raising Heel please confirm.

Also......get your head in the game @Hark_The_Sound_2010 and @GACMAN !

 

[Raising Heel]

@Raising Heel please confirm.

I'm gonna need you to calm down.

HEADS UP!

I changed 2 of my picks so I could hopefully pass 71. I had too many of his same picks to make it any kind of competition for me.

A bold but necessary strategy. It's definitely an added element to pools like this where everyone knows each other's picks

 

[BillyL]

I'm going to change 2 of my picks :

I now want STANFORD & GA TECH


Thanks.

You're supposed to make your changes in a new poast, not edit the original poast.

Air Force & Michigan now

GMAMFB. I f**king hate Carolina football. It's bad enough they lose, but they have to make it worse by beating the spread. It would be nice to experience two good seasons in a row before I die.

I think you'd do yourself a huge favor and be happy with that one season. I think that was Fedora's high-watermark.

 

[strummingram]

Wow... michigan looks like shiite. I'm really glad I changed my pick to them instead of FSU!

 

[coryfly]

I want to change two picks. I want LSU and Alabama. I think every game I've gone against my gut I've lost and so am bucking the trend and going with LSU and Alabama here. Did I do this right?
