2008-09 College Bowl Pick'em

[Pollo]

with the regular season close to ending and teams making their cases to be in certain bowls, bowl season is nearly here -- and that calls for a special Hochuli challenge for which all of you can participate in. it's quite simple: sign up with the information given at the end of this post and once the bowl games are announced, you then select which teams will win each bowl. this challenge will not be measured by how well you do against the combo of Bones and myself, but rather prize distribution will be given to those that finish in the top 3. here's the prize distribution:

1st: 100,000 cash or rep
2nd: 75,000 cash or rep
3rd: 50,000 cash or rep

NOTE: in the event of a tie amongst any of the top 3 places, those players will receive that place's prize. for instance, if three people finish 1st with a score of 16, each person will receive the 100k in cash or rep.

each participant will receive 10,000 cash for simply playing.

so if you think you know your college football, prove it by signing up. when you sign up, please make your pick set name your GMF login ID.

[Willam]

I'm in.

[ADD]

Done and done.

See you in hell, fuckers

[Genius]

Are you guys sure you want to participate? After I destroyed all your asses in the regular season pick 'em?

[bpb]

I'm in.

[Pollo]

I originally had this thread in the Hochuli section, but I'm guessing many of you didn't see it. go to my first post to get the signup info for this year's college pick'em.

[Mustard]

done and done. i must break you.

[Red Machine D]

All set.

[BillyZoom]

I'm ready

[Poop Sailboat]

loud noises!

[PDiddy]

I'm in

[Pollo]

for those that still want in, get in before the Wake Forest/Navy game at 11 AM EST.

[Mustard]

Sweet, so far I'm the anti-Nostradamus.

[ADD]

Fucking Fresno State

[nuclearjew]

This is the first time in like 7 years I haven't done a bowl pool. I should see a therapist.

[Penguin Rick]

Fucking Fresno State

[Gary_Busey]

I don't understand why you picked against Fresno St.

[ADD]

We did pick the Bulldogs and they lost.

[Pollo]

We did pick the Bulldogs and they lost.

Fresno St. was looking good in the 1st half, then they went Detroit Lions-esque bad especially in their rush defense stopping Colorado St.

whatever, it's not like I invested alot of confidence points in that game.

[Penguin Rick]

I put 1!

^5!

[Pollo]

I gotta admit, I never saw Arizona and Colorado St. pulling wins vs. BYU and Fresno St, respectively.

[ADD]

I sure didn't see 'Zona winning for the first time in forever. I'll gladly take that one wrong.

[Penguin Rick]

I'm with you guys there.

[JT]

This is the first time in like 7 years I haven't done a bowl pool. I should see a therapist.

You're anti everything except watching the sports now. It's sad to lose such an integral part of the fantasy forum.

[JT]

I sure didn't see 'Zona winning for the first time in forever. I'll gladly take that one wrong.

BYU is gimmicks and smoke screens. The only one that wins that way is Inspector Gadget.

[Mustard]

Arizona is a good team, y'all... Fuckin' BYU. Maybe you guys should have put football higher than priority number 5?

Edit: At least I'm not in dead last. Mongo got two right, and has 4 points total, just like I do. Hahaha

[mongo]

i adjusted for that shit. i'm still gonna pwn this bitch. bama gonna get me 34 points.

[Poop Sailboat]

I've won 1 fucking game so far.

[Pollo]

the hell ... Southern Miss beat Troy in OT. I've gone 2-3 in my bowl picks so far (I was awesome last year, but I'm starting out like crap this year).

[mongo]

somebody picked the troy/southern miss game correctly.

*takes bow*

[Mustard]

somebody picked the troy/southern miss game correctly.

*takes bow*
I did... and netted a mind blowing 5 pionts for it.

[mongo]

I did... and netted a mind blowing 5 pionts for it.

yeah, i only got like 13.

[Willam]

yeah, i only got like 13.


I got 21 for it. Woo Hoo!

[Pollo]

so with Boise St.'s loss, I'm now 2 out of 6. only one person has more than half of their picks correct (4) and six going 3 out of 6 so far.

[Mustard]

Poor Portugal, six games, and no correct predictions.

And its kinda weird and intriguing how the person with the most correct picks (4 of 6) can be in 8th place.

[Pollo]

make that fucking 2 out of 7 now with Notre Dame actually showing up to play.

[Penguin Rick]

I hate Oaks Christian in and of itself because the kids who go there are predominantly rich douchebags, but even moreso for the fact that Clausen went there. He's a typical kid from that school.

[Poop Sailboat]

make that fucking 2 out of 7 now with Notre Dame actually showing up to play.
same here, but i had notre dame winning.

[Pollo]

update: 2 out of 8. WTF is going on -- Central Michigan should of rolled all over FAU.

[Penguin Rick]

Yea, that was a shoe-in out of the early bowl games.

[ADD]

The MAC lays another egg. Ugggggggggggggggggg

Hoepfully, NIU can get redemption tomorrow night

[moe_blunts]

This WV/UNC game is intense.

[Genius]

This game is ridiculous. In other news, I'm winning, and no one is surprised.

[ADD]

This game is ridiculous. In other news, I'm gay, and no one is surprised.

This game is ridiculous. In other news, I'm winning, and no one cares.

Fixed x2

It's embarrassing that NIU even gets a bowl game. There's too many fucking bowl games!

[Genius]

Fixed x2
You care. And I just had sex. With something that resembled a girl.

[nuclearjew]

Okie?

[moe_blunts]

This WV/UNC game is intense.

[Gary_Busey]

It's a great fucking game.

[mongo]

the hightest game i have picked incorrectly was worth 7 points. look out ******.

[Genius]

Okie?
I prefer to call her "okay".

[Gary_Busey]

That kicker/punter for Florida State is fucking awesome.

[ADD]

It's embarrassing that NIU even gets a bowl game. There's too many fucking bowl games!

I agree. But it's my alma mater so I couldn't give two shits in this case.

[Gary_Busey]

Fucking a, he did it again. The kid has punted 3 times, downed at the 3, 1, and 1 yard lines, all without anyone touching them.

[ADD]

If only he could put a damn score on the board!

[Gary_Busey]

Well, he's a punter. He's literally playing the best that any punter could possibly play.

[mongo]

bo jackson was the best punter ever.

[Pollo]

finally my luck is turning around ... went 2/2 with WVU and FSU, and now I need Cal to beat Miami, and they're looking good so far.

[Willam]

WooHoo! I was in the lead for one game! I enjoyed it while it lasted, alas, now the lead is gone.

[Genius]

Is anyone else having trouble with the live scoring of CBS and ESPN? The only decent live scoring updates I can get are from Foxsports.com.

[redsox39]

If you went by alphabetical order...you would be at 50% right now...

I did that in another league and I can't believe the sucess, lol. My picks were so bad, that random chance is beating my ass...

[Willam]

DAMN! I really bit it these last few games! Was in first after the WVU game, now dead last.

[PDiddy]

I can't believe that Missouri game went to overtime. I thought they were allot better than that.

[Genius]

allot?

[PDiddy]

Is anyone else having trouble with the live scoring of CBS and ESPN? The only decent live scoring updates I can get are from Foxsports.com.

The ESPN one was working alright for me yesterday.


allot?
much

never was any good at spelling or grammar.

[mongo]

standings as of 12/30.

[PDiddy]

Mongo is a profit. The only one to pick Vandy.

[mongo]

fuck you gt. you're fucking up all our points!

[mongo]

as of 12/31

http://i42.tinypic.com/144cmcp.jpg

[Pollo]

losing on GT and BC were fucking killers for me.

it looks like it's between Mongo and Rick for first, giving how many possible points they can win with the remaining games.

[mongo]

actually, if you look at total points possible, it's between bpb, crushers, and myself. rick is 30+ possible max points behind us.

[Mustard]

I'm pretty sure you're all gonna lose.

[Pollo]

actually, if you look at total points possible, it's between bpb, crushers, and myself. rick is 30+ possible max points behind us.

Crushers has yet to use any games with 28+ confidence points and has 304 points with 21 of his 27 picks right (up to this point). gotta admit I'm impressed.

[Penguin Rick]

Yea, I might be looking pretty early on, but I don't see how I can win this.

[mongo]

yeah, especially when you picked ol' miss to win. dumbass.

<3

[PDiddy]

That pick is not looking so dumb at the half.

[Pollo]

and I'm all but done with Ole Miss and Utah winning today.

[mongo]

it's gonna come down to ricky, pdiddy and myself.

i guess redsox has a way outside chance, but not likely.

[mongo]

wow, i missed two picks today but somehow, i'm now ranked in the top 1700 overall on yahoo. fuck. i've been lucky this year.

[Pollo]

so after today's interesting results, only five people can possibly get 400+ points: Mongo, Rick, PDiddy, Crushers, and bpb.

Crushers is still looking good with 31, 32, 33, and 34 confidence points with the remaining 4 games (if all are right). it really is Mongo's game to lose with 474 possible points.

if I was playing this game last year, I would of rolled all over the competition since I missed only 6 picks last year.

[Mustard]

I think I should be allowd to have a redoo.

[mongo]

i can even tell you who've i've got.

-uconn
-ball state
-texas
-florida

also, i have the national champion ship worth only a few points. the other 3 are all worth more than 27 a pop.

[Pollo]

I think I should be allowd to have a redoo.

if we're giving redos, we're not allowing BusterPortugal to get one -- even the Detroit Lions can give a better effort than this fool in this pick'em.

[mongo]

poor craig.

[Mustard]

if we're giving redos, we're not allowing BusterPortugal to get one -- even the Detroit Lions can give a better effort than this fool in this pick'em.
I mean.... how was I supposed to see Utah coming in and dominating Alabama like that?

I want to chew some faces.

[PDiddy]

i can even tell you who've i've got.

-uconn
-ball state
-texas
-florida

also, i have the national champion ship worth only a few points. the other 3 are all worth more than 27 a pop.

Had the same picks as you. I'm gonna switch a couple up try and catch up points.

[mongo]

Had the same picks as you. I'm gonna switch a couple up try and catch up points.

i still might change the championship game. i just can't decide on that fucker.

[mongo]

assuming i don't pick any of the last 3 games correctly, only 4 people could possibly beat me.

bpb
rick
crushers
pdiddy

one more pick correct and it's over.

[nuclearjew]

http://www.sallys-place.com/food/columns/zonis/Best_Cookie-20.jpg

[PDiddy]

Crushers is the only one with a shot to beat you now.

[Pollo]
