[ft420]

2009-10 NCAA Bowl Season Pigskin Pick'em

It's that's time of year again. Bowl Season! When the withdrawl symptoms from College Football begin!

Join the fun and see if you can out predict the "Experts"!

Here are the "rules":

1. The games are in numerical order so make your picks in the same order please.

2. Cut-Off Time is Saturday Dec 19th at 02:20 PM EST / 19:20 GMT / 20:20 CET

You're allowed to change your picks all the way up until 10 minutes before the first kickoff. If you have an edited post after the designated time your picks will not be allowed.

Let's have fun with this guys, talk some smack (don't get too carried away) and you can explain why you picked who with your picks.

And if you'd like to guess the scores... please do!

3. The winner will be determined by winning percentage. Duh... ok...

4. A player will predict the "(combined score)" of the BCS National Championship Game. The total points scored by both Teams.
._....to break any ties to determine this year's winner.

Prize to be announced later... probably a photo of Rat eating the worm>streaking.


!!!Good Luck!!!

Why don't we use Yahoo for our annually bowl pickem?

I thought about it... but I think this is friendlier. This is a pretty tight knit group!!

Why don't we vote and if it's agreed, we'll do it that way next year.

Sound ok guys???

As I remember last year.... there were many upsets are most of the bowl games were actually good! Let's hope it's a trend.
Good luck to all!
