Tom are you going to setup a Bowl game pick 'em again? I need to redeem my performance from last year.
Also, who do you think gets into the Title game if Texas loses to Nebraska? There is no way they'd put the loser of Florida/Alabama in there for a rematch. Would they put Texas into the title game despite losing their conference title? Or if Cincinatti beats Pittsburgh, would Cincinatti get in over other mid major conference unbeatens TCU and Boise State. I have a hard time imagining Cincy, TCU, or Boise playing in the BCS title game.

It has been set up for a while. It is:Discontinuum Group ID# 3002. The password is discgolf.
Regarding the title game, I have a hard time seeing one of the mid-majors get in. A lousy 3-8 Big Ten team only lost by 13 to Cincinnati. But maybe it is time for one of the lesser conferences to get in. The one thing I would like to see is the Big 10 be respectable this bowl season.

In Cincinnatti's defense, that game against Illinois was not as close as the final score indicated. They completely dominated and had taken out the 1st stringers when Illinois put some points on the board late in the game. If they win against Pittsburgh, I really think they have to be ranked over TCU and Boise State.
College football is full of bullshit (FBS). The system is a joke and all these games mean nothing.
I hope Florida, Cincy, and Texas lose today.

pretty cool
Bama crushed the Gators and Tebow
We have another group set up to pick college bowl games.
Discontinuum Group # 3002 discgolf is the password.
If you would like to play, please sign up. If you would like to play and get involved in some friendly wagering please sign up, then list your name here, along with your yahoo id that you are using, along with a new disc with a minimum $10 value.
There will be two winners. The first place winner will have the most points. The second place winner will have picked the most winners.
This is a little bit easier than the NFL pool in that you only have to do it once, and can't quit after the first week. It will also help those who have a tough time gettting the picks filled out every week.
You can play for free, and I hope that you do. But if you want to play for a disc, there are two rules:
1. Sign up here with your screen name and real name that you want to get in.
2. List the disc of a minimum $10 value that you are going to put into the prize pot.
Thanks and good luck.
Minnesota vs. Iowa State
Miami 14 vs. Wisconsin 22
Northwestern vs. Auburn
Penn State 11 vs. LSU 13
Ohio State 8 vs. Oregon 7
Michigan State vs. Texas Tech
Georgia Tech 9 vs. Iowa 10
Hopefully the Big 10 can win some of these games.
This will be the Wildcats' year to win a bowl game.

I'd like to see it, but its hard to imagine. Auburn just got done taking the #1 team in the nation right down to the wire. Northwestern finished the year on a roll, but that was against Big 10 competition.
I'm sure everybody will be picking Iowa to lose, but I think they'll keep the game low scoring and atleast have a puncher's chance in the 4th quarter.
Oregon put up 47 against USC, and we all know how USC has handled Ohio State. So, I'm giving the Rose Bowl to the Pac10.
I think Penn State and Minnesota have the best chances to give the Big 10 a bowl victory.
Signed up for your game Tom. I'll put a Champion Boss into the prize pool.
Team name: Load to the Face

Don't be too sure.

This is a great match-up of the two teams that limped into the BCS bowl games. I say Hawkeyes by 11.
I signed up for the game, Tom. I will throw in a disc as well. It is snowing and I don't want to walk oout to the garage right now, but i know I have something worth over $10 in there somwewhere.
team name: motorcade of madness
Team name: TigerWoodie
Disc for prize: Star Teerex
Thanks Tom!
Team name: tmcmanus
Disc Prize: Champion Orc.
Team Name: FaberCollege
Disc: Star or champ destroyer- can't recall whatever disc Terry was giving out at Cold Turkey last year.
12-16-09 - looked in the box and its a champ boss from Cold turkey III
I am absolutely shocked with Kelly going to Notre Dame. This just shows how stupid the BCS is. A team goes undefeated and has no shot at a National Championship. A coach of a #3 ranked 12-0 team is leaving before playing it's last game. College football is a joke. Nothing like waiting a month to see the final game.
Team Tom McManus Stinks 2
I'll find a Star disc to include

The first bowl game of the season starts tomorrow. Everyone is welcome to play, even if you don't want to get in on the disc action.
Man, I really thought that Fresno was gonna win that game. I can't believe Wyoming held them at the 1 yard line for 4 straight downs and they never got in.

I too am 0-4 in the college football pick'em... I know very little about college football, i only watch the big games. Like brett said, I can't believe they won't come up with some sort of a playoff picture to determine the National Champs... what a joke...
Boy, Tom, next year let me know who you are gonna vote for each game. Taht way I can pick the other team and get every oe of them correct! ;)

I am thinking about changing my strategy and start picking losers, but then I am afraid they might win and ruin my streak. There is a blind monkey at the San Diego Zoo that is doing better than me right now.
Big round of applause to Tom for getting his first pick correct!!!! Yeah TOM!!
I'm guessing you went back and reversed the rest of your picks now?
Way to go Iowa!! That baby just locked up the win for those that put in on it! BTW McBooyah is kickin some butt!

McBooyah is th big winner but didn't get in for the plastic. Aaron is the winner who did get in for the plastic. He takes first in points and ties for first with me for the most games picked correctly. I will make sure that the discs get collected and soted out.
Thanks to everyone who played.
We will be setting up something similiar in March for the NCAA Tourney, details to be announced later.
Tom
Thanks for running the pool. Let us know how to get discs to the winners. I would bring my disc to league Sunday but the snow which makes fishing for discs a pain will be a delight for cross country skiiing. I will be doing that on Sunday.
Tom,
I'll see Aaron at Fox Valleys players meeting February 2nd. I'll give him his disc there.
Thanks!
