Title: 2010 College Football Bowl Pickem
Post by: Tom McManus on December 11, 2010, 05:55:09 PM
I set up a confidence pool on Yahoo for this years college football games. It is just for fun. The group name is Discontiuum and the password is discgolf. Just for fun and bragging rights. A little less work than the NFL season.

I like the division splits. Should be very competitive on both sides. The names of the divisions are stupid!

I think the divisional breakdown is good. I think across the board, at least next year the legends division may be tougher. I am not a big fan of the names at all.  The two names that I thought of were Archie Griffin  (Ohio State) who won two Heismans, and Otto Graham (Northwestern),  an All-American in football and basketball two years in a row.  Schembechler and Hayes might have been good choices too.  But with so much history it is tough to narrow down to two people. I don't mind all the trophy names, but with as many trophies they are awarding it makes the Big 10 look like the PDGA.

Tom, I think you need to post the Group ID# for people to have the ability to join.

Aaron you still may be able to sign up.  I don't know what points you miss out on the first three games but you might not be shut out completely.
